    No not yet-I will close Evans once I get the statement that says balance 0.00 and will leave the catalogue open as I always found school uniform was quite cheap there and fairly good quality.I won't be using it till next year but they often send me money off vouchers or discount vouchers which make it even cheaper.Of course I won't buy anything from there till I save up money to be able to pay it off in full if I do order anything.

    Yeah! Well Done you!

    It all helps, clearing the little ones, makes more room in your head I think, then you can put all the energy and focus on any biggies you've got!

    But super stuff!
