    Its coming down very fast Jamiedodger, I only hope I can knock mine down so fast when I start tackling mine. WELL DONE :D
  • Hi Jamie, hope you are well? How's it going?

    I am looking forward to pay day (25th) as I should see my overdraft go down, almost to half if I am lucky! :j

    I'd just like to say thanks again for starting this thread as it has really helped me stay focussed! I was so tempted today to go to town and spend money but I talked myself out of it....I'm soooo wanting the OD balance to come down.

    Hope you are OK and the car is sorted now? Hope it wasn't too much.

    Bye for now.

    Well done JD.

    Hope things look up for you, it's not like you to be down. Always so positive you are! Sorry that sounds a bit like Yoda (sp?) in Star Wars. Perhaps the sun will come out which always helps on the "cheering up" front.

    Well done on paying off another £100 despite it all.
