    Thanks for the congrats :beer: it did feel good, we have paid off £2,400 in total this month with the other credit card and 2 loans, and am sub 20k for the first time since records began :o
    You guys keep me going!! And you stopped me from buying glastonbury tickets today without even knowing it. :A
    Big thanks to all, and to sophiesmum for being so reliable and starting us off every day!
  • Just thought of another thing that I do that saves me money and is also good for the environment.

    I charge my mobile at work, but I use the USB charge from my monitor. The only time I actually use my phone charger now is when I go on holiday.

    I do use the USB charge function at home but that’s because I'm synchronising my diary on my phone to my outlook on my PC.

    I charge my phone in the car when I am driving.
