My Debt free date :)

Evening Folks,

So following on from my thread "what else can I do?" I have today got the cash from my car.
That cash has been allocated to clear my debts. (payments set up but cash not gone to them yet)

I am very happy, and it's such a nice feeling.
I have reviewed my budget several times this last 3 weeks, and I think that I have it cracked. I just have to learn about living within that budget now.
Going by my card transactions, I am £8 under budget on food. But I know that I have gained £200 in ebay sales and purchases for other people. So I have also had that money in my purse (cash) so I know that this month ahead will be harder for me.

I have no idea where my money was going in the past, but as of now I will keep a very close eye on it. Anything that is not a direct debit will be paid for out of cash, and then we will see how (little) we have left and we know to be careful.

Thanks everyone you have all been wonderful
