  • Morning all,

    So 2 more days until my Debt Free Day:j:j:j

    Cannot wait to make those final payments.

    As soon as they clear I am going to cancel the Barclaycard, no need to have a CC with a £12,500 limit as I am going to be a smart cookie from now on when it comes to money.

    Still haven't heard back from Opinion Outpost about them terminating my account :( Hopefully they will get back to me this week at some point.

    I had a lazy morning and came into work at 9.45am rather than 8am so will need to stay later to make the time back, sure I will be regretting this decision at 8pm when I am leaving work :rotfl:

    I am seriously impressed Deleted_User and it is good to see your plan mapped out. That is what I call goal setting!
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 100/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100
    Debt Free (again) 25/072025

  • Just got another £5 survey - super happy with that.

    It is a mobile and broadband one with a 2 day diary, well on my way to the next £50 cheque!

  • Oh also meant to add that I cashed out a £15 Amazon voucher so bought a bottle of tequila for my night out on Friday.

    This is for me and a couple of the girls from work, we always go out for dinner but end up just drinking tequila. We don't kid ourselves now so just take a bottle out with us - how cheeky :p

    Not paying £3 a shot in the pub no sireeeeeee :rotfl:

    Also because I bought it with my Amazon I am now £10 up in cash towards my night out - go me!

    Exciting times for you.

    Just a thought - rather than cancelling the BC, reduce the limit and use it and pay off the balance straight away. It is handy to have the cover a CC provides on bigger purchases and, managed well, will help your credit score when it comes time to submit that mortgage application. You could also look around for a CC that gives you rewards for using it and make that wee bit of plastic work for you.

    Whatever you decide, enjoy that final payment tomorrow!
