    Well done Pedro, cleared a nice amount off there!

    I'll be posting tomorrow (hopefully) with an amount that should put me as a clear leader between you, me and mf0u1098.

    Let the games commence :)

    Really sorry everyone I've been in bed ill all day =(

    Anyway, this weeks task is:

    Take 15mins for yourself, sit down, do nothing.

    I think in all the madness of xmas this is especially important, even you Jakes-mum :p

    Not debt busting today, but I have been paid early. Waiting for my statements to come through now so I can pay something more off :)

    OH has been amazing these past two days, putting up curtains, moving my bedroom furniture around, and entertaining my friends last night. Unfortunately I've been full of the cold and have a chest infection so been off work and pretty laid up. Thanks for all the messages about getting better soon.

    Ooh and I won a comp today, Rango blu-ray is in the post :D

    I wish, chance would be a nice thing!

    Got a payout from Satander (not a typo ;)) after a complaint I put in.

    I don't gloat mate - I just feed the fire with competitive encouragement :D

    Nice one, Santander seem to be dishing out the cash at the moment. All the better for those who can claim it! Well done mate.
