One step forward, one step back. Went out last night for a friend's gig, and what was meant to be one drink max turned into an Uber home at 3am after a fairly wild (by my standards) night. Spent lots of money on booze. Oops! So other than the London trip, no more social spending for me this month.CC1: £689.61/£789.61 (started 29/10/18, last updated 31/10/18)

Hello :j
Just stumbled across your diary.
I'm in a similar situation and hoping to have my debt cleared by 2020 too.
Subscribing and cheering you on. :T0 -
Congrats on the credit rating and well done on shuffling money around so successfully - it's amazing what a little bit of concentrated effort can do and how much 'tidier' everything feels after

I hope your wild night out (and 3am does sound really hardcore for me too, although I'm also in my twenties) was hugely enjoyable and that you've taken some fun memories - those unexpected nights are usually among the best!£1860 /£2500 CC
