    Morning!

    Kirtsypoos definitely look at it again! I found MSE forums unhelpful (sorry Martin Lewis) as the forums seem full of experienced people with little patience. There's a site with the initials PA that is more helpful!

    Welcome Fendi-bag-lady! Do stay with us - it makes such a difference. I paid a fair bit off last year, then strayed away during which time I only increased the debt again. Came back and have already paid a good amount that I know would have disappeared on random purchases had this thread not existed. A pound a day or a thousand pound a day - everything helps.

    Gone for a Next payment today - bad interest charger!!

    £74 - more than I had planned but some backdated tax credits have arrived so taking advantage!

    Sunshine would that be PA with the monthly membership fee? if so, is it worth it (apart from cheltenham week etc) - Sorry I'm picking your brains on here - feel free to PM me if you don't mind :)
