  • Dreamdreamer - just to check - should it be £4352? I'll pop that in now, but let me know if it is wrong.

    You're right! The moral of the story is don't try and add when you're on nights - jelly for brains!

    Have managed to pay another £60 towards my loan today. It's amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it - even my OH is getting involved.:j

    Right, done the balance transfer, so now only three cards to juggle - though one is much heftier than it was before! Still, frees up the Virgin card which always offers good deals for future balance transfers.

    Erm, there's a reason why I keep asking people to check their figures - jelly for brains is a regular occurence for me too :o

    It's very true allie, it can be surprising how much you can raise, glad your OH is involved too!

    Great news on the balance transfer, I much prefer having fewer payments each month.
