thats great about the mortgage too! i don't really get quidco - do you get clicks like pigsback or just cash back from buying?
think we are definitely stalking each other!! a virtual stalker is ok i reckon though!!0 -
Quidco you can have a daily 'search' on kelkoo.. easy 10p.. but that's 70p a week without spending a bean! Probably works out about the same as pigsback.

It wouldn't be so bad but we get paid monthly and payday is tomrorow so you can imagine how skint we are today!!! I had to transfer the few pounds I had in my savings account to cover it.
Made worse by the fact the bank for some unknown reason bounced one for £65 even though there was £167 in the account!! I need to phone and yell but it is such a hassle, especially as they all have thick accents and I don't understand them and they don't understand me!! It also had my cheque guarantee number on the back because I always put it on!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
i know i often forget swimming cheques - but not any more (i hope!!) i am good at yelling at banks and other people over the phone - have had credit from british gas, vouchers from m&s and free meal from chicago rock because of yelling!! oh and 20% knocked off of gas bill from someone else - its worth it!!0

Today is payday.
MOST of the bills have been covered this month. Still about 5 need paying this month, but they are due about 28th so I can stagger them throughout the month and keep some money now.
Anyway BIG announcment!!!
*******drumroll*******
My debt total is..
*****LESS THAN £20,000*****
£19937.50!!!!!!
I am TOTALLY delighted!! I am ahead of schedule.. need to update my 'snowball' file!!!!!!!
Ok, not a lot less than £20k.. but hey.. it is heading in the right direction!!!
I can't believe what a relief that number reduction is becoming.. I live for payday.. I am so sad lol.
