    well done you! Just don't let your lifestyle grow to meet your new income. Why not set up a DD so the extra you're now earning goes straight to a debt paying account, or a savings account. That was you won't be tempted to use it!
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Current Pay Off Target : £1500 :mad:
