    Today I put in £8 of fuel instead of the £10 budgeted, hopefully weather remains dry as will definately be walking next week!

    So another £2 sent to Lloyds and £64 to find by end of Oct now!

    Well done Woowoo!

    I'm pretty sure you will find £64 and a bit more by end of Oct, you do seem to have a knack of squeezing that budget! :)

    Hi Andy & Happy

    I called myself WooWoo as that's the nickname for my dog lol!

    Favourite drink is a mojito!

    You've shifted a good amount already Andy, well done.

    I worked out today that once I am debt free I will have approx £850 a month just to spend on me!

    Happy that doesn't even sound a little bit selfish, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be in the best possible position to prepare for having a baby - you are being completely unselfish by getting yourself in a financially secure position first x
