    It has given me a headache, no money in bank means no change in spreadsheet, so I have given it a rest for a few days! :rotfl:

    ETA - Up to 5 NSD now!

    I have been thinking of some new debt busting measures, like notably getting rid of ones brum brum. This would free up £150 on my payplan budget. I will think about this and put forward a plan to start this January 1st!
