well folks, couple of goodies today!
firstly i paid money of my cc which takes me less than £1000 on one of them, not much but it's a digit less!
secondly i cancelled all my store cards and cut them up, i've been really good about not using them, but i suppose it's a little less temptation.
thirdly, and the best in my book, i was at the docs this avo and she weighed me and i was nearly half a stone less than the gym scales said this mornin! shall be pointing that out to my personal trainer next time i see her! and quite probably spoiling myself with summit nice cause that leaves me with only 6lbs to go!:j

Great news! I can empathise as I had a splurge on cutting up cards a few weeks ago...it's such a cleansing feeling!
Also, again not long ago, I got a credit car sub £1k and it's such a milestone. Keep up the good work! Your debts will come tumbling down before your very eyes if you stay focussed.Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
