    Good luck with this! Seems you are screwed on with this! Also quite good to see your not totally obsessed with this and are still having a life and buying stuff along with debt busting!
    Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

    Thanks rictus123.

    Right then, got paid today, so I've just paid £17.23 off the credit card and put £150 towards the computer.

    May have a buyer for my computer, will be letting me know tomorrow, so hopefully that wil be another £40 to the computer.

    Have found out how much I need to pay for the computer now, £629 by the 12th Feb or another £187 gets added on in interest.

    I'd got £210 towards it, and just added another £9 to round it down, so £410 to find by the beginning of Feb. Should be doable.

    Hmmm, when I said in an earlier post I'd added £206 to my credit to pay for a carpet. I'd not actually put it on the credit card but I added it to my total as I knew it was coming up in the next couple of weeks.

    I'm going to use £200 out of what I had for the computer to pay for the carpet, and then I'll have to find £610 by the beginning of Feb. If it comes to the push I'll have to use savings to pay for the computer as I'm not getting £187 added to it.

    I'll adjust my signature now.
