Hi all :beer: (I wish)
Well thought I would just find out how far I've got with my DFW mission since joining the site in March and in six months I've managed to clear nearly £2K off my credit cards. I'm still trying to work out whether this is good or bad or whether I'm pleased or disappointed
Just off to find the snowball calculator to see when by DFD should be and will add it to my signature. Perhaps then, I'll feel more positive.
Sorry for the ramble - just wanted to see it in back and white.

Well £2k in 5 months sounds good to me - well done.Debt at highest: £6,290.72 (14.2.1999)
Debt free success date: 14.8.2006 :j0 -
Well look at it this way. If you hadn't started to make the changes you have you could have added another £2,000 to your debts which means you'd be £4,000 worse off right now!
£2,000 is excellent. Well done. Give yourself a pat on the back, you deserve it! :beer:0 -

That sounds like incredible progress to me! You should be proud
If it helps to motivate you, work out your minimum payments, and how much you've over-paid, and see how much you've shaved off your debt free date. I bet you'll be happy!DFW Nerd No. 140
