  • Hi everyone, I'm new to MSE but wanted to say hello!

    I am trying to clear a student overdraft which was £1600, but am down to owing only £600 after putting my Christmas bonus into it .

    I've also recently managed to clear my credit card, which was £500 and the balance is now £0!

    Really looking forward to being debt free in 2013 and starting to save for a home deposit :)
