    I have to admit, I am rubbish at debt busting. All good intentions and when I don't see results as quickly as I'd like I seem to think just spending like normal is appropriate and then get annoyed at myself. Buying the odd meal for work as a treat every other night, no longer a treat but over spending. Throwing a £20 note in the bin because I am rushing about instead of being organised. Loads of other things, just need to kick myself up the bum and sort things out.

    I have worked extra extra hard this past month and my bank balance looks a lot healthier for it.
    Also got a letter in and my tax rebate should be coming in the post shortly. It will be going straight to my overdraft.

    Reduced my over draft by £180. It is now under £1000 ! This hasn't happened in a very long time.

    £25 and interest from last statement paid to credit card - balance now £850.

    Double glazing payment made with slight over payment - balance now approx £2530.

    Loan payment due out next week.

    Thank you Hiddenidenity :)
    I'm really trying to get rid of this debt. The next target I have set myself is to get the overdraft to £750 and credit card to £700 by the end of July.

    Another little payment to the credit card.
    If I buy something for me, I need to pay something off the credit card too. Bought a DVD, paid the same amount off of the balance of my card :)
