    Lol, it's the only good thing that I've ever got from Natwest! If you really want to know it's a Graduate Overdraft Repayment Plan - they basically turned my £2k OD into an interest free loan with a fixed monthly repayment.

    Lulu's right, it's a great mental boost! I decided to pay off the last £250 early even though it's v. low priority, but I've got £41.50 extra a month and one less account on my credit report. Snowballing, baby!

    Aww yay for CMD! So exciting.

    I am stuck in work today while my OH is at home with the *new house keys*! I was supposed to be off but called back for some rubbish interview stuff aaargh.

    We have been doing quite well with the moneymaking from clearing out our old carp from the house - £100 from MM, £60 from ebay and car boot still to go.... still we have spent a lot more on new stuff.

    OH says the vendors haven't cleaned the house at all, and they broke the shower - bummer. I know they have a new baby and everything but he says its full of scuzzy dust and grime. Yuck. Moving tomorrow so hoping to post some pics on the weekend.

    Well done Birdie :D

    I'm pretty glad I can have that luxury! Ended up spending £48 today instead of the said £38. The girl uses this shampoo on my hair that always makes it amazing and soft so I caved and bought it. I've had it before and it lasted about 6 months so I'm more than happy with that!

    Lara - You must be uber excited! Yes please to the photos :)

    Birdie - Sounds like you've got a grip on it all now. How nice is that guy for giving you lifts to work? I agree with Tete, you could just get him some chocs or bake him something every now and then to say thanks!

    Thanks for that Tink!! I'll have a look later, if it's good then I'll sign up :)

    Hope everyone's had a nice day!
