    thanks coffee! I have now received the child benefit, have paid £100 off the Barclays CC , I will leave the £37 until payday and pay that over as well. Had £100 extra in our joint account this month so will put that towards it to on pay day , then i can put £150 into the savings/ongoing commitment fund like car maintenance etc

    can't wait to see that CC below £4000 then I will really feel like I am getting somewhere

    have a good weekend all

  • You are doing really well - good to see the cleared ones in your signature.

    I'm with you on the essential anti-badger hair, that is a non-negotiable in my budget although I suppose I could go back to doing my own if I really had to.
