Try free scratchcards to make up your shortfall. Of the ones I'm experimenting with Take a Break Bingo seems to be the best (so far). Sign up with them deposit £10. Open up a bingo game, click on the free scratchcard (Lucky the Cat) win something. Immediately withdraw your original £10. After that you can log in once a day and do the free scratchcard. I appear to be averaging £2.50 a week, so £10 a month. You can also do this with St. Miniver owned Bingo sites, some of which are giving £10 cashback via Quidco, but only open 1 St. Miniver account (which Take a Break are not). That should net you approx £20 a month for a few dull moments everyday.

I'm amazed by how much you've achieved and how positive you are especially in the face of 49.9% interest rates from Vanquish. Thats outrageous!

Thank you, def have to have a look at Take a break bingo, we had a brillaint run the 1st time the free bingo sites were out, think I've signed up yo most then, did about 30 sites!!

That Vanquis one........I only opened it to get £20.00 back via Quidco, but it ended up being used for car repairs, but dads giving me a wack off that, so hopefully that should be done in 3 mths, then its account closed.

Thank you again, to be honest I hit rock bottom earlier this yr, and figured theres only one way to go and thats up, get frustrated that I got in so much of a mess, but its done, so new outlook I will clear my debt. xx

Hi mum2one...the spending diary is a good idea.
If you are larger like myself..Matalan,tesco and Asda all do bigger sizes.The bingo sites are a good idea as well.You sound really motivated and that's half the battle.We can all only try our best as we can't do any better than that.

Thank you, had a couple of things from Matalan, ours doesnt do much in Rodgers and rodgers, the weight is another thing that needs a kick up the bum, but rome wasnt built in a day. Have to confess a 24 doesnt fit and thats usually what our Tesco (if ur lucky) and Asda do.

Well you can join me in shifting the blubber! I need to get down from a 22/24/26 (depending on style/make and whether it is a top or trousers! I can actually get into a 14/16 top *sigh*)

Just gone through my money for January and with the small increase on CB, and some changes with my IS, I will have a total of £880.00 for the month, considering I thought I was going to be £22.00 short for he month, I'm actually up £10.00 so that will be another £10.00 to chuck at the biggest debt.

Hi Mum2one :wave:

Thought I would pop by. Good news on the budget. £32 up already and still a whole moneymaking month to add some more to the £5k challange.
