Feeling very proud of myself!

Hi,
I have just paid off the second of my 3 credit cards and am feeling very virtuous! I am going on holiday on Monday and have also saved and paid cash for this and saved the spending money and changed it into Euros as soon as I had enough to stop me dipping onto it!
This is the first time ever I haven't just put a holiday on a card and hoped for the best! Hopefully I'll enjoy it all the more without worrying about how I'll pay for it later!
Just one more CC to go and I'll be starting on the loans!
Have a fab day
Good luck England (that shows how much of a good mood I'm in because I'm very patriotically Welsh!!!)
R xx

    Well done!
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.
  • Good news! Well done. Good idea about changing the pounds to Euros as well.
    My sig's too large, apparently - so apologies to whoever's space I was taking up.:lipsrseal

    Well done RachelMK :T :T :T !! You probably will enjoy your hol even more as you wont be worrying about paying it off when you get back!!

    I put a holiday in 2001 on my CC - I expect I was paying it off until I become debt free - on a Barclaycard too - so 18.9%!! :rolleyes:

    Have a fab time & give yourself a big pat on the back!! xx

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
