    Yeah I'm really happy with it, been and lodged it into the bank, worked out finances and I'm still £19 short so no Chinese tonight, maybe next weekend since we was so good and got us a good chunk of money, it is a huge help!

    Do you actually have £676 left each month? I would stop using the credit cards and cut them up. Are you planning to tackle the Vanquis card first?

    Yeah I actually usually have more, like last month I managed to pay £1313 off and only £480 was accounted for in my SOA. I've just had a really expensive year and haven't really kept my spending in check tbh. I usually have no issues with my dd I just completely miscounted when paying off my other card!:o

    Yeah I'm hoping to have most of the vanquis paid off next month :)

    Great to have a plan and I always find that writing things down helps me to stick to it, good luck!
