    spreadsheets keep you out of mischief and away from the shops. Always good when you're on here.

    Just updated my signature with Monday's numbers, preempting my payday i know but must be done :)

    I'm under £10k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Feels wonderful, and at least i know it won't go straight back upwards because of buying new windows etc :)
    it's a long way from where i started and i think in all honestly i don't think i ever believed it would happen.

    Its sounding *really* good, LT - love the mix you've got of the immediate future debt-paying and looking at how the savings will be allocated - very real, very positive, I love it.
