    Wooohooo! Nice going. I am very proud about the separate spending account. Now make sure you use it!

    £149? Easy peasy? When do we think? March? February? Tomorrow? :rotfl: :rotfl:

    end of the week is my target for that one!

    Going to use the cheque from HM Customs (Ta very much Queenie!) and then it'll only really be £30 out of my own pocket.........

    OHHHH and.............
    Flatmate has said she's going to transfer me £200 for bill and council tax for the past two months she's been here. So I'm going to make sure all the utilities are up to date and anything left over from what she gives me I'm going to put into my (yes another!) halifax current acc, for anymore bills that might crop up for the flat.

    Not much to report.

    Got dinner bought and cooked for me last night which was very sweet of the BF, and just generally had a very nice night :)

    And its payday today, my revenues cheque has cleared so my only task today is to pay off the staff card!!!!!

    Well left the house after all, and did some food shopping (eek!), got however just what I set out to get, no extras, so that was £10 spent out of my £50 foodie budget.

    Also spent £10 on two books. Would you believe two copies of Martins Thrifty ways book. The BF got me mine for xmas, but it would appear that my mum has nicked it and now my Nan also wants a copy, but I'll get the money back for that :)

    So all in all a good day, I still dont think its actually sunk in that so far ths week I have paid off 2 out of 7 debts. So I'm not quite halfway there yet, but a quarter comes before a half!!!

    If only I could master this pesky ebay business. Its still not achievable with the bfs camera, which is prehistoric as they go and will only store one photo at a time........ issues there!

    So next target is £600 Dorothy Perkins store card!

    Aww thanks hun.

    It almost feels strange to now be clearing them after all the fuss and palaver I put myself through right at the start of this journey! I feel like Im really in motion on the whole thing now though :)
