One credit card, eradicated!
It crept up inbetween but it's gone now. Because we kept putting money in the ISA we didn't have enough cash for 'emergency' purchases. We now have £200 kept aside for these moments, learning as we go!2 Credit Cards: PAYDBX 2018 - #131 £1566.37 / £8594.48 18.2%0 -

Nope KP I'll look into Surveys. I mystery shopped for a bit but taking out time and travel it cost me more than I was getting. E bay I just can't make no money on it maybe I'm not very good but in the end it made more sense to keep my stuff rather than give it away for buttonsTotal debt £18,000 at the start of DFW Journey. 2018 14TH JULY 2021 DEBT FREE / 2026 struggling
