    I hope nobody minds me joining in - I'm a newbie but determined not to lose any more sleep over money!

    1) Pay off my credit card, approx £1300 on there.

    2) Be well on my way to paying off my student overdraft before it turns into a graduate account, hoping I won't be anywhere near the £2,000 limit on it (I'm not overdrawn now so fingers crossed). I know student overdrafts don't matter particularly but I just hate owing money.

    3) Get myself a lovely job for when I graduate - after all that was the point of the Masters degree that has caused so much money stress in the first place!

    4) Go on holiday - I didn't go anywhere last year and even if it's just a weekend away I think I've earned it!

    5) Graduate with *hopefully* a distinction but a merit would be lovely
    £1280.03 on credit card, hoping to shift by end of 2016 :A
