    In to update my numbers - interest has been added to my statement = £4.21. So after my dd payment of £22.39, another £18.18 can come of the total host-love1-smiley.gif

    Monthly target = £458.18/£540 - £81.82 to find

    New debt total = £1682

    Trying my hardest not to spend any money unless I need to. I currently have £130 in my currents account, £150 in grocery fund + I'm waiting on £40 tax credits and £130 child benefit. I still need to pay for OH's birthday + food for the rest of the month but hopefully all the excess money can go to the credit card.

    Only 23 days till payday!! laugh1-smiley.gif

    We have booked our wedding!!! t5504.gif. July 2013 - so plenty of time to save! We are planning on putting the money we would normally have put by for holidays into the "Wedding fund" so it shouldn't interfere with DFW/MFW plans angel3-smiley.gif. I'm quite excited........

    Not much happening on the BR money front at all!

    Money seems to be getting hoovered up at the minutecleaning-smiley.gif. I doubt anymore overpayments will be made this month unfortunatly as I appear to be skint and will bearly scrape through to payday (only 5 sleeps though!! dance-girl3-smiley.gif ).

    I'm not to fussed as I did manage to clock up £495 worth of payments in an otherwise expensive month! Nothing bad about that!!

    On the baby front - I found out yesterday that I'm having a little girl!! happy-smiley.gif
