    Well done PO, that's superb :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I'm now planning my June assault. I have £50 lurking in an account I don't use - that can go in for a start. I should manage £500 from regular money. I'll empty le cochon in a minute see what's in there - maybe a fiver in 10p's? Need to try and find a bit more than that if I'm to get under £3k though. Will have very strict food budget this month and not use the car on non-work days. Also have £11 worth of M&S vouchers which can be a food shop. Will also hit the freezer as much as poss this week. The smaller it gets the more motivated I become!

    £202 left in account this month - transfers across on Tuesday. Hopeful there will be a fiver's worth of 10ps and 5ps by the end of the month too - that'll be a tenner from le cochon, and having done a budget for the month the end of month payment could be a good one. The car insurance won't go out until July if I use the CC so that's good too. Just off to make a compote with some free rhubarb and some free strawberries.

    :TWell done PO, you've done so amazingly well despite the 'challenges' you've had to face.:T

    That remainder will be gone before you know it, especially with the determination you are displaying. :)
