As for the pesky challenge I reckon it will be possible for us to pay off citi by the 11th Sept.. I've worked it out like this..

£61.11 in bank at the mo
£90.41 in bank transfer limbo from bills account should clear day after tomorrow
£45.55 in paypal
£21 worth of items in ebay still awaiting payment
£11 from ebay buyer who's collecting item this week sometime
£32.94 from foxybingo should clear in a few days
£32 saved on weds from tax credits
£32 saved on 29th (tax cred)
£32 saved on 5th Sept (tax cred)
£120.80 child benefit on 11th Sept

= £478.81 = citi paid off :T

BUT this doesn't take into account posting the ebay stuff, OR money for blackpool..... so we'll see what happens.... :rolleyes: lol!
