    Thanks Gun, £300 odd doesn't sound much but I remember only too well when there was £14,000 odd and there would be barely anything to live on each month. I feel positively rich these days but do find it hard to splash on unless its holidays:T

    Back from holidays and paid off £150 in dribs and drabs whilst I was away so that's £1156/£1335. The end is in sight:j:j Not sure if I will get it paid off before payday at the end of the month but its pretty exciting to know there's less than a month to go:beer: Hope everyone else's debt busting is going well:)

    A whole £2 off this week (£1187/£1335), at this rate it might be Christmas! It feels like a never ending supply of things needing money at the moment:mad:
    On the plus side I'm doing some freelance work which will help bring in a little extra but there's also the downside that I won't get any of that for at least a month. :cool::cool: Maybe that can buy be a treat:T

    Yey and its post the post:j:j:j DFD is today:T:T It felt like a bit of a let down half an hour ago but I'm pleased to say the excitement's crept up on me. I feel very grown up this week I've opened my first ISA and it even has a whole £1 in it, that will grow now through, I'm planning on putting a bit aside each month.

    Good luck to all the other debt busters!:):)
