Hi Pixie,
TCB is topcashback it's a website you sign upto that gives you cash back on things you may be purchasing anyway. It has everything from insurance to utilities to catalogues and holidays you just go to topcashback website sign up then click through to your normal shop from there site and earn cashback. It can take a while to pay out and sometimes things don't track so it's best to use it as a bonus and not as a given. Hope that makes sense.

I use it for stuff I would be buying. It can be a bit of a trap if you see it as 'if I buy this I get x amount of cashback' because you are spending money you dont need to, so I only ever use it on stuff I would be buying, such as insurance and utilities. Managed to make a bit over Christmas with the children's presents and some flowers I sent my Nan, so should have a few extra £££ to pay off my CC soon.
Thanks for the explanation guys! I’ll check it out tomorrow. I can’t sleep due to coughing, so am having a quick catch up!
Well done everyone.

Hi Muppets
I'm going to step out of this challenge because I decided to use all my savings and clear my debt - feel like I cheated because I had planned to pay from salary but glad it's gone. Good luck everyone.0 -

Congrats on your Debt Freedom Munchin!!!:D:D:D
Could you not stay in the challenge and repay yourself your savings as part of the challenge?0 -
Hi Eyebright - thank you. That is a great idea as I’m very nervous that I’ve wiped out my savings.0
