    Thanks. Yep, a nice little victory!
  • Well done everyone. I think I missed an extra payment last week as I've been skint, but I've been paid today and got my overtime, so I've paid £100 extra to my CC's this month. (£50 to each as they both have the same interest rate).
    It's lovely to see the balances going down!
