I think your post is very positive Sparty, you've done a lot to work on looking after your money, you've got extra work, cut up a cc, not going away at the weekend, all positives.
I did go overdrawn last month but also had a lot to pay out for, not too sure how this month will pan out though, I've got a few more Christmas pressies to buy & then that will be my spending done. We go on holiday in 3wks so I'll soon start to eat 'what we have in' & not buy fresh stuff which may not get eaten, so that will save a few pennies.
