Keep it if you don't have any outstanding payments to make, otherwise get rid of it and just add it up on paper - doesn't make much difference really.
Well done :TDFW Nerd no. 496 - Proud to be dealing with my debts!!0 -

Id get down the bank and pay it off one of your pesky cards:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
If you have high interest savings put it in there! Add to it without doing anything! :T0

Hello :hello:
Wondered if I could join in with this one as well as my own 6 month challenge that's going on.
I've got to pay a bill that's racked up to about £1125.00 so to try my hardest to get this challenge would be good.
I'm working my little socks off this weekend on AQA work and I'm in the process of getting a pub job and selling things on Ebay so we'll see how I go. Fingers crossed.0
