    Thanks all! I am not sure about the inspiration part but it is very kind of you to say so :)

    Job done1 - I would love to but the rest of the £10k (approx. £1400) needs to go in joint account with OH's wages at end of June to cover the bills as I won't see any money from my new job until end of July.

    I'm just glad to have enough to pay MBNA off as turns out...wait for it... I got the apr wrong and it's actually a wopping 34.9% :eek: When I originally took the card out it was 0% and 19% but having a large balance on it they have ramped it up. Cheeky so and so's.
