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.
:beer: Great Idea I'm in!
Paid off another £7.18 and 38.16 matched betting and top cashback payment Bringing me down to under 4k , and so close to 50% lowest it's been in years I feel I can do this even if I only get to 2k by christmas it's a great big dent so far. :T
