    Thanks everyone. I feel like a bit of a cheat as I knew I'd be getting the extra money this month to make this payment!

    Could you do a bt to a 0% card? This may help you to reduce your debt quicker. Natwest and Santander have a long bt for 15 months.

    I agree with Stranec, you are not a cheat... You are infact disaplined and determind to get debt free. This challenge includes all overpayments to your debt be it 20p, £20 or £2k :rotfl:

    £4.81 for me today :j

    Indeed!! You could have bought a whole new wardrobe, or even a car, but you chose to be sensible and put it to the debts! Well done!!!
