Thanks Vix 😀 Not much progress today, a measly 22p on Qmee (plus some YouGov but no point counting that as I can't withdraw it, plus 100 points on i-Say as I thought I may try persevering - of course now I'm 1/5 of the way towards the next fiver, I'm definitely going to 🤣!)
Have been reading greent's diary from the start and just spotted a post I put on back in January which mentioned that my plans for the year were sounding modest compared to other MFW's....I had plans??? Will have to try and dig out where they were written down!!!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

£100 is very impressive, i wonder what the most is anyone has ever made in a month and if that could be sustainable over a long period🤔Aiming to be mortgage free in 3 years June 2023.

Thanks TnT, this month has been a bit of a perfect storm! I've read the "make £10 a day" thread on DFW quite a few times before, and some of the sums they make on there are extraordinary. Don't think I could keep up with all the different things some of them do!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Have just cleared the balance of the credit card from the EF 😀😀😀 Was planning on clearing it this month anyway when the money comes through from work, so I just thought "what the h*ll, I'll do it now!!!" Very exciting!
Free money now diverting towards filling that back up (but will be starting with replenishing the petrol pot, as when I logged on to my online banking I discovered I was £21 overdrawn from my phone bill coming out 😮 Had definitely already paid it this pay-month, but possibly the first payment was collected on a different date because it was the first-ever payment. Fortunately petrol pot was there to save the day! And a good job I was logging on to empty my savings as well so I could spot it....🤣)Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Yay to £0 balance on CC!
I think a lot of the make £10 a day people may not have day jobs - and when you think about it, £10/day isn't great money! You're doing great as it is! But I've found that it's hard to keep the momentum up - lots of payouts come along at the same time and it feels excellent but then it's a long slog to the next one.Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Thanks Vix ❤ I'm already pretty sure next month won't be anything like as successful, doing the S&S food diary for 2 weeks massively helped to boost that total! Plus, next month I REALLY should be looking for a new job, or BF will murder me....
Credit card app hasn't updated with my new balance yet, but it does show the available balance as £10,500 😀Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
