    Still here, still plodding away! Debt is under £15,000 now (currently £14816.38 to be exact) with the majority of minimum payments already paid out this month. It’s been a good eBay and survey week, with £5 from vypr and Enlightly and £15 from SurveyBods. I’ve made about £100 in eBay sales after fees too (remind me never to put so many items on at once though, Monday was a busy day package wise!).

    I’ve also got a few more sidehustles lined up for May. By that point my maternity leave will have ended and I’ll be on annual leave, meaning I’m able to have ‘another’ job without it affecting maternity pay etc. So I’m going to be a vote counter in my local bielections one evening. One good thing about the debt busting has definitely been trying to think more creatively about where to bring in extra cash.

    That figure is certainly going in the right direction.
  • Well done on getting it below £15,000 and good thinking with the extra little jobs lined up.
    August 2019 - Debt £8000

    Saving Pots: House Fund: £2015.21 Holiday Pot: £327.31 Rainy Day Fund: £964.84 Sod it/Treat Fund: £12.06
    Stocks and Shares ISA: £189.65
  • Thanks so much Impulse! I can definitely see my mindset changing in terms of constantly looking to up my income :D
