I just wanted to post cos I've just paid the penultimate chunk of my credit card debt, so now I have just £443 more to pay in June - and that's it!!!! 
I've had a credit card since I was 18 and as my self-motivating slogan is "debt-free by 43" those of you who are better at maths than me will work out in a flash that I've had the burden for 25 years - that's like a mortgage!
if I can do it, you can too. good luck to everyone trying to pay it all off!
