    just an update....money is starting to come in from ebay and amazon sales now...paid an extra £105 off the debt this morning already and have updated my sig. swapped some money in the PMS jar for £2 coins at the post office yesterday so the £2 total has gone up and the PMS total down. i have been invited out for a meal in a few weeks, no babysitting costs because a friend is doing it, i feel i can stretch to that and it will be nice to get out.

    am already thinking towards Julys challenge for myself...im thinking £500 off the overdraft....! july is a 5 week month for me so i think i can do it!!!

    cheers lynz.....cant wait to be sub 6k like you!!! i think i might be there end july...maybe even sooner i hope!!!! i think it helps that i get paid weekly....i take out my £80 housekeep, also my £100 for bills and everything thats left gets paid off debt, also everything i sell (ebay, amazon etc) goes off debt and any PMS that i manage to claw back too....thats why it seems to come down fairly quickly...when i put my mind to it that is!!!
