Ive paid quite a bit of my wages on my bills this month and finally paid half of the o2 bill. Had an interview this week and am just waiting to see if i get it or not. Got my JSA interview monday so will have a small amount of money there to pay off credit cards.3rd Light Bulb Moment 31/12/08Current debt

That is a pretty impressive dent you have made in a relatively short period of time.
