    I had £473 repaid bank charges from abb*y yesterday which was amazing and £245 worth of charges that are not going to be charged to our joint account now, we only sent off the letter a week or 2 ago! Our account is now £50 in credit, although just paid the council tax that didnt get paid so account will be in our overdraft by £50 which is ok as we pay into it again soon.

    Its such a relief to have that account back to normal and no more charges.

    Its given me a boost, that debt freedom will eventually be possible!

    I am now going to go clean my car then clean the house and then chill as i am doing overtime tomorrow :T go me!!!! :T

    Hope your all having a lovely weekend! :D

    Sounds like you got lots of stuff though Jen for the money.

    I am having a bit of a boring day, OH has gone out and I did some cleaning and am now watching Tv.

    That is great about the cheques Stacy, that must be a massive boost!

    Nicki you are doing really well wth your debt! Have you paid off your Dad now?

    I definitely think there is more motivation to get rid of debt than to save, Hope I somehow manage to carry on when I finish paying off the debt.

    I could do with some red bull!
