    I'm debating that - but want to get to the end of the month without going into my overdraft for the first time in months, so I'm not paying anything else at this stage just in case I leave myself short (plus it'll go below the £14k point next month anyway).

    That makes sense, one debt fully cleared is always a good one (and I guess you are throwing any extra cash at the 16% debt?)

    All sorted now, and doesn't look quite as good as it did, but still heading in the right direction.:)

    And that's the best thing of all.

    i am so with you on the getting emotional at work or having a bad day and then hitting the cards to try and spend yourself happy. I'm still struggling with that one but facing it each day at a time.

    Morning...long time no see. What inspiring words you have summoned to help us all, and crystalize your own intentions on post No. 254! I wonder if that helped with the no spend after the work upset?

    You keep inspiring me lady! Thank you.:A
