Well done on the first payments - it's never too small an amount, it all countsI've paid pennies to my credit cards before, hopefully it annoys them
and it all adds up in the end.

£24 today so now sitting at £ 2,892.95/£10,000. I think I might have been a bit overenthusiastic when I set my goal :rotfl:but hey ho I'm doing my best and you never know I might get a wee windfall. Snowball predicts another £4k by end of year but if I manage to squeeze £5k through then I will be under £10k. Exciting stuff
