    Yeah it's really good, well worth going to see it if you can!

    It's a bit early to be shouting 'roll-on payday' as it's still another 15 days for me, although, that's not really too far away now :D

    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 DFD

    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 luck :D I'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 helps :)

    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.

    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 month
