Not sure if anyone did the thing that Crowdology posted on their fb- but the £10 has been paid already- only did it this afternoon- so a nice easy tenner there!

Edited to add: TOTAL DONE!
So here it is (Just hit target!)

I managed my aim of £5 per day for January and ended up just short of the £10 a day that I thought I had no chance of achieving!
Quidco 12.90
Tax Refund 48.95
MR T DTD 1.07
Mail Reward 5.00
Halifax Reward 5.00
Music Magpie 31.19
Roadkill 1.00
Ebay 100.00
Overtime 79.76
TOTAL £284.87
This amount was paid off a credit card bill - another 2 months and that one will be paid
I did apply some of my own rules - the E-bay amount was just what I transferred from Paypal, I actually sold more than that but I only transfer when it gets to £100 and I'm only counting money that is physically in my bank account. My overtime is any thing I earn from my job above the minimum that I factor into the househould budget.
The tax refund was the result of a uniform cleaning expense rebate - still some more to come from that one for earlier tax years and my tax code has been adjusted now so that should pop a bit extra into my pay each month.
I think I need to jump into February and declare £10 a day - it was easier than I thought and the result is very satisfying.January £5 per day £284.87/£155 February £10 per day £294.470 -
Not as good as I had hoped, but a much easier January then I have had for years with the help of a few extra pennies and the motivation to get some things cleared out. Off to Feb for another go!0

No its against oft guidelines to tell you to borrow or take a loan, what they would be offering is a refinance deal which is different. A sar would need to give a line in the letter asking for calls as well, normaly companys dont give as standard.
I would personally wait for it to be sold, then offer the dca half as full and finalDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0 -
