    Hi there, I have stumbled across this thread and think this is a brilliant idea and just the kick I need to get me motivated. I have "tidied up" by bank account this morning and sent £15.95 to nationwide so hope this is the first of many extra payments. Well done everyone !

    Congratulations, and welcome! Still loving how well we're all getting along.

    No bus to work at all this week, so £4.55 saved and taken off the Virgin credit card! :D

  • This might not be the right place to put this, but its the only thread I subscribe to and I needed to tell someone...........feeling pretty chuffed as I've just managed to switch to a 0% balance transfer CC for 22 months. This will mean my debt will be repaid 6 months earlier than anticipated!!! :-)
