:money: how much debt did you have on the cards0

At its worst, about £6000 (incl. two second-hand cars). I know it's small, but in the past we've also been through a Trust Deed to clear £35000. So we've finally learnt our lesson and we're celebrating - on leftover Xmas cava!:heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls

6000 is enough debt. We have just taken out a loan to get rid of the thump of the credit card bills landing on the door mat every week0 -
