  • Hi Dragon, Hi everyone :hello:
    Just thought I'd call in to say I'm on a physio break :D
    I'm still working hard at reducing my debts but don't want to post as have just done a few balance transfers. It will be much better for me in the next 6-12 months as have managed (after a lot of phoning!)to get nearly 20k of debt down to between 0% & 3.9% interest! It will make a huge amount of difference as I'll be able to concentrate on lowering the more expensive debts. The only slightly depressing thing is that my debt has currently gone up again due to balance transfer fees, so not posting totals til they go down again which I hope to do by next month, otherwise I might feel too demoralised!
    Just thought I'd let you know I'm still working on it :D

    Sorry I was unable to update last month, as I was away. Now I'm back and didn't spend all that I had anticipated on my travels, so I am pleased to report a rather HUGE contribution to my debt in June of £3,161.36

    This brings my total paid to £6,152.02 and the outstanding balance to £20,007.98 :T Woohoo, it's a shame I couldn't have mustered up the odd £7.99 to make it less than £20k. :D

    Off now to catch up with how everyone else is doing.
