  • Need to keep more on top of the finances, feels like a full time job sometimes!

    I spend more time logging into my bank & scribbling all these notes down than I do anything else in life :p

    That's far better than completely ignoring it! I'm impressed at how on the ball you are. Inspiring! :T

  • It sure is & I think that is the big thing that has changed.

    Previously I would have waited till the day I needed the cash then been like oh I will just put this on a CC.

    In 2017 I am going to be a completely different person in regards to how organised I am & how I will be making much better financial decisions.

    I've been lurking reading your diary for a little while and wanted to say you seem really on top of everything - and amongst others yours is a bit of inspiration as I've still got a little way to go on my DF journey. :)

  • Woo just registered with yet another survey site, including the joining bonus I am now up to 5.10!

    Can withdraw when it gets to 40.00, I am hoping this good start continues cos I could do with as many fund top ups as possible.

    Oh also won the euromillions - 4.70 :j
