    Hiya everyone, got another £19 cashback ready to claim so that'll go towards o/d. My sealed tin is getting nice n heavy too (going towards visa when full). Still no news on job front, which is starting to get me down now, but my lovely friend has asked me if i can mind her little girl a few hrs a week. Every little helps tho.
    Everyone else is doing really well. Well done:j

    stay strong, nickynoo - something will turn up.

    I have made a start on my next debt - my Egg loan, which will NOT be paid off by Christmas as it is £14000 or thereabouts!

    But I have just paid off £30 so it's a start!

    Thanks Hypno. I think I'm just worried that, until I see it in black and white on my statement, that something might go wrong somewhere.

    Anyway, it's there now, so sig has been duly updated.
