    Hmmm, I was having such a good day. I had managed to pay bills due and everything and budgeted nicely - then I went on to the O2 website to check my phone bill - ouch - 3 months worth due to their mess up £234 bill. There's my funds set aside for debt busting gone. Even managed to reduce my pet insurances and saved myself about £50 a month and £185 this month and now this. Feel like crying now.
