    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Keep up the good work.
    by not spending on your cards you are taking control,and your £100 savings are worth more.If you had spent on your cards it would have eaten into that amount.
    Once you see the amounts coming down it gets addictive.

    Well done. The best feeling for me when I stopped using the credit cards, was going Christmas shopping last year with cash. That was a brilliant feeling!
