  • LMD, I have been following your journey, you are so inspiring and certainly live up to your MSE name.

    I look forward to seeing the day you become debt free!!
    Thank you so much! It means a lot.

    Wow I am popping in before the historic day (20 days to go) - such an inspiration!

    I really needed to see this diary as feeling so despondent recently... This is amazing, and a huge well done for the extremely well-earned relief you are about to revel in. Keep it up to the very end!

  • Thank you both! I don't like to wish my days away but this next pay day can't come quick enough :D 

    I was awake super-early this morning as I had the window open and the birds were all chirping. It looks like it's going to be a nice day for our walk, but for now we (me and the dog) are back in bed in true bank holiday style.

    It's not a NSD today as I am out for a birthday do later so will be buying food and drinks.  I also need to fill the car, I've been putting it off and I've not filled it for ages so the light is on. 

    No extra funds available today so my PAD is £6 to the credit card. I have £18+ pending on Prolific so I will be keeping tabs on that today. The projected last payment is now £157, but doesn't include that £18 so should be even lower!

    Hope everyone has a great Easter weekend.

    I'm going to spend it for a few months.... and then start saving!  I need to pay for the November holiday too which is a whopper of a balance.

    If I knew how to insert a gif I'd add one of someone throwing money in the air! :D

  • Clearly I was too early with my post this morning, just cashed £7 out of Prolific and sent it to CC7 :)
