    It'll be gone before you know it. :) Is it £50 or £90 that's outstanding now?

    Its £50 :o I sent the £40 this morning once Nationwide was back up.

    Going to send the £12.50

    £37.50 left :eek:

    Realised I hadn't changed it on my last post as I hadn't changed it on my spreadsheet because Nationwide was down last night when I posted so couldn't send straight across. I sent first thing but didn't put it on the spreadsheet

    I know how I felt when my cards were finally paid and (almost) gone, waiting for the last bit of interest was the only time I was willing the statements to arrive as I knew that there would be enough to pay it and it would be a lot less than I had been paying to clear them :D:D
