We went to see knight and Day didn't get to see the end DS rang to say he was poorly but from what I saw it was very good, now have to wait for it to come out on the tv to see the end.
I managed to list 7 items on ebay and so far have a few watchers so maybe some debt busting. I have also been playing with spreadsheets and now have my debt broken down with targets every 3 months just have to make sure I stay on track if I make it I will have knoocked 14 months off my DFDMARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035

Don't think I've heard of knight and day... Might have to read up on it and maybe go have a look.
Hope DS is feeling better?
Good luck with the eBay items. I've sold a couple of things so far, a camera and phone, although they went to my Dad. I was going to eBay the, but he wanted them, so sold them to him, for a discount though.
Spreadsheet sounds good. 14 months is a HUGE difference if you can do it! Good luckI've only the one spreadsheet, but it lets me track everything I need to, including my snowball and all my repayments

haha thanks for stopping by, please do call me Adam. I've thought about going back to the old username if I can, but not sure if it's too much hassle, and people here would be too confused LOL.
Still on track, keeping to my limit of £800 a month busting the debt. Been paying more than that, but only by about £30-£40 a month, nothing huge. Still, it all helpsAdam's diary - My Debt Diary - The Challenge | LBM May 2010 with £23,343.35 | £16,141.46 to go...

Yeah I've not done that either - I get a bonus/pay rise in September, although I'm not adding that to my snowball because a) most of my bonus is going towards my holiday and b) I don't know how much I'm getting, if anything LOL. I always find it's best not to have an expectation or an idea of what you hope for, that way you cannot be too dissapointed, or come to rely on getting a set figure.Also just dropping in! Payday only 14 days away now :rotfl:
13 days for me (if I'm counting correctly). Get paid on the 25th - although pretty much ALL my extra money is going on my holiday this monthAdam's diary - My Debt Diary - The Challenge | LBM May 2010 with £23,343.35 | £16,141.46 to go...
