  • Well done on the card being gone. Holiday planning making memories is most definitely worthwhile. 

    Enjoy your weekend.

    Congratulations on clearing that one. DH and I had one each of MBNA with a cash advance on each to the tune of £27k at one point. Long gone now but such a relief to clear them

  • Great news that the CC is gone and enjoy your holidays they are well deserved xx
  • Racing in late as usual!

    But a terrific well done in hammering that card brizzle!  That's a big frog squashed, 🐸.  And it sounds like it won't be too long before the next card will soon be dead in the water too!

    Great news!😇
