Well done James,
So you've reduced your overdraft by £80 this month, you'll definitely be in the black next month. How about shutting down the overdraft to stop you from being tempted? This is what I have done and it is surprising how much more careful I am now with my account knowing that there is no room for error (there is of course an emergency £200 in a savings account should I need it).

hey James , I'm going on holiday on Saturday too, its the first one we've had as a family
Not going far away but its all been paid for in cash & like you said all spending money is under control here too!
You have a great time & enjoy yourself, life is for living too & you've done so well, so you enjoy the break :j :j :j0 -

Thanks, I'm going to make the most of it as when I get back every single penny is going to be thrown at the debt so I can hopefully break the back of it by the end of next year. Not taking my debit card with me either, just the money I've saved from doing extra jobs so if it runs out theres no temptation!0 -
