Thank you, but I feel kind of stuck in a rut at the moment.

How come?x

Not sure, just feels like one step forward and three back. Probably just a phase.

I think you have done well and seem a lot focused and have goals x

I feel like that a lot too Purplemum. Mostly on every day other than those I'm making payments/ progress.

For me it's impatience.

Hope the feeling passes soon.

Do you have a milestone to look forward to? Next thing to be paid off or to go into the next debt bracket etc? Might help with your feelings towards it?

I have enough between the CC overpayment pot and the EF that I can clear the Cap One card now, but that would leave the EF brassic.

I could then come February pay day -

Pay £250 off the MBNA, or £200 if I have cleared the £50 target I set myself.
Pay £100 off the Lloyds, as per normal

I would be so tempted to clear the Cap One card. Are you going to close it down once it's cleared?

I feel for you with the school uniform :eek:. I'm so glad that mine have left school!

Good luck with the six year job in Oxford .

No DH wants to keep it open for emergencies. I've hidden the others.

Thanks, will need to ring the agency tomorrow to see if the company wants to see me.

Maybe the 'in a rut feeling' is because you are so close to clearing that card? Would it feel better to pay off a bit now and then clear it in February? So you can see a move in the numbers?
