    We'll get you addicted to OPs yet GAP. Better yet - ask LG to match your £1 - sorted.

    I became debt free the first time around by joining the PAD thread.  Was so addictive!

    No reason why you can't do that again and apply it to your OPs account.

    I just remembered I had £2 in my P@yp@l account.  I've cashed that out and transferred it to the BOF account.

    Total OP today = £12.

    Today I spent a little bit of money on garden bits, not a huge amount, just a bit to make it look nicer.  It's already ok but the grass needs a good feed and there's a bit that needs some more stones.

    Managed a small OP = £1

    It's little things like that - that help make it feel more like home.
