    Absolutely. Even though its only February the winter seems to be really dragging this year. It seemed a little warmer when I went out earlier though.

    It's definitely been colder this year, last year was really mild in comparison. Pfft! The sooner it warms up the sooner we have extra cash to save towards the debt :D

    Hi all, I have been doing ok and managed to pay £240 off my uni course fees, this means I will only have one more payment to make at the beginning of March!! Also paid £200 off the credit cards. Going to do a bit of shifting of debt and get a few hundred pounds moved off the expensive credit card onto our 0% interest one, so should save us a bit of interest. Also realised we are paying PPI cover on one of the credit cards :eek: which is a bit of a shock as e have had that card over 10 years! I know I am a bit late to realise this after all the talk of PPI claims etc over the last few years, but I will be contacting the bank later and have filled in the PPI form to complain about it. It will probably come to nothing but at least cancelling it will save us about £100 a year. Also paid dad £150 towards the money he lent us to buy the car. So I have paid off £590 :T
