  • I love how you are posting positive points! That makes do much sense, sometimes I get bogged down and fretting that pay day seems such a long way away! With regards to your recipe ideas try looking at resourceful cook or the be food smart, fit4life app. Both have recipe suggestions, help you meal plan and compile your shopping list! It's really helped as I was one of the nip to the supermarket for a couple of things and blow £20-30 easy brigade. Saving that way makes a big difference towards repaying debts when your food budget is down to £80-100 a month! Good luck! I'm aiming to clear 3k off one of my cards this year. We will see.

  • Thank you for the good luck, guna need it! I presume you do all the usual cashback sites and surveys etc? I find with very little effort it's money in the bank. TBC is great - I'm on £180+ and I've curbed my spending majorly. I also have an app on my phone where you get 10p for just pressing a couple of buttons outside a shop and "checking in" I always forget but if you did it religiously you could add an easy £1-2 to your fund every month. Not much I know but when it's for doing nothing you can't stick your nose up! My surveys are slow at the moment, I keep getting rejected but with little effort I've made £30 in the last 6 months which I put toward clothing treats! When I say little effort I mean doing every survey I get invited to for a week or so and the slacking off for the rest of the month! I could make loads more if I was a little more focused... It all sounds so easy when you write it down!!
