  • £14.57 for me today. I have a somewhat renewed vigour to pay off the only one of my debts charging interest, so I need to ramp up my overpayments somehow!

    On a different topic, my 8 year old son Connor is a finalist in the Little Heroes competition for when he dialled 999 and then looked after his baby brother when his Dad had a seizure while I was at work. He is currently 4th but needs to finish in the top 3 to go through to the next round and possibly win a holiday! If anyone has facebook and doesn't mind voting for him, I'd appreciate it.

  • That's amazing about Connor, PLMBL! You must be so proud of him.

    A whopping £46 this week. Raised some pennies from selling a coffee machine I'd not used to a chap at work - all goes towards the debt :)

    And I got a date out of it... how exciting!

    Happy weekend, everyone!
  • I am purplegrape. I don't know what I'd do without him!!

    A date!! How exciting :j Xx

  • Hi guys, back from my hols (boooo) and not moving so time to crack on.

    PLMB, I don't have Facebook sorry but I really do hope you win, what an amazing thing to do and so deserving of an holiday.

    Jaxsmar, Hope you had a great break, I loved my holiday and I really appreciated it as I saved so hard so as not to scrimp or owe for it.

    Fedupandskint, wow ploughing through it there, great stuff.

    Purplegrape, witt-woo get you, have fun on your date.

    Julie2710, hmmm you minting £2 coins lol

    Sunaddict and Kem, wow great stuff.

    I'm off to do some new projections as for the first time in a long time there's nothing (at the mo) to save for. (Apart from I think I want a camper van next year but first things first)
    Back with an update shortly and I will go and show my poor diary some love too.
