    I get paid tomorrow and have cancelled or trimmed another £288.85 from May's budget, which has been paid off a CC. Call it paying myself first :)

    Thanks Beanie and KC, I am trying. Just preparing to steel myself against the mid month lull when I have nothing left to pay ;)

    In unrelated news, got DD a swimsuit, hat, shoes and a cute wee T-shirt avec papillons for £20. Seemed reasonable for the remnants of her holiday supplies, think she has almost everything now? :think:

    Edit: am a big saddo, thought the money I had in a fixed rate ISA was maturing, but it's not for a month yet.

    Awww! You go at a thousand miles an hour :D or you'd like to, anyway :)

    Sounds good to me. I've just been faffing about with papillons myself today, in my inherited patchwork stash :)
    And omigod, children's clothes are so adorable these days!

    Oh the excitement - I've updated me spreadsheet and the V1rgin CC is now the one with the highest utilisation. My theory is that utilisation and total debt are the main issues for banks, so I direct payments accordingly. Massive payment made, I will miss that £1 :rotfl:

    Isn't it annoying when slow and sensible wins the race? :o

    Congrats on the below 60%
