    Another £52 to the loan this morning which takes me under £6k owed to the bank - woopwoop!

    We've been having a very frugal month and I'm on course to PAD £500 over my usual amount this month. Also starting saving for a minibreak in July for something to look forward to.

    Haven't done the trade in box or any eBaying but I'm feeling quite motivated to have a rummage around tonight.

    Sorry you've not been feeling too good.

    Where's the mini break going to be to? :D

    Not sure, somewhere we can drive to in 4 hours or less. Doesn't really matter as long as it's a nice hotel and we can get some Champagne on ice!

    I'm also saving to have my watch serviced. It's a designer watch I've had for 10 years and I feel so extravagant paying for a "service" but it's one of my treasured possessions and I'd be heartbroken if it stopped working so I need to man up and pay the £300 :O

    It doesn't have a battery and whilst I'm not 100% sure the whole "servicing" thing isn't a con, it isn't winding properly. Because of the make no jeweller/watch repairman will look at it for me and so I have to send it off for treatment :rotfl:

    Yay for me!!

    This month has been great - a few things coming up which are going to slow the debt busting down soon but it's not taking away from this month!

    Under £7k and up to 71% this morning!

    Payday today. Paid off an awesome £1600 last month! It wasn't too difficult but I'm going back to the usual £1100 payment this month so that we can have some fun over the Easter holidays. We deserve it.

    I've put aside some £ for some new summer clothes and a couple of nights out :D
