    i think achievability is the key Taxi, but you also need to push yourself a little.

    Well the first transfers have been made today, transfered £200 each to M&D and Norbert. This is realistically it for the next month until payday. Sometimes i wish i was able to make payments each day, but being paid monthly i find it better to transfer it all right at the start so it doesn't get spent.

    For the next two weeks my debt is into 4 digits which i never thought i'd achieve when i first started out here. It will go backwards slightly when we pay for the new windows and doors but i'm sure we'll be back under again in a couple of months time.
