    Thanks Crown. I've been editing it regularly as my main motivation, altho' I had to cut it down a few months ago when asked, by the board guides, I think.

    OK well, if I want my gear I'm gonna have to raise the money now because I've just made a £400 payment to my Capital One card.

    And do you know what? I actually feel ashamed at admitting this! :rotfl:

    It felt better than buying all that stuff I did today! :D

    Go SS!

    It must be getting hard not to spend the "extra" money you've freed up by paying off your debts.

    PS I find that there is a direct correlation between posting on here and not spending money so keep posting!

    Well I've spent nowt today which is much needed. :rolleyes:

    Loan payment of £371.57 comes out tomorrow.

    Once my overpayment has cleared I'll be close to being sub £19k!

    On my most up to date Snowball I shouldn't be at this stage until August so am a few months ahead. Just got to keep it going! :undecided
