    Morning all,

    #006 checking in with £665.00/£10000 please muppets :D

    Cleared the Tesco card - would have been rude not to after yesterdays finger slip only left £25.00 on there!
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭

    Wow just had a quick look at my bank. I have actually been 9 days without spending from it. Apart from the normal DD that is. I think that's the best I've done in I don't know how long! I know I need to do a few bits at the weekend but not before. So that will be 11/12 days!
    I think I might set myself a target every month to take out at the start of each month what I need then push to do as more each month.
