    Yay,

    I was able to pay £1000 off one of my credit cards. Am still at more than I was when I had my lightbulb moment in May but at least it is starting to come off again. I can breath a sigh of relief!

    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.

    Have cleared my debt :):) Have been having a frantic time ebaying everything that wasn't nailed down! Looking a bit sparse now but at least I'm not having to worry anymore

    True, it feels like it is now after a turbulent month. Am determined it will continue to go down now instead of creeping back up!

    So are you going to do anything nice with your extra money now you are debt free?

    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.

    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!
