Woo-hoo - overdraft limit

This might seem like a really small thing to some but to me it's a huge step forward;

I get paid tomorrow & I am not at the top of my overdraft limit :j

It's only £20 off the limit but normally if I'd had any money left at this stage I would take the money out & spend it on things I didn't really need, but this month it's going to stay. (Also working on Saturday this week so I'll get paid extra for that).

I feel so proud of myself! :T

    That's fab!

    And next month you'll be even further away from your limit and at some point your wages will go in and you will still be in the black!

    Great stuff - keep going, rarele!

    Same here actually. I was £80 below my limit until I drew out £60 this afternoon. This was to pay off a debt I might add!

    Well done :T I attacked my overdraft very soon after starting my MSE journey as I felt it helped to know where I was each month,how much I could spend/pay off..Keep chipping away its a great feeling not having D's next to everything on your statement!!
