  • I think I have around £80 left to find, I don't mind if I have to take the last bit from my SPC though as it is much better than £400! Going to list lots of things to sell later today and hopefully that will cover some of it.

  • You will make that £80 in no time the way you are going!
    September 2017 Debt = £25330

    Starting afresh.

    DD came out for CC at £40 so my total paid is now at 32%. I'm paying minimums but that's as far as it really goes at the moment. I find that once I have gone a few weeks past receiving my student loan and being able to pay money off my debts then I lose focus for a while. I guess because I can't really do anything towards my debts I just lose interest a little.

    Oh well, give it another 2 months and I will have my only remaining interest charging debt cleared and another 20% gone forever.

    I finally have some money showing as payable on TCB, my problem now is that for some reason I can't seem to withdraw it, every time I click the payable box next to BACS it just takes me to my profile information. If anyone knows how I can get the money in my account then I would appreciate some advice on where I am going wrong. I've given up for now as I am just getting frustrated with it,

    I don't have much else to update. I haven't been very strict with myself over the last few weeks so I am just trying to get extra income from wherever I can find it. 3 very small sales on ebay, I am trying to declutter as I have so much stuff around the house.

    Hope everyone is well, I must stop by some diaries when I get chance to check in!

    Thank you Wannabe, I'm not in a great place with my mental health at the moment but I'm trying to just push through it. Hope you're well.

    Using IE rather than Chrome has allowed me to cash out, £66 heading my way. Still around £80 pending. Will leave this in my account to cover overspends mentioned previously.

    Glad you got it sorted, I had no idea which is why I didn't reply about it.

    Hopefully makes things easier for you once it hits the bank.

    Take your time and look after yourself

  • I just need to let out some thoughts somewhere, feel free to skip by I just need to let it all out somewhere more than anything, I will no doubt return to delete this as its not really related to my finances except that when I feel down I tend to spend more to try and make myself feel better.

    For the last couple of weeks I have been feeling really down, usually I just crack on and pull myself out of it within a day or 2, I hate feeling sorry for myself, but at the moment I just can't seem to shift it and I can't find the motivation to help myself.

    I feel so alone but at the same time I am doing nothing to help. I like to think that I am a good friend to those who I love, I am always there when they need me and I offer my help and support without even being asked. The last couple of weeks neither of my two closest friends have really bothered to check up on me even though I have been pretty much completely silent and not myself. This is making me completely question my friendships, I don't have many close friends to begin with.

    I also have no energy or motivation, if it wasn't for DS then I genuinely would have nothing to get up for.

    I'm sure I will snap out of it shortly.
