    Thats it I'm kicking off!!!!!

    But really, I don't mind that you are ahead of me now, as I know that I still have my little stash to pay off as soon as my Student loan payment comes in. I will of course amend my sig in your favour (again), but don't get too complacent, I am hot on your heals!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Hmm, having written out my spending for the next 6 months roughly in my diary, my current accounts fluctuate but remain roughly the same over the long term, so I am not going to deduct the sums from my debt when my student loan goes in. These accounts are interest free anyway and perhaps over the summer I can re-assess this.

    I recon to half your current lead (hopefully) in about 2 weeks, and if all goes well be kicking your backside by March!

    If either of you buy things online it's worth joining quidco for cash back from certain sites. Have you signed up with YouGov - it's only about £50 a year but better than nothing xx

    Hey DTDT, I may look into the scrathcards after my exam on the 5th (eek!), thank mudbath but I tried YouGov before and found that I wasn't getting credited for my surveys which really put me off. I am already a quidco hussy but don't really buy much online anymore, I made a fair amount matched betting a year or so ago using the site.

    I still recon to half DTDT's lead next week!
