    Congratulations. I have just switched my credit card balance to a 0% BOS credit card (No transfer fee!) My aim is to pay off by the end of 0% period - April 2007. You've certainly inspired me!!

    I was in debt over £3500 in Feb and have paid off over £1500 so far. TIP I find that paying off little and often did not work for me as I also spend little and often as well. Everytime I have some money spare I put it into an account until it builds up to around £500 and then pay £500 off the credit card in one go. Psychologically this works for me. However this can only be done on credit cards during the 0% promotion period.

    Yeah Yeah I know the best advice would be not to spend and to cut up my credit card but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!!
