    HI Hypno, Just wanted to say well done again and keep it going albeit not so manically! (is that a word - it is now!) I get so focused on money sometimes that it's all I talk about with my dh and have to remember that it shouldn't control our lives, enjoy your break and look after yourself.

    I have to admit, i became so obsessed with clicks, surveys etc at one point. then i thought why dont i do an extra shift at work. that took loads less time and was much more profitable. I think it can be so easy to become fixated on little things that we forgette bigger things that canmake a difference, like sweing on that button so we dont spend x ammount on new trousers! which i have to admit i am guilty of.

    Hi shaun :wave: I am sure you will all have a fab time!

    I have just paid off the HSBC card - it was just too tempting, seeing the balance on the snowball calculator soooo near to zero! So I have "borrowed" it from the emergency fund.......s*ds law says my boiler will blow up tomorrow now!!!

    But, another one has gone! Now just the 5 loans to go :D
