    Afternoon all!

    I was reluctant to pay anything this week because I have my 'big week' of bills coming out next week. Then I received a tax refund this afternoon in the post so I paid off £100!! :T Still working out what to do with the rest of the money - but it will definitely be going towards debt!

    #67 - £100 off = £3391.55/£5500
