Only started debt-busting since September, so only a smaller figure to add to the total, but every little helps!

Mine's reduced from £3100 to about £1200
So in theory you could say I've paid off about £1900, but because it's interest free (until July) I've also saved £900 in to my a/c and paid off the full balance (on time and in full) of £600 for a very special trip to New York next month with Mrs Sam_In_Leeds.
So in theory, I guess I've paid off in excess of £3k!!!!I spent 90% of my money on women, drink and fast cars. The rest I wasted. ...
