  • So CC2 is sitting at 145.47 after my purchase of the bowls, but both refunds in process from the tablets, so I'll stalk the automated balance line this week and then CC2 will be gone... so excited (sad I know)

    TCB has been sitting at nearly £50 confirmed for what seems like forever, with another £28ish sitting as tracked.

    Right best go play with the littlies - board game overload at the moment!

    You've been so busy! A shame the tablets were no good but wise to return them. Great news that CC2 is almost done with.

  • Despite saying I wasn't going to touch the am@zon pennies until next year for Christmas, I've given in and bought two pairs of PJ's for next Christmas as they were massively on offer. So not buying just anything, but just earlier than I planned to!

    Bit more cashback has tracked, over £50 now sitting at confirmed- come on TCB.

    No survey action at all tonight except £3 on pcone tracking, so put the withdrawal request in for that.

  • 25p on y0ug0v meaning my total is at £32.75.

    Friday and work is beckoning. urgh (think of the money DFOD!!)

    Two jobs I need to decide whether to apply for over the weekend, one part part time, the other for 18 hours a week, would be a pay reduction and not term time.. decisions and oh to have a crystal ball.

  • Really motivated now to get on and kick this final CC. CC1 currently at £1155.59 which is so close to the credit limit of £1200. Probably not much more I can do with this one this month really. Nothing else that needs to go on there although this is the one I use for paying for food and petrol and anything else really just to get the clubcard points. Am wishing Jan away just so I can start making payments against this CC!
