    Glad to hear your woofer has survived - I take it you need to keep an eye on him now just in case ?

    and a big WELL DONE on nearly paying off £20k - that works out at £10k per year since you started. Im sure you will be debt free by the end of next year at that rate :T

    Just a quick one to say I've just made a payment of £274.16 to Morgan Stanley which when cleared will have paid that card off! :T

    I was gonna wait until later in the month but thought sod it. That way I can't spend it on anything else. :)

    Next up is my £200 A&L overdraft which is 0% at the moment but runs out soon. I've got to do my sums but I'll be pretty disappointed if I can't pay that off aswell this month, especially as I've pulled my finger out with matched betting again.

    Should take my debt repayments up to about £1,100 this month which is pucker! :D

    Blimey ss! Thats fantastic! Well done you. I'm just in the middle of trying to open an A&L account so I can start to bingo and matched bet and whatnot, and hearing things like this, I'm *really* encouraged! Thanks!
