    Well done - that's a great payment - no more massive interest to them!

    First Direct gave me an o/d straight away but alas those were in happier days when I was a student and they wanted my debt!

    However I think they offer to match what you have! No harm in asking!

    Well, thank goodness for that! I was beginning to worry about the lack of future generations, as male members of society lost their working parts......

    Hopefully, this will be the start of all things good, and the snowball can start to roll :D

    :j In a nice cheery mood now. OH has popped out to celebrate his balls remaining inflated :D

    Just feels nice to pay some of the bills. The bonus has allowed me to:-
      Clear Next :j Pay the balance of the holiday Pay the car repair bill Tax both cars Roof fixed Chimney swept Money for Kids's birthday party Slate kind of wiped clean
    :j:j

    Just seeing the figures finally come down on my sig is a big boost as well. I was very alarmed by the interest on the cards and I do need to address the interest rates but need to shift and clear at least one to do that so onwards and upwards :D
