Not much ... but it means a lot for me!

For the first time or god knows how many yeaars I've started to reduce my overdraft.
I'm usually up to about £1,400 ish of the £1,500 limit each month. I've got it down to £889 overdrawn today, and I get paid tomorrow. Meaningly I'll be another £200 closer to zero tomorrow. It may not seem a lot, but it's the first time I've ever seen light at the end of the tunnel.
Once this is back to zero, I can then start on the £10k on my credit cards.

Overdrafts so easily slip into "invisible debt" don't they? It's so easy not to count them if you go into the black each payday......0 -
