That's going to help my total so much.
Oh and paid £3.07 off my loan this morning to round it down0 -

Cash - £ 48.23 Vouchers - £ 30
Wombling into 2020 £38.780 -
I found I got more by maxing on the games. It eats your total up but when it's bonus money anyway it's not too bad.
I had trouble withdrawing as it said I needed ID (already sent them ID a few months ago), had it verified this afternoon and it still wouldn;t let me past the withdrawal ID bit. Thankfully a quick bit of help from live support and it's hopefully winging it's way back to my bank account.
Doing the same now with the £14 I have sitting in Totesport bingo that wont let me withdraw. I'm nagging CS hoping they sort it for me.
Need to go have a scout round for ebay items.0 -

Well done Yuk - that will really help your totals. I gave up on TAB when it all went into bonus money, i might have to continue playing now.The very best things in life ... are free!

Well done stressed.mum
Hayley I just thought if it was free money and it takes seconds to do every morning then it was worth even the 10p.
Today has definitely proved it was worth it.
I also got my money from Totesport withdrawn after I deposited to be able to withdraw.
Three items sold on ebay as well so all in all a good money making day. Wish they were all like this.
I have to
-pay the loan#
-pay for xmas
- get some spending money for out holida next month
- pay for time in london this weekend
So need to think on which way to approach all this without being skint0 -
£4 paid off this morning. Small chunks that I'm not missing too much at the mo.
Am still thinking on how to tackle the above as a whole and still get the end result as quickly.
I requested £20 amazon from dooyoo yesterday and £10 amazon from CP today so this will all help the xmas fund.0 -
Well done on all these payment, and hooray for the bingo win. I stopped doing the TAB scratchcards when the winnings went into bonus money. Maybe I should start up again though!
Nice once, getting your shelves too.

Yesterday was horrible, DD moved from the baby room to the big girls and boys room at nursery and they had to take her from me screaming (she has always gone in so happy before).
That sent me to work crying, it was so horrible.
Work was pants as it was a very political day and I wasn't able to cope with it so was on edge of tears all day. Then I made a mistake doing someone else's work that I'm covering for a month (not qualified, don't knwo what I'm doing and getting paid no extra for doing it). I wasn't too worried about making the mistake as it can be fixed but even so it tipped the scales a bit. Also so busy at work doing two people's jobs in my own part time hours. I just wanted to walk out yesterday but obviously can't.
Don't want to go back in today esp if DD cries going into nursery again.
Phew that's better.
Two ebay parcels to post today later and it's loan day today so a decent chunk will come off.
I was playing with a spreadsheet last night and offsetting everything against the loan and I don't have to find much more to be able to pay it off. I do need to take into account xmas and our holiday so that will set me back a bit, but I'll keep playing with the figures as it's very motivating.0 -
Good to see you back Primula
Loan payment gone, new total £1428.30 :j
The interest is comeing down nicely. Hopefully next month it'll be under £20.
So far I have paid £143.26 in interest instead of £205.43 according the the snowball if I hadn't overpaid.
Happy with that!0
