I have to phone Barclaycard and give them my bank details so they can transfer the refunded ppi, but they work office hours and I've been so busy at work this week I've not had a chance. How frustrating.
Saying that I have made a massive £95 payment to Studion. My balance is now down to £31512/04/2019

Yes overtime was paid out and I've managed to update all my payments before anybody starts shouting at me. I even paid Studio a little extra
Managed to phone Barclaycard in my lunchtime today so hopefully the money will be in my account in the next few days. Am still waiting for Halifax and Pet Insurance rebate but one out of 3 isn't bad!!!!!
Also had letter today to say Child Benefit is going up from next month so that's a little bit extra for all us moneysavers. Tax credits tomorrow and I'm hoping that I can transfer a little £10 into Studio. Will have to see tomorrow!12/04/2019

Nothing off the postman today other than adverts for local supermarkets. Still waiting for the pet insurance refund, the barclaycard money and the Halifax money. I did manage to pay another £10 off studio though so the balance is down to £305 now. I've noticed that Quidco are going to pay me £15 this month so once that hits the account I'll transfer it over. That'll take Studio to under £300. I'm quite happy with that amount12/04/2019

I'm trying to keep focused but it's not working very well at the moment
I'm really motivated to get Studio paid off (I always am when I get paid) I just want everyone to pay up so that I can start to initiate some transfers.

Am absolutely gutted. Have had letter off Halifax this morning to say that the ppi is only £136 including interest
really wanted it to be at least £500. Have also had my fine through - £60. I know I shouldn't grumble about the Halifax money as it was money I wasn't expecting it's just when I knew it was coming I'd inflated the figure in my mind.
Good news though I've managed to sell 2 of the 5 items I placed on Amazon last night. Only made a few pounds but everything counts.12/04/2019

Despite my disappointment have checked my Halifax account and true to their word they have refunded the money so I've paid £20 off the Studio account. My balance is now just under £300
Off to update my signature.
