    Today was a great day for me...

    I stockpiled all my savings and decided to pay off my remaining credit card... Am feeling a bit wobbly as emotionally I felt a little more secure having cash in the bank 'just in case'... I had to use the last of the money left to me by my Nan when she died... so thanks Nan for helping me get back on my feet...

    However - I now still have my credit card (£500 limit) for absolute emergencies, which means I do have some security until I can top up my Emergency Fund again. Once I reach £500 I will cut up the card and close the account. At least Capital One are not charging me 23% interest anymore!!! My remaining debts are all 0% interest, so clearing this one takes the pressure off a little. Am going to padlock the card away somewhere safe, or freeze it in a lump of ice!!!

    So - assuming I don't put anything back on the card, I have achieved my target!!!

    £850/£850 paid!!!

    I will do a final check in nearer the time - just to be sure it has stayed at that!!!

    Keep up the fantastic work everyone!!! You're all doing amazing work!!!

    Just checking in here!
    My DH has been an angel and paid another €500 off my CC Bill. Hoping to match it on Thursday, and now expecting to exceed the target I set myself. Delighted, as it is so crucial I get this €2600 cleared off the CC asap! :):)
    Hope you are all doing well!
