    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.

    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.
