    Won't be going for Gold due to exams and the like, but I've cleared the main chunk of my cards which was my main goal :)

    DLA - £74.10 (until Aug, waiting on renewal)
    Expenses - varies, approx £20

    TOTAL: £538.74


    Outgoings
    Mobile Contract - £29.99
    Laptop Insurance - £12.99
    Contact Lenses - £22
    Health Insurance - £22
    Lunch (once a week) - £10
    Petrol - £30
    Uniform - £14
    Clothing - £20
    ISA - £20
    DVD Rental - £14.99
    Car Insurance - £30
    Car Tax - £10.50

    TOTAL: £236.47

    Difference ... £302.27


    Debts
    HSBC Card (Dad)............0%........................£745.00 ...£50 per month

    Woah, that's better :)

    I may "overpay" the final debt - if I pay £150 then I'll be free of it from October which was my aim. Even when my wage drops to SSP over the summer, I still should be able to manage that.
