    Hi Gemmzie - good to see you x

    Targets....well, this new loan leaves us with one credit card with a balance of about £6800, and some of OH's egg card, which is frozen so is more like a high interest loan! There should be about £3000 outstanding on that.....

    So, my initial target will be to matched bet, bingo, mystery shop my way to clearing both those (egg first as it is the higher APR) by the end of the year.

    I have another loan finishing in July, so that will be an extra £200 to snowball, and then we can really start to get things moving.

    Although my outstanding debt will have to be adjusted upwards a bit to take into account of the extra recent spending, I am still confident that I can pay off £20k by Christmas.

    I am easing my way back into matched betting......ready for the next footy season I guess, although with Euro 2008 and the Olympics there might be some opportunities there.

    I also have to do at least one car boot, and rather a lot of ebaying!

    Hi, its a burst of energy sent your way from me. I had a surprisingly good day at work, and dont feel quite as worn out as I was expecting with only 5 hours sleep last night. so you can have a bit of my energy. I am planning to get my bills etc sorted out tonight. Check I havent missed anything, cos I cant believe I have saved £700 since February? Something wrong there I am very sure.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
