    I've read your diary and lurked.  Going by how many days until you're debt free that's £26.55 per day to clear it!  You've done so well!

  • Glad you're starting to feel better, it does seem to be a nasty virus that's going around.   I am so looking forward to celebrating your DF day with you. We will all be cheering for you. Hopefully you'll get a lot more studies form P/lfc and be able to get there even sooner.  I had a couple yesterday, which was a surprise on a Saturday.

    Thanks for reading, I’m so glad I started the diary and update every day, even when there’s not much to report. It keeps me honest and focused on the debt clearing. It won’t be £26.55 every day but that’s probably what it equates to.

    I’m astonished how much I have accumulated from surveys and such. Keeping a track of it makes me realise it’s worthwhile and the amount of extra payments at the debt is a wonderful feeling

  • Happy Monday everyone! It's bloomin' cold this morning and I am glad I have nowhere to be today.  I can see that the smart meter display will end up with a high cost today! 

    My PAD today was £1 to CC7, I am away from Thursday afternoon so I want to reserve money for my trip away as it starts before I get paid :D  Today will be a NSD for me, again due to saving for my weekend away.

    My credit score apps have started to tell me about my new FD account and as predicted the scores have dipped, but not a lot and I am still in the excellent range so I am OK with that. 

    Have a good day all

  • Are you having a problem with CC today? I got an email telling me about bonus points today, but every time I try and log in it says something went wrong.

    Been cold and raining here all day too. Not the best of days to be a window cleaner in Somerset.

    It appears I have jinxed myself and now it’s not working 🙁
