Sorry for the late reply, work has been super busy so not been able to get on much! Debt busting just plodding along, I'm almost a third of the way through my total debt but the emergency/home improvements fund is now a big fat zero due to having to pay for the boiler and the door. Still, I'm proud that I've been able to pay for them out of savings rather than having to resort to credit. How are things with you?Tesco CC - £269.00.00/£750
