    Whilst writing my thesis has several drawbacks it has allowed me to spend a bit less money without having to try which has been lovely(ish).

    So, 29.50 extra payment which I'm rather pleased with. Next few weeks will be harder due to various things that are already planned but hey, one week at a time :)

    And I'm still pretending my student loan doesn't exist until I earn enough that they ask for it! :p

    £7.29 extra payment towards Argos store card. I bought a laptop last year but returned it. It wouldn't charge up properly, I had intended to BNPL, anyway Argos credited my account, then I noticed on this months statement they has charged me £53.56 interest charges, when I telephoned them they couldn't understand how it had happened they charged for the laptop, however a full refund was given, but it shows that you must check your statements.
