Yay!

Well, I have CLEARED my Egg credit card!!!! Over the moon to finally feel like I am getting somewhere with this. It felt so good to email them and ask them to close my account!!

Next target is to clear my HBOS card by the end of the year and then tackle the last one (which I will hopefully be able to balance transfer at the end of the year)

Just wanted to share (and show off my new sig!:D)

    Hi Jennykins,

    Well done and now you can concentrate on the next card. It's good to get one paid off at a time, as it makes you feel you are achieving something.
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.
