    :jThe money from my brother has turned up - Lloyds CC is no more! :T Have sent the rest of the 3K to the loan as that's what I'm tackling next. Although I still owe the money just to my brother instead, it's a nice feeling to see that CC gone :D

    My minimum payments to the loan and Barclays have also gone out so that's another £220 to my Aug goal.

    I have also now cleared 42% :D

    Managed to only spend £4 at the lunch yesterday as well as I just had chips and coke so altogether this week is going well :)

    Every time I log on you have moved another percentage! :j. It doesn't seem like that long ago I was trying to convince you not to go to Borneo!!

    Great news on getting rid of the CC, how much difference has that made with your DFD as I assume the not paying interest would be quite a bit?

    Wow, Borneo seems like a long time ago now! :D

    It's saved me about £1K in interest which is great - I've decided to make my monthly targets more reasonable and still aim for the same DFD if that makes sense?

    Made my first ebay sale! :j £2.49 after fees :o

    Had a day off yesterday which was nice, caught up on some cleaning in my flat, went to the post office etc, took some more photos of stuff ready for ebay and then just chilled...lovely! :)

    Back at it today though, work in the pub this evening as well.

    £6 to the loan and 62p to savings :)
