Good Morning,

Just a quick one as I can't really tell anyone else at the moment. But I have just paid off my credit card £235 paid today!!!!

I think i'm going to be a hermit until next payday but its worth it time to start saving for getting on a jet plane in dec and flying away on an RTW trip :rotfl:

I hope you all have a lovely day in the sunshine :beer:

    Well my current plan is to fly to Thailand and then take it from there, I'm pretty chilled and relaxed about places, I'm going to do my working hol visa in New Zealand and I have friends in Bangkok, Australia and NZ.

    Thanks to the lovely forum has helped my pull my head out of the sand, kicking myself up the backside and get on with paying it off as I had just been coasting along playing just above the min each month. 9 months ago I had over £750 to pay (I'm in a low paid job)

    So Thank you to all of you!!!!!
