    My new debt total will stand at £3715.14 once I have paid off the HBOS overdraft. I have the money here to do that, just need to ensure I receive a bulletproof letter from them confirming their agreement to my specific terms and conditions ;). Even better than I thought!

    Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! We have had 2 no spend days - yesterday and today! Great way to start my road back to frugality.

    Had a clearout of DS room today so found a huge car boot sale pile, and a few things worthy of ebay. Will make a start on this tomorrow. Off to start yet another dinner, and relax for the rest of the evening :D. Have a few unwanted gifts to ebay, and a few things to return!

    Ah but wine with questionnaires - now that's a whole other kind of fun;).

    Thanks for the kind message, I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself too! Now if only we get on Wanted Down Under, 2012 is going to be a fabulous year!!

    Got my Xmas gift from my London girls yesterday over a Groupon afternoon tea :D. They have bought me an Australian Wine Tasting in Glasgow and they are all coming up to join me!!! Bless.

    Anyway, gutting the house today so that tomorrow can be filled with debt busting duties. Picking up a few reserved bits at Argos later for my boot camp attempt at losing my waistline bulge.

    Hogmonay here we come!

    More gutting of the house today - debt busting to be fitted in for a few hours this afternoon. Hubby is up the attic playing with wood, nails and things - professing to be converting the attic.
