Wow, I can't believe it's been nearly 2 years since I last posted!Things have changed a bit for me, I'm actually looking to buy a house! I currently rent and we are looking at moving areas. We still have debt, so need to clear a big chunk before we can apply for a mortgage.
In the last few weeks I've signed up to more survey and cashback sites and already have made £75, so I'm really pleased with that.I'm going to try and regularly update my diary to keep me motivated!0 -
Welcome back! I used to follow your diary so it's good to see you again.
How exciting to have a house of your own on the horizon! And well done on the surveys and cashback, that's a brilliant start.

I remember you both! Thanks for your replies. I'm excited and feel it's closer than it's ever been but need to shift some more debt to be able to get a mortgage.1

Thank you so much. I think when they changed it on here, I struggled to get the hang of it a bit! I just need to clear a bit more debt before we can can get a mortgage but it feels a lot closer than before. Just trying to find other ways to make more money and fast 😂pennywisepoundstupid said:Hi debtaghh, good to see you back posting, i'm also back after a short break.
