    Thanks Michelle :)

    Have had to give the underarms a break - have managed to bruise them!

    I'm slinking in with a shameful zero things listed on ebay....:o Manic shifts over the weekend is my attempted defence!

    I envy you for being able to pay over £1,000 a month to your debt. I really need to sort myself out and STOP spending money on things I really don't need. Unfortunately, despite paying more than I've ever done to debt, I'm still one of those people that will buy something that I don't 100% need to have... Must try harder to curb this...

    It is nice to pay so much to get the figures down but it is definitely a case of earn as much as possible and spend as little as possible otherwise there is no way I could do it. It is hard going at times though.

    And I still desperately want an iPad! :D

    Have just been over my spreadsheets and I am currently looking at having cleared 57% by the end of the year and on the percentage thread I had set my goal at 65% so definitely need to step things up :)

    When you do step it up, you may also need to write a book on how you do it all!! x

    £11 to Lloyds so June payment target hit :)

    Have got another shift lined up for tonight as well so that should help me with the catching up on the other months.
