Those credit cards are paid off and closed down - a good result there. The £12 extra payment I made covered the interest and they refunded me 28p back and all is completed.
This challenge really helped me get payments on track over the last year so a big thank you for running it - good luck everyone!

Just a wee £2.60 for me today as half term starts today, and with the weather being as wet as it is here I might need an 'entertainment budget'!! If I manage to keep it small I will pay more off next week.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Lucky we must stop meeting like this! However small the amount it's still something and small amounts add up.
