    Do you actually need new pans? Can you afford new pans? Think of :money: 's mantra.

    Nope, it's a want not a need, I can get by on the pans I've got! I will wait until Christmas and ask people to buy me pans :rotfl:

    Go on then I'll try a SMART too :D

    SPECIFIC - SETTLE Credit card by Xmas £2500 and OD of £350
    MEASURED - 8MONTHS £312.50/ MONTH
    ACTION - Stop using credit card for daily spends
    REALISTIC - budget carefully, hide card, use £50 from sister each month to clear OD
    TIME - 01.12.2013 = £2850.00 O/S

    Although it is less than this thinking about it, but it's a start :) So I have to pay off £12.09 a day....eep!
