Thanks Hypno,
It's only cos OH got paid and his contract is due to finish on Friday, so one more payment like that and then it will be in dribs and drabs unless the contract is extended.
It is just good to get it off the debts though. Well done on the £50, you are great for making regular payments.Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

Morning everyone. Got back from my hols yesterday and have just managed to catch up with the three.
Welcome to all the newbies, I have added you to the list.
Well done to Hypno and Novagirl for clearing your debts :T
I am stepping up a gear on mine now otherwise it will never be gone, I need to pay £8 off it a day to clear it by Xmas so thats the plan.
Need to seriously up the anti and get some cash coming in. So will be ebaying everything that isn't nailed down over the next couple of months.Proud to be dealing with my debts - DFW No: 712

you can do it doodledo - you know you can!
I paid off another £100 yesterday to HSBC after seeing some clients, so the balance there now stands at £6034. It will be nice to see it under £6000 sometime soon!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes.
