Yay! So glad to read you managed to get the CC paid. Well done, that is one down. I agree with others whilst you are able to try get the other paid off I think it helps give you a little boost to see a debt disappear. You are doing so well1

Maybe Fluid or Barclaycard next! I'll see what I can change in my budget to try and pay either one of those off next month! Maybe sell some things! Thanks for the support
Edit: Might try and pay Marbles at the end of the month if I can!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe boards and spending & discounts boards.
