    I am going to fight it Abba. Honestly one thing after another. I will say when I left the car it was fine and everything not a scratch from when I had it.

    Got £10 amazon voucher so will add that to my dads. When I get the £15 that can be his bday completed. Will get £25 for his bday n a small gift like chocolates lol. xx

    No news yet about my car hire :/ received letter regarding the incident about my car and said will not need to worry about paying them for costs as the other will cover... I should think so as well!!!

    VO at £13 hope to reach abt £14 today and cash out £15 for my dad.

    Think next will go for Tesco vouchers. Try get £20 for somethings.

    Awaiting confirmation for £20 from a survey I had taken part in and also £50 in mail from new vista. Worried this will have to go to hire car :(. Hopefully can go right into my house deposit try get that back up xxx

    You are doing so well with your surveys - I'm really impressed how much you get through them! I struggle to find the time (and sometimes the motivation) to do them but once I get started I'm on a roll.

    I love that you set goals for certain vouchers and just keep hammering away to cover the costs of events. I might try to do this - but will need to think about it some more.
    CC1: £4481.14/ £5031.14 (12% paid off, £600) | CC2:£3307/ £3807 (14.4% paid off, £550) | Loan: £10,528.20/ £15,792.30((33% paid off, £5,264))

    July debt total: £24,630.44 | New debt total: £18,316.34 | Total debt paid: £6,414.10 (26%)

    Honestly Jojo it helps so much. When they arent birthdays coming up, I intend to save up vouchers so if something I forget I have it covered. I have a tendancy to remember birthdays though. After my dad its my niece in April so prob start saving them towards that anyway lol xxx
