    I have transferred some money from my paypal account to my bank account and accepted a mystery shopping job for a meal at a local restaurant for my family. That's a £25 quid free meal plus £5 that I am going to put either towards my holiday spending money or towards my debt. I've also transferred all my debts on to the one m and s card 3.9% for the life of the balance. I did a snowball that said I would be debt free in 48months if I paid off £100 a month. However I know that with some hard work I can bring it down well before that.

    I forgot to take my packed lunch to work so I ate it for tea instead!
    Also, I phoned Halifax to close my Visa card (which I have paid off :D) in preparation for tarting my remaining Capital1 balance. I was offered a couple of deals on balance transfers but instead of accepting straight away I opted to think it through, and I have realised there are better offers elsewhere. I then applied online for a M&S card with a better Life of Balance deal and got accepted within the hour. :j I am happyyyy (and it's payday tomorrow so I will be updating my siggy again - the highlight of my month!)
