Hi everyone,
I've not been around this thread for quite some time now! I still can't believe how much time was taken up by the wedding, but it's been & gone now & I am a married lady, & now it's time to tackle our debt head on! I figured this would be a good place to start as I always found this thread so helpful, it's nice to see so many familiar names still kicking around on here, hope you're all ok
Thank you KJP for starting us off & a belated happy birthday/anniversary to Ziggy.
So today I have/will:-- All food from stores
- Make use of free water at work
- Log calories using free app
- Charge phone at work
- Check online banking
- Make budget for August to see how much we can pay off next month
- Update signature with shocking amount of debt thanks to a wedding & fabulous honeymoon :eek:
- 1 hour min of decluttering
- Respond to wedding venue - they are trying to charge us more...*sighs*
- Look into cost of doing AAT

Great advice from La E. I have been really lucky with surveys recently. £80 in 4 weeks. But that inc a week long forum for £35
I hope everyone is well. I am hating being at work while hubby is off with our girlies having fun

I try to offset it by selling other things and mystery shopping. Next one on the cards is BIL - usually always gets £25 amazon voucher so I'm on a mission to make £25 in the next month for him. That's definitely one I can't get out of - they always get my OH the same back so it's kinda expected.
Thanks for the advice, La escocesa! Doing surveys and things is something I need to think about doing, just not sure where to start!02 0% £719.20 £559.36
