    Well I finally paid off another credit card but unfortunately with needing 2 tyres, the dog needing an operation and few other things, one of the other empty ones now has a balance :-/ however, this will be shifted to 0% in a weeks time as have an offer on the other one, so not all doom and gloom!! Will post updated balances later when I have shifted everything around!
