Since the begining of Febtuary I have paid £1141.16 off my debt, made up of minimum repayments, money I had in a saving account that would not give me £27.00 interest every month, that the interest I have paid to Next this month, Quidco money, money left over from my current account when all the DD's have been paid,feeling very pleased.:j Normally the extra money would have been spent and I wouldn't have been able to say what I had spent it on, feels good to be in control. Paying bills is now making me smile.0

Hi Looby,
Hi and welcome to the forum. My debt / lifestyle diary is on here too ( McDiary - I'm loving it! ) and I'm finding it very helpful to keep me on the straight and narrow. I started it for much the same reason as you, I'm 40 in May....:eek:
Anyway, just wanted to wish you luck from someone just over the bridge from you...:D

Have tried raising a ticket but can't do anything until the 13th so I'll get it sorted by the end of the week.
How are things going with you? Is the determination still there with you?0
