    YAY that's right on schedule!! Keep up the good work :T:T:T

    Kerri this weeks mini challenge is so appropriate for me - the last few months I've been absolutely pants at taking lunches and buying them adds up so quickly!! :eek: Made risotto for tea - but HATE leftover risotto - so have kindly donated that to OH and cooked extra bacon to make a BLT sandwich for myself for lunch om nom nom :cool:

    Dorsetgirl - I don't even think of this challenge as starting until January so ANY money you can throw at your debt before that is such a bonus! Plus January payments wouldn't even normally be until the end of the month because you'd have totally skinted yourself over xmas so we're already about 6 weeks ahead of where we would have been anyway if that makes sense?!? :rotfl:

    Maybe we should ask George Osbourne if he wants to join our challenge then and make Britain debt free by Xmas 2012...? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
