Hi elly
Good idea to put new wages by, that's what we'll be doing in September. We aim to be completely debt free by July 2014. Not long till your holiday, where are you going? We're not going anywhere (again) so going to try some days out even if it's just an hour away. I must do a meal plan keep meaning to but time gets in the way. How's the job going?
