Well £20 paid off here today, which brings it under another 100 mark. Am at a dead end for where I am going to get more money from though, no inspiration at the mo.
Well done Yukkibear, it feels so great to get it under a hundred mark doesn't it?! You're doing so well, keep up the good work!
I'm starting to run out of ideas too, might start giving Dooyoo another go, but I get fed up easily! :rotfl:
I think with me its going to have to be a case of cutting back rather than raising income as there's just nothing left to sell! xMortgage when started (Dec 2013): £157,272.50
Current mortgage (date): £156,885.56
Mortgage free day: Dec 20430 -
It's good to see that total gradually coming down- well done.
Unfortunately I don't have any inspiration at the moment either!2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0 -
Glad it's not just me with the lack of inspriation then lol.
I have been doing ok with dooyoo, but I can't use that money as it's all going to OH's xmas pressie.
I think I need to cut back rather than make as well as my food bills are creeping back up again. I was doing well with the meal planning and then it fell apart so I need to get that done again.
I spent £45 this morning in Boots.com and bought three xmas pressies on the 342 so hopefully all round will save me some money there, went through topcashback and got free delivery so all good there.0 -
Did you get your dooyoo cheque yet?
Well done on the xmas pressies, very organised of you. I have so far written a list of who needs presents and that was scary enough!0 -
No no dooyoo cheque yet, have been waiting over a month now, I really must email them.
I don't want to allocate any money to the loan when we are going to need presents so I figure if I get it out of the way then it'll be easier0 -
I guess I should make a list of people to buy for at Christmas and see what I've already got. I'm not in the mood but I need to focus so that I can look out for bargains.2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0

Indeedy that would be awful0

A small £6.02 paid off this morning. I think that'll be it unless anything miraculous happens this month. DD1 needs new school bits and dd2 needs new shoes so that's not going to be fun this weekend.0

At least it is something. I paid a pound yesterday but is better that than nothing. Good luck with the shoe buying.0
