    I've got lots of things I really want to achieve but am so impatient so am telling myself one thing at a time.

    I really wanted some chocolate and beer tonight, but resisted after work and didn;t go near the shop so haven't spent a penny all day which is a great start to the month.

    Hello yukkibear!! Just catching up with your diary, I've not been on for a few days, feels like longer! Well done on getting your loan under £2k - thats fab!! :T I'd say it'll be gone by Christmas no problem!

    I know what you mean about wanting to acheive everything at the same time, I get like that too - just want the debt gone!!

    Hope you are enjoying this lovely weather and not working too hard!

    Thanks CWC.

    I know exactly how much extra I need to pay off per month to get it gone by xmas. I'm going to try not to stress too much over it though, but am hoping it'll be gone obviously.

    Not much to report, but I did finally get my £50 cheque this morning, so that will go into my current acc and not off the debt.

    I got mine too, they must do them in batches, really need to start towards my next £50 but too much going on right now.

    I put dd2's cot on ebay and it sold this morning, paid for and collected today which was nice. It has cleared some space which was making my bedroom feel like a box room and also given my balance a small boost.

    Have also sorted 10 new bits for ebay tonight, so hopefully that will generate something.

    Glad you got your cheque, mine will probably be in the next batch! Well done on selling the cot too.

    I just raided my beauty stuff and put some bits on I haven't used and even some half used bits such as perfume that I don't wear, we'll see lol
