    Thanks Dragon, Its nice to see my name up in lights.

    Things are slowing down for me at the moment, about £7000 to pay for 3 big bills between Nov 10 and Feb 11. I have opened an ISA and started saving for them. Which means I am only able to pay the min each month off the debt. I will be still on target to make it to the finish line by July 2012.

    Well done to everyone, nearly 8% is brill.

    What a rubbish 2 months I've had:

    April = MOT, MOT repairs and service.
    May = My steering wheel locks up and I have to have a whole new steering wheel column costing me £320. :mad:

    Anyway at least I've managed to pay off a little, £50.36.

    Here's to a better month for June! :j
