    Well there really is nothing to report in my dull little life at the moment. The Bank are not upsetting me (yet), I still have money in the Bank (momentarily) and I am still paying extortionate rates of interest on credit - oh and I'm still in debt :rotfl:

    But apart from that, am ticking along nicely. Resisting the urge to spend money on running things, as in even going into shops, stroking nice tops/shorts and touching gels and then *deep breath* walk away...............

    I even managed to avoid an argument with OH when he came in in his typical fashion and demanding voice - "how much do we owe" - aaarrrrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - but I just replied "a lot" and walked away :D

    Off to do some work now, by 9am, amazing!

    2nd debt - MBNA - £6,618.52
    First in many many to go - baby steps and all that!
    First lump sum to go - fingers crossed!

    Well done on resisting temptation ... Has the bonus arrived yet? Seems oh is still not grasping the debt... I'm trying scare tactics with my credit cards for lower intrest see if it works. Asked for lower rate they said no I said ok I wont pay, this will effect credit unsaid my credits already effected I just want a little help 6 months at a lower rate so I feel like i'm making a difference on my numbers. I think they prefer you on the creek with no paddle before a life line is extended :/) lol x
