    Hey DrSpendLittle!

    I am still posting so I have come further than previous attempts, and I am still motivated to not add anything more to debt and continue with the surveys to help me get the debt down :)

    I will get there eventually!

    How are you getting on?

    haha! I totally didn't check my diary for yonks and missed replying to this! Its nearly a month late! :rotfl:

    I'm good thanks - successfully navigated my first month as a debt slayer and I'm all set up for October. Didn't have too many unexpected spends in September, only ynab subscription and first payment of new energy suppliers. Switched gas & elec and broadband and got some good deals. Managed to budget for a new boiler and big birthday this month too. So far, so good!

    I've just caught up with your diary and you look like you in control and things are going well. Excellent stuff!

    I have been so bad at updating on here :(

    Work and a holiday have got in the way, but that is no excuse! I am back and intend to start as I mean to go on!

    I am going to work out my totals and update, a few payments have come off of the loan, and the credit cards so the situation should be looking a little better now!

    I am still using the surveys sites as much as possible and I have just cashed out £10 on prolific academic, just waiting for it to hit my paypal account!

    We have been busy decorating our house, it’s been 2 years since we bought it, and it is still not complete mainly due to money! But we are getting there slowly!

    Worked a shift at my second job today so that will be more money straight into my wedding dress fund :)! Will also update the total of that too!

    Payday this week, looking forward to making some more payments :)
    Total debt to pay: £14,071.41/ Remaining debt: £12,884.12: Amount Paid: £1,187.29

    Your doing so well! :) Great about budgeting for the boiler, and big birthday!

    Switching to better deals on your utilities is brilliant too! You are on a roll :)

    I will catch up with your diary as soon as I can, it’s been a busy few weeks so I haven’t been on here :( no excuse I know! But I am not going to stop updating on here like I have previously!
