In the black, here we come!

Today I closed another £200 off my overdraft, which mean that next time I get paid, it will push me into the black for the first time in 6 years :j

(for all of 5 mins until I pay the bills :rotfl:)

But it's progress. I will get there in the end!!

    Well done! Mine hasn't been in the black for about 18 months.
    I am working on getting it right down - had a bit of a shock last week when I found statements from 2-3 years ago which showed I'd been in my O/D up to about £300. Shocking how easy it is to swipe a card. Have already reduced limit from £3400 to £2900 and this month I've really upped my game and aiming for no more than -£2500 this month. I won't quite get under the -£1000 mark when I get paid on the 20th, but I've re-focussed and am challenging every spend.

    Looking forward to the day I can post something similar Carrie! Well done again!
