    Good Luck debtfree :j.
    Returned from the visit to my grandfathers very skint lol.
    Started today by stocking up on basics due to the awful weather. Looking outside of the window its pretty white out there. So will more than likely have a few NSDS.

    So have put the debt repayments on hold as have made the decision to move closer to family at the end of June. I am aiming to save £3K by then. I am also aiming to earn £400 in surveys. Aim big or go home I always say lol :rotfl:

    Goals for March:
    Put £750 in savings using all sources of money £3.53/£750
    Earn £100 from Qmee and Swagbucks:
    Qmee: £3.57/ £50
    Swagbucks 341 SB/ 8000SB
    Aim for 15 NSDS
    [STRIKE]Try not to let this month break me.[/STRIKE]

    Savings £3.53

  • Hi lovely!

    How's your grandfather doing? Must be a tough time for your family. I am glad you managed to get home in all this snow.

    When you say putting debt repayments on hold, what do you mean by that? Not paying at all or just making the minimums?

    Moving closer to your family seems to be very important to you. I totally understand that. Good luck with your savings targets. Your other goals for March are great!
    Emergency Fund: £300.01/£1000 (30%) March NST: 2/18 NSDs
    Tesco Loan: £3,877/£5000 Barclaycard: £3149.99/£3169.79
  • Debt free I am making the bare minimum £1 per debt! Dave Ramsey recommends that at baby step 0 you dont make any payments I think. To be fair my friend who I live with now only wanted me to stay here until end of March. Hes been very generous letting me stay. I feel I am taking advantage if you know what I mean?

    Granddad is doing okay. When I saw him the nurse said he was making tiny improvements.

  • If the food items are part of your budget, it counts as a NSD hun (I think).

    It seems to depend on different groups. On my facebook group I wouldnt consider it a spend as I used Survey money but on the MSE groups I am on its considered a spend! :huh:

    Today has been a lazy day. Tomorrow I will be going food shopping.
    Todays earnings
    Swagbucks 425! (I completed the swagoboard and all other things) which brings my swagbucks balance up to 450. I did have to cash out 450 of my swagbucks to complete swago but it was worth it.
    Qmee: £4.19
    Curious Cat £3.23
    So another good day.
