    I'm just about scraping myself off the floor and I am so excited. It's dated from 1st July so I wont really feel the effects until August, but it means I'll be able to pay more off my debts which means my DFD will come quicker!!!

    Big Smiles here.

    well considering my doctor said I had depression this morning, this has really cheered me up!!!

    I've worked out roughly what it should be a month, but can't wait to get my full pay packet so I can work out what I have to throw at my debts.
