Another great total for May everyone. :T
Don't think I'll be making any more payments until payday on the 25th. thanks to overstretching myself on the payday just gone, I'm living on £170 for the next 3 weeks, which would be doable if I didn't have 3 trips to london and a ball to go to! :eek: God knows how I'm going to manage it.

Well done Eltee! :T"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Just £20 today, but....
.... I'm taking on some more work tomorrow:j. I thought it was just going to be 3 or 4 hours a week, but after a telephone call today it looks like it will be more like 15 hours which is brilliant. Maybe I'll reach my target this year after all.

jwil - thanx for the welcome. getting back on the waggon's the hardest part. "I just don't count those payments until the balance is back to where it was before." - what do you mean??
well done eltee12. you must be so proud :j.

Hi All
Haven't managed any OPs since I paid off my Co-op loan and have just booked a holiday so I don't think there will be any OPs for a month or so! but I will keep checking in each day for motivation.
Well done to all on the OPs and the total for May.
