  • Evening all! Ebay item paid for me - £3.10 after fees and postage. Another £1 Lightspeed, and £2 tips last night :D

    I’m doing a car boot on Sunday, got 20 hours overtime over the next 2 weeks and waiting on about £50 of MS payments… so all in all, I’m quite hopeful about this month's challenge! Good job too, as our mortgage offer finally came today :D However it does mean we are officially SKINTO for the next 25 years now, so will need this challenge more than ever before haha... but will be worth it to have our own space. I'm very excited! Just applied for that Egg Money 1% cashback credit card which Martin recommends too - we’ve got a lot to pay out over the next few months for the house and wedding, so it will be nice to get some cashback for it!

    Hope you're all being good MSE'ers and making lots of spendoolies this week! Good luck for Sept everyone xx

    Attempting to pay off our debts! Balances Jan 2018 -
    Family member £3,700 - Virgin CC £1,000 - MBNA £1,700 - Barclaycard £2,500 (was £2,700) - Halifax CC £1,280
