    So I am pleased to say that I "think" I am doing pretty well with this debt busting mission.

    I had a bit of an expensive weekend due to my family being down from up North, so went out for meals etc, however I used my own money for that I did not use credit cards like I used too.
    Should have a couple of low cost weekends now up until payday, well providing my car passes its MOT. Always hate that time of the year, but doesn't everyone.

    I am going to see what I am left with the day before payday and then pay that to my loan. A payment has been made to it already which is the standard payment so I will update my signature in a moment, also have some more money in the mortgage savings with the OH.

    Also I am checking in and completed surveys everyday, all money made helps.
    :)

    Thanks MarylandCookie, How are you getting on?
    No better time like the present, I have been hanging onto this debt for ages and it is driving me crazy. Ideally I want it gone before I get a mortgage but I can't see that happening.

    I am going to try my best though. :)

    Cant wait its 13 days for me until payday! I am planning to not spend anything this weekend. If i can end up with money left as I get paid that will be good!!

    I don't spend any money in the week as I usually go to the gym which is already paid for :)

    Im off to do some surveys now before bed.

    Nothing really to report at the moment.
    I got my very late birthday card from my dad the other day, £40 inside which I have stashed away in my drawer until payday as it is money I would not have. :)

    I have my MOT tomorrow, not looking forward to that to be honest!!
    I get paid Tuesday so this MOT really does determine if I have money left before payday to chuck to my debts. Fingers crossed.

    I sold my laptop on Ebay as it was really slow, and we have a family iMac computer now so I wasn't really using it. Got £80 for it :) Again I have left that in my Paypal account because it is extra money so don't want to use any of it before payday. All MOT dependant what happens with this extra cash!!

    I have somehow locked myself out of my survey site which is annoying. Need to sort that out this evening!

    I will be back tomorrow to update on my MOT situation. EEEEK.

    Happy bank holiday weekend everyone!
