    Time for an update guys:

    Got a KB from Cap One for the PPI, yet again, apparently I filled it in myself on-line, ah well :(

    Had about £1300 of big bills this month, car insurance and much needed dental work, so only £100 less on the debt.

    But, it is still a tiny fraction compared to what it was this time last year.

    Have also wised up a bit in using my credit card.

    We now use it for all shopping, bills not covered by DD's, and diesel.

    When we come home, I pay off what we just used, but doing it this way gives us rewards and free vouchers for Waitrose and john Lewis :)

    I now have some annual leave and will be travelling around seeing old friends and family (one of the reasons I didn't pay more towards the debt, kept some money back for good times :) ).

    So, life is still looking up, I think I'm still on track for my original guesstimate of early new year for my dfd :D

    Once again, thank you for your help and support guys :T
    Life is now good :)
