Uncertain path to being mortgage free - My diary

Got a refund from the RS 5 sale today so I can now either top up my savings or clear my credit card or make a big OP.
Think I may clear the CC as it never seems to move from £2-3k. I'll use the rest to enjoy.
I also got a £128 refund from my insurance and a £26 refund from Sky today. Pay day next Friday as well. Financial life is looking ok.
Well the CC is gone!As of 23/05/14

Not much progress to report really. The odd OP here and there. Going to focus on a £3,500 loan I have which is at 8.8%APR then hit the mortgage again.As of 23/05/14

Just read your diary...
Congratulations on the pay rise and bonus. I think you owned my DH's dream car, he would love an Audi RS0 -
The RS 5 was incredible but so expensive. Glad I've done it but won't be doing anything that again for a while.
Going to get more financially safe first. I think for my 30th I will get myself another little present. Until then money saving time.As of 23/05/14

Made a £700 payment to my loan this month so it is around the 3k mark now. Should have it paid off in no time so I can hit into the mortgage again and build up the savings pot slowly.As of 23/05/14
