You are definitely on a mission to clear that credit card! Keep it up and it'll feel so good once it's goneFirst home- Oct’16 until June’21: £170.995- Overpayments made £13,784 (25% extra!).
New forever home- Sep’21 £309,449 @ 2.05%. Plan to clear it before 30 years!!!!!!0 -
Just checked CC2 balance and it says £134.21, not £114.99 as I'd calculated, I'll check again tomorrow just in case 1/2 payments haven't cleared yet, but if not I'll adjust my total and put it down to wampy maths on my part!
Child benefit in overnight, but a few palpay payments out, so accounts adjusted. Was going to go 80+ miles to a big town today (joys of rural living) - but I'm saving the fuel and will have a quick look online to see if I can get anything that way.
Need to nip to local town (still 40 miles!!) to collect a delivery and get some milk to see us though to Mr T delivery tomorrow. Might take in a walk on the beach as well, blow some cobwebs away.
Can't believe how fast this holiday is going, 5 days and back to work. Hopefully get some survey action today.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Quick trip to get milk done, cashed in a £2 scratchcard from Christmas and asked for it in 50p, so they will go in the 50p tin. Used a £5 voucher towards it and also picked up a vastly reduced birthday gift for January at £4.
Told the littlies they can have a very lazy day and do whatever they want to do.
Also need to research good apps for their Fires - any advice? I don't mind paying a few pound for a good one for spelling / maths etc..DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Thank you for the app suggestion, I ended up getting so frustrated with them, I've complained and we can return them for a full refund, so we will get them eye-pads later in the year.
Downloaded an app called receipt hog today to scan receipts into and get pennies for that, figure it's money for not a lot!
Got lots of fresh air today by the coast and it was lovely!
Hope you all have a lovely NYE and all the best for 2017!
I will be in the land of nod as DS will still be up at 4.30ish regardless!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

you should register with Shop and Scan, once you get accepted you scan your shopping each week and upload copies of your till receipts. they give you points which you can cash in for vouchers for amazon, argos and many other stores.
