    Hi folks. Thought I'd post a monthly update this year. Last payment for Jan has now gone out including an overpayment of £400 to Bcard. Next month should see the bank of one of my small loans, so after that I'll have an extra £100 a month to put to Bcard, which will be gone in 5 months.

    Total for Jan is £1137.02/£14000
