    Hi All :hello:

    Haven't posted on this thread for a while but I am still going at the debt - got over the £1k mark the other day which I think was due to this months loan payment and £1.57 from Quidco :D Can't believe i'm over £1k actually!
    Had a trial shift for a second job last night (those of you on the daily small things thread may have read this), it went ok and just waiting to hear if I am going to be taken on. If I am, it's alot more likely I could get to my target by then end of the year, so please all cross your fingers and toes for me :D

    I have a payment of £140 going to Tesco on Monday and that takes me to total paid for the challenge of over £8k! I can't believe it - this thread is inspiring me to keep on track, so thanks to all of you.

    Have a good weekend all! x
