    Bit late to the party but I agree about adding the £50, it's 'new' money so counts.  Well done on getting below £2k

    I'm taking a bit of a break at the moment. Just felt like I needed a week to just chill out and watch TV, read etc, and not have to worry about grabbing articles and getting them written. I've been doing a few surveys, but I have just been taking it easy really, getting on top of the housework etc. I will get back to it from Monday, and I think the break will renew my enthusiasm.

    I've just paid another £6 off the card, so the balance is now £1,914.94.

    I am enjoying my week off, but I have been doing a few surveys.

    Good news on my credit card - I have actually met my target for June!! Around Christmas time, my OH bought his dad some racing tickets for August. We were a bit low in the account at the time, so I put them on my credit card. The event has been cancelled, so they have given me a refund. I have also paid £7 off the card today, so the balance is now £1,710.44. Will see if I can get it down a bit lower before July. Maybe aim for under £1,600.
