    How often do you update your signature, WooWoo?

    and have you been this 'fast and furious' since LBM? I get exhausted keeping up with you ! AND you should put the cards that are no more on your signature, its snuch a great achievement.

    No cards are still quite a long way off yet unfortunately, I have the massive Lloyds one and after that I still have the Barclay Platinum - approx £2300 on it, luckily it's life of the balance 6.9%.

    I don't know what happened, once that light came on I just became utterly focused and I have to get rid of it all as soon as humanly possible. I just need to be free I think.

    Awesome work Woowoo. I'm soooo looking forward to having my Barclaycard moment with Virgin.

    VC So why are you choosing to close your account
    TF Because you're gits!!

    Damn it though, I don't get to do that to them because I opted out of the 'pay double the interest thing' so my account automatically closes as soon as the balance is paid off (ie as soon as humanly possible). D'oh! I do hope they send me some kind of satisfaction survey.

    Just updated my signature I am now only £15.46 off £15,500 - I will find this before next pay day.

    When I originally started my goal was to reach £16,000 by July 2010 - so am quite pleased with my progress.

    I walked into work again today, what a beautiful morning with the sun shining for a change.

    I put £15 fuel in last night and I shouldn't have to drive the car again until Wednesday now, which means I have a spare £5 to send to Lloyds.

    Only £10.46 now to find before the end of April.

    i had fun and games when i tried to close my barclaycard a couple of years ago, in the end it turned out they turned it into a dormant account rather than closed it so i had to ring back again and insist.
