    I am and I can't wait. First time in approx 5.5 years. Although the next account does normally fluctuate as you can't pay by card online and as I have been prone to buying the odd baby item or three... Four... Ten. :D it has been increasing slightly.

    My plan is to pay the final £200 to my dad after my DD of £200 comes out, that will finish my loan, then pay off the next acc over the month, so I can start my maternity leave debt free. :j (apart from mortgage) and also hoping I have enough in savings and that i can save during the first 3 months of leave to take a year off without getting into debt.

    My 'spends' include all times I pay for anything, however essential, using cash or a card but not direct debits. I reckon in the future I could relish a challenge of getting more 'hardcore' with this but aren't ready to commit to that just now. . .

    Hi Mrs C - I was going to include DDs last month but as I have them going out just about every day, I thought it would just give me an excuse to spend on DD days as they weren't NSDs anyway - if that makes sense :think:

    I'm 1 off last month's target - hoping to get there today.

    I'm going to aim for 15 again in April. It was tough in March...but no point in doing the challenge if it's easy :rotfl:

    Freeby, thanks for the new thread. I'm so inspired by this forum and by all of you lovely people. Good luck for April everyone - let's hope we're all little angels and get our targets :A

    Great news.
    When I still had the Next account I had them set up as a bill payment from my bank account & used to PAD to it.Statment was rather long :rotfl:
