    Hi All

    I used to come on MSE forums all the time in 2006 to 2008 and then have only looked a periodically and mainly on the main MSE site to be honest.

    I always loved following EHALLET (Emily's) posts but I can't see how she is doing on anything recent - if you are reading this how are you going?

    I've recently been a bit daft and built up £600 on an 'interest free for 6 months' credit card which I need to chip away at it to make sure I don't pay any interest before that starts next May! So i'm looking on here for some idea's to make some extra dosh to pay this off!

    Cheers

    Hi All

    £3557.21/£6500.00 54% paid

    I now only have 5 payments left to make and my balance is under £1k from £10800! :j I might try getting my PPI back again too!

    Also, I finished paying for my car this month too :j It wasn't included in my target for this year but wanted to share it with you. Been paying it for 4 years and am now £135 better off a month! :j

    Just worked out that this year so far including my car payments I have paid off £5141.00, which is rather sickening! What I could have done with that money! The lesson is further ingrained in my head!

    No 13 here.

    I don't seem to post on here as often as I did and that's because I have less debt than I did :j

    I've just completed some CC shuffling to reduce the interest so hoping to reduce much quicker next year.

    Well I have made an OP of £50.53 taking my running total to £3375.33/£6000

    Have a great MSE weekend :)
