    LOL I kept hiding from myself...............when I filled a bag I put it away. I had no idea how many bags I had until I looked last night and way hey £168! Pity it couldn't all go to debt, mostly paid bills but in the positive vibe of this thread, it's money I didn't have to find from elsewhere :)

    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Evening all,

    Totally exhausted today, very poor nights sleep but hopefully tonight will be better.

    Moneywise, two little surprises from DH, totalling 45.99, need to knock that on the head again. (See Cialilerin, they are all the same)

    As I said before need to pay Halifax £800 per month to clear it in a year.............have £500 so need to find extra £300 each month, oh what joy!
