    Nearly at the end of April, and we have got 90% of our statements so we know where we are in May.

    I'm proud of us this month, first month in as long as I can remember that we haven't robbed peter to pay Paul and had no bills bounce :)

    Thanks both

    Well not as awesome as I had hoped at the start of the month, but we have £11.37 to overpay on CC10, every little helps right?! lol

    I am still very pleased tho, as we have all been off work and school for easter and managed to have a good time, and only spent money we had made extra on ebay etc whereas in the past we would have milked our cards as much as possible lol

    So I am still very pleased with us

    Well done you!

    Are you consciously trying to use less or making small efforts (like waiting longer to switch lights on in the evening for example?)

    Do you have a goal for May? You've rocked it for April!

    Thanks hun :)

    I am going to think of my goals today :) I do think its "easier" to do when I have goals iyswim

    Overpay CC10 is deffo a one lol, thats a permanant one, then I cant wait till CC10 is gone cos thats another £90 that can go to another one instead?

    I have noticed since weve been monitoring the g+e we have been waiting longer to put lights on, making sure tv/pc is off when not in use, trying to wait as long as poss before putting heating on etc, annoyed with the weather this weekend cos its been warm but raining so weve not had heating on much but had washing to dry so had to use the tumble dryer, havent used that in about a year!

    How are you getting on hun? xx
