Thank you, I appreciate your support!I managed to get a £15 paying survey this morning and it’s already approved so I’ve cashed £18 out of Prolific and sent it to the credit card.

This is so exciting. I'm going to sit down and formulate a much better debt busting plan soon, now I know our income is increasing soon, so I hope that one day I will be in your position. You have inspired me so much. xMaking the debt go down and savings go up

Wow....nearly there! I have a bit further to go yet! Need to get my focus back on it. I was doing so well and it has just slowed completely lately. Need to start earning extra and plugging it onto debt
Will still be gone by the end of the year though - I'm going to renew my aim to get it gone sooner (my exam marking hell will hopefully give me a huge boost in June/July/Aug!) Debt busting 2022 Total £15842.68 £0 (100% paid since 1/1/22)- DFD: September 1st 2023[/b]

You’ll get there Beff. We all have wobbles and get sidetracked by life, but the key is getting back on it and regaining focus. 😊 That’s why I post every day, regardless of whether I get replies. It keeps me accountable.Today I’ve cashed out £5 from Prolific and that’s been sent to CC7 on top of my usual £6. This leaves my outstanding balance at £70 which still feels crazy to me!
It’s not a NSD for me today as I’m off out with my sister to an event, but I’ve already hit my target for April and we still have a week to go!
That’s pretty much it for now, hope you all have a good day

Unbelievably close! It’s taking all my willpower not to just pay the remainder from savings.

You’ve waited this long LMD I’m sure 4 more days won’t feel like too much time
You seem to be getting a fair few Prolific surveys - Mine has been on the quiet side lately but I’m very happy with the extra income it has given me in the few months I’ve been on there.27/5/17 Mort 64705 BTs 1904031/12/17 Mort 59815 BT 1673007/04/20 Mort 49208 BT 1572128/07/20 Mort 47387 BT 1263414/11/20 Mort 45905 BT 10134 20/05/21 Mort 42335 BT 686811/08/22 Mort 32050 BT 2915Sealed Pot Challenge 16 Number 51 -
Been catching up on your diary and I'm in absolute awe! I can't believe we're in the last few days and you're at £70 of debt left?! 😳

Thanks Keedie, I'm unfortunately still snivelly and sneezy. I didn't have a very good night's sleep last night and I'm out until late tonight at the theatre so I may need a nap.
Not a NSD as I'm off out. I've sent £6 to the credit card as my PAD... Only a short update this morning as I'm off to walk the dog before the rain starts!
