Am a bit bored today so i thought id do a history of what ive paid off, how ive paid stuff off, and anything i thought was a key moment.
Having looked at the first month or two of savings, WHAT A MESS, money being transferred around several accounts, late payment fees, calls to banks haggling for lower rates, fees to be refunded (which led to me sueing the halifax), free cinema tickets which ended up costing me more in tram fare!, referral schemes that got me 50 of a 100 quid i applied for, entering loads of contests and so far only winning a "washing up powder set of dolls".
The list goes on.
No one can say money saving isnt boring, in fact its almost like a second career (apart from the endless nights sat at home).
I think ill leave this write up for today because its sunday, and id rather do something else!
Also im proud to say that i am proof that consolidation debts can work, but you have to stick to your budget and in the end, while the loans companies are evil , people have to take responsibility them selves.
Finally, in unrelated news, had a phone call friday about an IT role paying up to 25k, ive got my fingers crossed as ive been put forward for the role and apparently i match the spec there after
That money would be put to good use (1.5k a month ish?)

Good Luck in the Job!

See if you can take a lower wage but more perks? If you go to the gym, get them to pay for it and stuff like that.
