  • #180 here with my target now reached!
    £25 min payment by DD in November and today I cleared the final £966.10 off the MBNA card


    im not debt free yet, but my target this year was to clear the MBNA card before the 0% rate finished on 21st December instead of incurring more BT fees. Such a relief to get it out of the way, now I can concentrate on enjoying Christmas (within my budget of course!)
