    Just to say welcome TJ - You appear to be paying off your debt at a very respectable rate. :beer:

    Hello!

    Welcome aboard the Good ship MSE!

    Well done reducing your debts !
    Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?

    I think you're paying off your debts at a very impressive rate and you've done well to get 0% and a low rate from the bank.

    Well done and you'll be debt free before you know it with a lovely salary (which no doubt will go up between now & then) to enjoy.

    Well done on the debt repayments. I agree that £13.00 a day is a lot to spend though! I wish!

    Anyway keep us posted on how you do x
