    I heard back about my complaint. They gave me £100 to cover the confusion about the balance transfer fee and as a gesture of goodwill. :j:j:j:j It's already been credited to my card account. :T:T:T:T I'm very pleased!!

    A couple of weeks have passed and I've not updated on here. There's nothing much to report except that minimum payments are being made as planned and I seem to be spending a fortune at the dentist getting old fillings fixed.

    Me and OH will be away for a couple of days this weekend, all expenses paid gift by future sister in law, so I'm looking forward to that.

    I'll away and figure out the debt total and update my signature.

    I need to phone up HSBC because I've been locked out of my online banking by putting the incorrect info in too many times. :mad: When things like this happen, I long for the day when I don't have so many accounts to check. It can't come soon enough.

    The debt busting has become so slow lately that I fear it might just stop. It can't, I need to keep going, but maintaining momentum is hard right now.

    I have just had a massive mobile phone bill for no reason I can figure out so need to phone them up too.

    I am waiting for a tax rebate I might be due. I'm still trying to sell my expensive thing. I have much better control of the food budget than I ever had before. Things are moving in the right direction in that the debt is going down but none of it is happening fast enough.

    Impatient as anything.

  • Stay strong. You are so close to halfway. After that, it builds momentum.
