Paid off first debt!

Feeling quite happy that have managed to pay off my first debt - Next storecard! It was only £378 but managed to get it paid off over September/October. Managed to ebay some stuff which helped to get it paid off quicker.
Now going to concentrate on paying off CC1 balance around £867. Think progress with this one will be slower as got christmas shopping to do although will not be spending too much!
Still waiting to hear if our remortgage application with Nationwide is going to go through. Valuation took place yesterday. Feeling very nervous about it.

Well done. It's a nice feeling isn't it? It was the next one that I managed to pay off first as well, though it was only £61.Starting a new debt free journeyStarting Debt: £5,250Current Debt: £4,995.50Amount Paid: £254.50 Percentage Paid: 4.84%Emergency Fund: £3500

I have found that the less I spend on Christmas presents, the more appreciation I get! Charity shops, LIDL and ALDI have come up with ideal items. I also had some unused stuff at home that I decided to give as presents instead of donating.Who having known the diamond will concern himself with glass?
