I've got a big 'to do' list for today:

Sort and prep the pile I have accumulated to go on ebay
Maybe listing if I get a chance
Reach £15 on 2 survey sites so I can cashout
Maybe reach £5 on another so I can cashout
Clean kitchen
Clean bathroom
Strip and remake beds
Vacuum
Get up to date with admin and tidy desk
Sort and tidy packaging materials
Put washing away
Update declutter list etc"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
I was blessed with little miss's stomach bug at the weekend, and although I felt better on Monday, I felt bad again Tues and Wed so haven't achieved anything much this week. I'm feeling better today so hope to crack on."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Another thing ticked off the list :j"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Well done Jwil you seem really motivated at the moment. Your putting me to shame with your decluttering. I really need to declutter, I don't know where it all comes from but I do know most of it isn't mine:mad:.0

Thank you. It would be amazing if I could get 50% knocked off :j
I read something yesterday that a creditor can apply any redress to the account even if it has been partially settled, so I'm not going to count my chickens until I receive a cheque or something and it will just be a nice bonus if I do get something!
I'm not sure what you mean by "apply any redress to the account even if it has been partially settled."
Do you mean that if creditors accep F & F offers and then you claim PPI, they can keep the PPI towards the debt as it was only partially settled?
You're doing well with your ebay listing and de-cluttering.

Thank you pennyYes, I know what you mean, most of it's not mine any more either, though I do still have a fair bit to go.

Just googled and came up with this: https://beatmydebt.com/news-articles/can-a-bank-use-my-ppi-compensation-to-pay-off-debt
Looks like they can but you might be able to argue against it with a F&F. Mine was written off so I can't see how I'd have a claim."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
