    #293's EF slowly creeping up with a prolific payout and 1.31(!) from Quidco. Waiting for a delay repay cashback.
    I'm always torn between paying more to my credit cards vs EF though, as it seems like a drop in the ocean.
    EF: 28.90/1000

    Two train delay repay payments have come through and gone straight to EF. A couple more submitted in the last few days (thanks SWR!).
    Ruined the effect somewhat by paying for a holiday cottage rental on the CC that I had come so close to clearing. Husband will be paying half so will chase him for that (and actually pay it off the card rather than going: ooh money!)
