    I am VERY EXCITED about my scores on the doors this morning :D:D:D:D:D

    Business
    Overdraft: -£-9110.00 / -£9000.00 +£110.00

    Business total: -£9110.00 / -£9000.00 +£110.00

    Personal
    Barclaycard: -£1040.00 / -£540.00 +£500.00
    Nationwide card: -£2330.00 / -£2330.00 no change
    Halifax card: -£5700.00 / -£5640.00 +£60.00

    Personal total: -£9070.00 / -£8510.00 +£560.00

    Grand total:18,180.00 / -£17,510.00 +£670.00

    That definitely deserves a few of these:

    So that's the first £1,000 of the business overdraft paid back, the Barclaycard under £1,000, the first payment made to the Halifax, personal cards into the £8k band and total debt down into the £17k band. Not bad for one week :D:D:D:D:D:D

    Beastie was very well behaved - my best score so far and a frilly for our efforts. Well chuffed with her. I however, am aching today :)

    Congrats on the rozzie, LAM :T:T:T:T:T

    Not much money-related stuff to report (other than someone spending nearly £400 on my website :T), but I finished the first week of the two months of personal training Mr Minx has got me for my birthday this year (it's not until next month, I got started early) and I'm 3lbs lighter and half an inch smaller all over :D
