Two debts PAID!

We had a credit card, £350. It was a 0% transfer deal, so we transfered the balance from our (evil) House of Fraser card. It wasn't a large amount, but every single month some random bill would pop up so we could only make minimum payments for ages. But we finally paid it off.


And.. We had a huge nightmare getting any bills from British Gas, but we finally did and that little debt is paid off too! That was about £200 for our gas and electric account from when we were with them a while back.

So far we got three debts down, three to go!

    If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.
