    Oh now that's a nice little extra Becs - £165 is not to be sniffed at! I had a clear out of old paperwork and got all excited when I found a paying in book for an old abbey account - the last entry showed just under £300, but when i went online I saw that I transferred that to my current account when I changed banks - LOL

    Oh no, how disappointing EB!

    Just had a lovely half hour with the two dogs from my office. Went out onto the field, loads of snow but the sun is shining as well. Been a proper child and ran around with them and thrown snow everywhere, lovely :D

    Busy at the club last night, am tired today.

    Minimum payments went out on the loans today (£406 and £140) so just £1 to the o/d and £1 to Borneo spends today. :)

    The best news for today though, I have another percent to go report on the % thread and.....

    :j I am now sub 23K!!!!! :j

    Link above. Kat started it - you can choose either a % of your salary to go on debts or the % you're trying to reduce your debt by.

    I've chosen to try and reduce my debt by 65% by Dec 2011.

    Then you just report whenever you want to say how far you've got :)
