    I just wanted to proudly state that I have £35 in my bank account.

    Why does that matter?

    Well, it's Monday... I get my WFTC each Tuesday and usually by Saturday I'm down to pennies. I know it's not a huge thing, and I know it's not really my money as I owe so much... but I'm very proud of myself!!

    I'm doing lots of little things... I've made offers initially with all to whom I owe money and am waiting to hear back, and if the bank charges and tax payments all come through then I can increase them dramatically, but regardless of that I'm on my way.

    I'm still having huge problems getting away from my prepayment meters for gas and electric though, as nPower changed their minds about letting me switch - actually, they were misleading when they signed me up, but regardless, it's not happening. So I've approached British Gas and am keeping fingers crossed.

  • Dina,

    You have had soo many good auggestions, and i am pleased you are taking all on board!

    Just a quickie though - have you thought about selling on ebay to raise more money. With a 3 year old, I am sure you have stacks that he has outgrown/out played with?

    Ooooooh it's 5p listing day today as well!
