    I don't think so Bunny - I've replied to anything I got from you.

    Right, the damage so far this month.....

    Shopping account is £90 overdrawn :eek: this is because we have have paid for some Xmas presents out of it that we should have probably waited to buy until we had the money, but we are a bit rubbish at waiting! :o

    Bills account is fine, about £100 surplus in there but need to leave that in, just in case any of our bills come in higher than expected.

    As for the credit card :( that's standing at £185! :wall: Most of that is the insurance for the camper, but it HAS to go!!! lol!

    I have £80 on the way from Top Cash Back, and I think about £179 on the way from bingo/matched betting, but I'm not quite sure until it all arrives, as I've lost track a bit. I've also got £154 in Quidco, but not all of it is payable yet, and I want to leave it there until there's a decent lump sum.

    I think the next 6 months will be 'interesting' financially, especially if it takes the shares quite a long time to recover, but we should be okay if we are a bit more careful.

    I am working on the basis that if I can "muddle along" until the end of next month, it is then 2008 and I can be full on and furious as far as the money goes!!

    Phew, some of the money has started to arrive, the shopping account is back in credit and we have enough money to pay for shopping at the weekend (£54). My account has £8 in it - whatever will I spend it all on?? :rotfl: The visa card is still at £185, but there's another £35 on the way from bingo winnings, so 'only' £150 to find. I've got it in Quidco, but it's not payable yet.....bah......

    I am going to HAVE to pluck up the courage to do some more matched betting!!
