Newbie to posting on these forums. Spend many hours reading all your lovely stories/hints & tips though :)


I'm just doing a little mini-wave and celebration as I've reduced *one* of my overdrafts by £50!!! May not sound much to some, and it still stands at £700 but i'm hoping its gonna put me on the slow path to being o/d free and being able to close this non-used bank account :j I intend to revisit the account in May and hopefully reduce by another £50 and so on every few months (thats the plan anyway!)

Have a good afternoon y'all

    Hi and welcome

    Every achievement is worth celebrating - :j:j
    They are all a step in the right direction (and 2 steps away from the wrong direction!).

    Good luck!
