Waiting for the Postman!

Hi, as the title says, I am waiting in anticipation for the Postman to bring me my credit card statement. By working really hard and padding I have managed to get this bain of my life down from 3898 pounds in May to 1700 ish now :). I now look forward to getting my statements through the letterbox to show me how much closer I am to getting rid of this debt. Anyone else the same as me?!

    Nope, I got addicted to online banking ages ago. Log on every week and take a note of all the balances. Saves waiting for post.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
  • i am pretty much wishing my life away, wanting each payday to come quicker and quicker so i can see how much i can chuck at my debt (i get paid different each month) and see the balance reduce. not happening fast enough!
  • I'm an online banker too. Means you can check every day (good thing) but getting a bit frustrated on the days when nothing changes (bad thing) - poor spreadsheet gets 'looked at' far more often than updated!
  • No I am an online banking fanatic. I have one card that I get paper statements from but otherwise its on line all the way for me.
