    In january I stuck my Dec bonus (no not one of the big ones but enough) onto my credit card (to pay some off and to cover xmas) and £400 off my loan too.

    So if you add that together with the normal payments I paid a whopping £1500 off :D

    I had a good month sadly the new interest adding on negates the payments a bit but in total I am:

    £250 paid off to Scottish Power
    £60 to cahoot
    £450 to my parents (cleared!:j )
    £100 to HBOS Visa
    and.... £1850 to egg by making a payment and cancelling my PPI!:j

    sooo £2710 for me - that sounds like a damn miracle.
