    Hi all,

    Hope everyone is keeping well! Have some good news. OH has been offered some part time work for 8 weeks. It averages out at £140 per week so that will be a great help. He enquired about his JSA and they are sending a fax to get it put through so hopefully it should arrive into the account on Monday. We are also waiting to hear about his tax back and I need to bank the tenants rent so I am hoping to clear the Virgin credit card by the end of August :)

    Then just 2 more credit cards left!

    Good news CMD! Can't wait till pay day on the 15th, well, will get money on the Friday to bank account. Have to wait till 21st though for the minimum payment to go out on Virgin cc for it to be clear! :)

    Also all 3 items I've listed on ebay have watchers and one is up to £13 already. Very pleased.
