Hey yeah I just want to lump it into debt get it away lol plus I am doing savings for other things on side
! Once I go to America I will have an extra £125 a month as well which is good.
Anyway, 3 days until payday though not counting it until 9 days aka Chrsitmas day lol
! And 3 days and off for two weeks
I will try stay on but will not be as much though.
I got £2.50 today for surveys and 65 points away from £10 amazon from ipsos so hopefully soon! I ordered my son a robot dog as I had £7.50 amazon vouchers and it was £6. Little bit extra for him

Hi monz.
Just catching up with your diary, still in total awe of your money making from surveys. Sounds like you've got a good plan for next year. I like Aloof's idea of doing a 26 week saving plan - might do something like that for next year as don't think I could keep up the 52 weeks.
Hope your son likes his robot dog

thank you Twiggy. The 300 chunk will be from my weekly savings and in January I can start paying double the amount I am having to pay each month. My thoughts are just pay off sooner the better
