    Ok, I'm feeling excited now, usually only declare at the end of the month, but I'm going to risk it, and hope I can do more next week

    :T:TWell done InsertWittyName:T:T Fab news!:D

    Finally I have the info I need to set up online banking so I can pay off some debt tonight. Not going to pay much more than the minimum though as this is a 5 weeker for me. My next payday isn't til 21st Dec so I want to spend as much of this wage on xmas as I don't want to be doing ANY xmas shopping the last weekend before xmas or xmas eve. Will be able to pay off a greater chunk in the New Year.

    Also, got my EDF bill today and as I'm in so much credit, they're refunding £180 :j
