  • Right I have paid £7 this week off of a credit card that i normally only pay the minimum i know its not much but hopefully i will be able to do this amount or more each week and over a year i will have reduced my balance by at least £350, i feel so good about this i have been telling everybody to do it as well 2012 is my year to get things on track.
    :T Total paid to date is £53.01:T.
    £5.00 + £53.01= 58.01 lets hope I can keep this up.
