    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

    so Member 42 252/ 4225 (5.96%)

    Thanks muppets hope your work lets you have some down time soon xx
