    Hi Kp ..is it possible to save money as £35 is a lot for landline...then you'll have a bit left over in your budget if you stop charity donations as well.

    LOL at grandad. Younger kids want/get/have sooo much stuff. DD1 almost 12 has stuffed her things in a small viseo cabinet and says thats is other then the trickets on shelfs. Everything else is DD2s who at 9 just cries at the mention of 1 tidying :mad: and 2 getting rid of anything :mad: :mad:. DS has a fair amount but has just about enough room for it. His is all cars or various things with wheels!

    Good news today is50p on free scratch card and £15 bodyshop slae to friends DIL :j . So 5 to me and 10 to MBNA.

    Spends so far 1 to DD1 which I think I have already added onto total when I promised her 5 last week - she has had 3 so far.

    No housework yet still got bags of kids winter /summer hats etc to sort.

    Your description of dd2, I thought I was reading about my dd. She would hoard everything if she had her way, as for tidying + sorting her wardrobe, anyone would think a murder was being committed!!

    You've just made me realise I didn't include kids things in my SOA! Isn't amazing how little things they do just start to add up. You do sound very organised. I dread tidying their rooms and do it when they are out, as they never notice what I've thrown out :D
    1st debt - Next [STRIKE]£583.32[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£408.71 [/STRIKE] £0 :j
    2nd debt - MBNA - £6,618.52
    First in many many to go - baby steps and all that!
