    Can you tell us how you managed to clear so much in a short period of time? We'd love to know. Especially if you have any useful tips.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Well done you. I can't wait to be in the same position. You really are very lucky to have learnt this lesson so early in life (I'm only a few years older at 24 but wished I had nipped it in the bud earlier).

    Congratulations.

    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    Masel tov! You won't get it into the same trouble again as you just learned a valuable lesson from experience.

    There's a nice quote from somewhere that says experience is the hardest teacher because it gives you the test first and the lesson second.

    I think with your attitude, you are going to be minted.
