  • Finally got all my interest and payments up to date, I'm still under the 6K mark :) Or at least, I will be once my payment from mystery shopping goes through. Yay! Don't want to break that barrier again so need to get my belt very tight this month. And get that CV sorted....

  • After a bit of a search last night I finally found my last CC statement so my grand total is *drumroll*

    #251 70/5798.84

    Thanks to those who asked about my CC (running out of lunchbreak time to look for the user names - sorry!) I'll have a look at the link you posted when my computer's fixed. I was told I wouldn't be able to internet bank with them because of my DMP but I need to have a proper look into it - I do love my internet banking!!

    Still going good on the weekly challenge. Had some carrots and mushrooms on their last legs so turned them into a soup (bit salty but will suffice) Only had enough bread for lunch sandwiches so cooked some potato waffles, cut them up & mixed them in - very tasty!! :rotfl:

    Just found £10 in an old account I had for matched betting :j:j:j

    New total:

    011 £845 / £3,895 21.69%

    Only a tiny difference, but better paid off my debt than sitting in the bookies account! Will have to check all the others (if I can remember them all) :think:

    I've just paid off my biggest Credit Card of £1000 today :) so thats the £500 one gone the £1000 one gone (although they have just put it up to £1500!!!) Next is the store card! Would be great to pay that off with eBay sales this month- I think thats just less than £300! Come on free listing weekend! Once thats gone its the interest free overdrafts that need going and the payments to debt company- so close yet so far!


    So: Number 180 checking in having paid another £200 off debts: New Total= £1624/ £10000 16.24% :j
    £20 a day April 2014 £834.87/£600 :j
    £20 a day May 2014 £108.45/£600

    Could you make them into some kind of chic garden feature? A bit like a mosaic or something similar?
