    Morning all!

    Not been on here for a while but I'm just sticking my head around the door to say I've just paid another £354 to my debts. This means I've got rid of another debt leaving me with just one left and I'm now owing just exactly £1000!

    I really couldn't have done this without this thread and all you lovely people! Thank you all! Especially to Muppets!

    Hi folks, well done all for your progress already this year. It is very inspiring. :)
    I have bitten the bullet and have been accepted for a personal loan with PO to consolidate my 2 remaining credit cards. I didn't manage to get the advertised 3.9% but did get 11% over 4 years. The monthly payments are less than what i am paying now, and i am able to overpay if i have money spare, so i am really happy that at the end of the 4 years it will be gone. I was really hoping i could somehow pay it off sooner but life expenses just kept getting in the way.

    I will update my signature shortly to reflect the new debt total.

    Thanks guys x
