    Made a start and it feels good :D
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    I have decided in order to stop faffing i am going to set up a savings account so that any additional money i make goes straight in there instead of getting swallowed up as usual. Otherwise the money seems to go into my current account and what happens to it after that is anyones guess!

    Am off to have a go at entering some competitions that may hopefully mean prices that i can sell. Well done everyone so far.

  • ahh everyone seems to be doing really well!!! well done!

    I have nothing to take off my debt total today!! Boo - but am hoping towards the end of the week I will.

    In any case it definately puts a smile on my face when I hear of others paying off some of their debt! and definately is very motivating!!

    Thanks jpwhittle, hadn't thought of that one. I usually remember about quidco after making the purchases despite doing their daily clicks most days!
