Third time's the charm...

I had a day like that yesterday, back to back calls from 10 until 2. Tomorrow will be similar. I try to block out at least 30 minutes at lunchtimes but sometimes it can't be helped. 

You're still doing amazingly well with the PADs and what fantastic news about bringing forward your debt free date.

I’m usually good at taking a break but everyone wants my time this week.

You are doing so well with NSDs and PADs. I need to get more organised on mine, I seem to have slipped a bit, somewhere along the way. 

Thanks, it’s easy to slip at this time of year with presents to buy etc. my strategy is to buy what I know I need if I have to spend, so as yesterday was a spending day I ordered a couple of Christmas presents I knew I wanted to get.

Morning everyone! I am officially on leave today until next Tuesday Which is the reason for the later than usual post.  I will be setting off shortly to pick up my sister for a weekend of retail therapy and uninterrupted girls talk  

I cashed out £3 from C-Cat this morning, I don't seem to be getting many lately where I don't get screened out which is frustrating but I am certainly not giving up. It's provided more than £40 towards my card debt in 1 month and that is definitely worth it in my book. 

Today isn't a NSD as there is fuel to buy and the hotel to pay for, we will also be eating out. Unlikely to have another now until next week.  My PAD was £6 to CC7 this morning, including the £3 from C-cats... I have over £16 in Prolific but only £2 is available, so I will keep my eye on that over the weekend. 

Now for the bad news... It looks like my laptop is coming to the end of a very long and loyal life. Things are slow, crashing and even though I have done a re-install and upgraded to the latest iOS it seems I will need to start a 'new laptop' savings pot.  I have had this one for 10+ years now so actually that's a long life for tech. It no longer holds any trade in value, even though in pristine condition    Fingers crossed that it can hold out until I've completed my debt-free journey! 

That's about it from me peeps.  Enjoy your Thursdays, I certainly intend to!

Up early for shopping and hurrah for pay day.  £300 sent to CC7 this morning as part of my PAD, there will not be a NSD in sight this weekend but I am OK with that as it is an annual trip that's planned for. It worked well paying up front for CC7 and then using PAD's to cover the minimum payment. 

No more of an update. There was about £40 more than normal in my pay so that's good, will probably be wiped out by the increased cost of everything lately though.

Have good (black) Friday's!

That’s a good hit of the CC balance LMD,
With it being planned/covered you’ll be able to enjoy your shopping so much more.

Well, I have been more than a little disappointed with the Black Friday sales offers and have so far hardly spent anywhere near what I had budgeted for. Anyway, at least I don't have to worry about spending for the rest of the weekend. 

I have managed to cash £10 out of Prolific and I have sent that over to CC7 just now

I didn’t notice anything great in the Black Friday sales. It’s not as good as it used to be pre Covid. That CC will soon be below £5k at this rate 👏

I’m the same with Black Friday - nothing grabbed me at all but I did buy a new budget planner for 2023 - not very exciting 😊
