  • Congratulations Determined Diva. That must be a great feeling, especially in December which is always a hard month spendy wise!!!

    I have managed to get rid of 3 overdrafts in the last 3 months so am now OD free and managed to smash my target of getting my CC to £3000 before Xmas, as am now down to £2700.

    Such a great feeling isn't it, to know you're are taking off your debts at Xmas and not adding to them as usual!!!

    Have a great MSE Xmas everyone and a thrifty New Year!! xxxxx
