    I will need it! Ive got a few days off work now - without the kids lol! - so I will be in full on pottering mode and hope to get myself organised with:
    a) finances
    b) menu/diet plan for May
    c)housework
    d) ironing
    e) ebaying

    Ive picked up another couple of Ms for next week and have sold a few bits on Amazon so £8.48 heading my way. I need to draw up some priorities, everything is up in the air at the moment and I feel my DFW ways have slipped severely, I need to turn my 'Eye of Sauron' back onto debt busting but need some head space to get things sorted. I feel the need to make a list :) cgx

    Thanks, we've been lucky enough to tart onto the 0% deals for the last 4 years but I think in a way it leads to complacency because when ive had a balance on an interest card boy have I worked hard to shift it!
