    Just collected £10 worth of 20p's so that will come off my total.

    I may not be around after tomorrow for about a week, they are talking about admitting me into hospital. I've got to go in tomorrow morning at 9am but I'm not sure if I will have to stay in or not.

    If I don't post on here again then good luck for the next week everyone - I want to see that your debts have dramatically dropped within the week :D

    Hope you're Ok and that you get better soon. In true MSE style, think of the money you'll save on food while in Hospital!:T

    I haven't made any progress today - although yesterday I saw a thread on mobile sims with cash back and ordered two (one for me and one for OH) through Quidco, earning £20.00 each time (cost £1 each so £38 profit) then got £10 on each top-up free (£11 including £1 initial cost) then because I referred OH we each got an extra £5 top-up. All in all for a £2 stake I got £40 cash and £32 worth of top-up. Not bad eh?
    Also Home Insurance was up for renewal so £60 cash back on that (£10 more than cheepest premium so technically £50 profit).
    I have £100 in Quidco tracking so that can be paid off in October (won't add it to total paid until it's in my account).

    Not a bad Sunday nights work.
    Total Debt November 2016 =£9,660.52 :mad:

    Monthly Repayments = £593.09 :eek:

    Goal to be debt free December 2017/ Savings £500 :T

    Hi Emily - just wanted to do a small thread hijack :) to say hope you feel a bit better soon and hope you don't have to be in hospital for long (if at all). I'm reading this thread with great interest because even though I'm not joining in exactly, I'm going head to head with hubby to see who can raise £500 the quickest, so I'm basically lurking and pinching all the best ideas - I am SO going to win hahaha!! Take care, thinking about you, love Snaggles xx

    Hello!!

    I managed to escape a stay in hospital. It seems that the antibiotics are working even though they thought that it wouldn't :j :j

    I probably shouldn't get too excited though, I've got to go back on Monday to see my proper consultant who is back from his hols.

    Anyway, I'm around for another week at least and I'm off sick so I'm going to go through my house room by room looking for some Ebay items :D

    I want to try and get my total to below £800 by next Monday.
