    I don't have a fixed amount, but I generally buy myself a book and one new "toy" when I get paid.

    It could be a PC game, a new piece of electrical kit, something for the bike etc etc.

    I've started putting £100 a month into my "spending account", which is mine to spend or save as I wish, be it a computer game, DVD, takeaway, whatever. It's completely seperate from my billpaying account with the overdraft on. I'm hoping that this way I can't be tempted to dip further into my OD simply because it's available like I was doing. It also means that any extra left over other than the £100 by next payday has gone towards paying my way out of the OD.

    That money talks, I don't deny, I heard it once, it said "Goodbye"
