    yayy- quidco money finally hit my savings account. I've now got £197 saved. I'm hoping at the end of the month to be able to report my o/d is also slightly lower than last month's start figure of £1500.

    I know that feeling I haven't yet made an overpayment this month as its very tight as had high outgoings this month. Hoping to make a few quid on Ebay so I can at least pay a token amount.

    There is £3 left but it feels a bit sad noting something so small. Still every little helps.

    Well inspired by Rayday post reminding us Xmas is just 6 months away :mad::D it made me think that if I got my butt in gear I could clear our MBNA card by then.
    I tried a similar challenge earlier in the year but failed miserably but feel like I am in a better place to deal with it now.
    Anyone want to join me??:D
