    Hi everyone, feels like a big race already and I'm still in the starting blocks! :o
    I think I'll update at the end of every month once everything's gone out (unless I have a windfall :D)

    Good luck everyone :T

    Morning all

    The first £300 has gone out this morning, and hopefully I will have an extra tenner later from doing some alterations.

    Off to find the remaining £19700.

    Have a good day all.

    £257 off the debt for me today as a loan payment has been made.......the beginning of the month is always good on these challenges because most bills are paid early on.......but don't panic macgirl - you will be reporting successes when the rest of us are feeling the mid month blues!!

    Lots of one off's so this won't be normal for me:

    Sold jewellery - £700
    Transfer from BB - £50
    Used Tesco deals instead of cash - £270
    Savings on budget - £302

    Total £1332 :j

    Well I can definitely recommend raiding the jewellery box, it was bits I'd never wear or broken bits, unfortunately it's nearly empty now.
