Well after a couple of not so good DFW months, for reasons beyond my control (household items packing up, kids school trips etc...) I've finally paid the last £100 off my Very Account 
I had until the middle of March to pay off interest free and was getting genuinely concerned about making the payment.
I started a new full time job at the beginning of Feb (only temporary maternity cover) and today I got the first pay £600 more a mth than I was on! I've created a new spreadsheet to show how to use the extra payments on the highest interest debts. First thing this morning I went to online banking and paid those immediately, it was rather depressing seeing my balance decrease so quickly but at least I owe less
