    Number 129 reporting in with a small payment to the cards of £175. I've decided to prioritise building my savings this year, and so have been diverting more money that way. Did a bit of budgeting last night and I can trickle the remaining debt down at £175 a month and have it all done by the end of the year. I'll probably clear it all off in one lump sum towards autumn time when it gets to £500 or so. Have setup two direct debits to the two cards that I owe on and will now just forget about it :-)

    Number 129 - £175 bringing total down to £1,451.91
