    Yay on the debt being under £10k soon. You must be feeling very pleased about it. Glad you enjoyed your Bank Holiday too.

    Yay to the debt being almost under £10k so close now :) Give me a shout when you're free for meeting for coffee, I've just baked some gorgeous banana loaves, so might even be able to share a slice :) Also, do you know of any good farm shops around here?

    Are you able to reduce your OD each month by £50 or so to clear it all off and save you running up the debt again? Weaning yourself off the reliance so to speak.

    Hope the kids have enjoyed their time off and are looking forward to going back to school.x

    Re farm shops..not sure. We get a box delivered from our local organic farm - The Community Farm. 10% off too as we are members. Also we have lots of Asian supermarkets, great value
