    £28 isn't to be sniffed at at all.

    Pay day is Friday for me. Will find out what difference the NI change and my pay rise will make on Thursday :)

    My Experian is at 999 as well now. It's come a long way in a little over a year!

    We could definitely do with some rain down here. 
    Please can I ask @LittleMissDetermined and @RelievedSheff , where do you get your Experian reports from? I used to get it as part of my Bank account package but that part stopped a couple of months ago.

  • I just signed up on the Experian app. The free version… it gives me my score but little else so I use ClearScore and Credit Karma too

    @AntoMac there's also the MSE Credit Club, that's where I look at my full Experian credit report for free and get the monthly updates and I can see all of the changes and credit searches etc, affordability score etc, https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/creditclub/. It's great and they email you when your report is in.

    I use Clearscore, Credit Karma and the MSE Credit Club. All free ones.

    It is the Credit Club that shows the Experian Score and Report.
  • Hi everyone

    Busy day in the life of LMD today, it's pay day so I was sorting out my new budget planner this morning before work and then I have been on work calls since 8am. Just stopped to get a drink and pop some washing in so I am dropping in with an update. 

    PAD was hefty this morning to various places and today (despite being pay day) will be another NSD. I have been able to colour in more squares on my tracker too which always makes me happy :)

    Weather is set to be nice here today so I will be getting the washing on the line whilst I have a lunch break and before back to back meetings this afternoon.  Looking forward to the weekend already!

    Have good afternoons all

  • Morning peeps... we are almost back at Friday! This weeks has gone by in a whirlwind :) 

    Glad I managed to get laundry done yesterday as it's looking grim out there today. Busy day ahead with work again and then cleaning and chores tonight (may even be cool enough for me to tackle my ironing!) before the weekend. Won't be a NSD today as there are a few things I need to order for my pending holiday. I will try to bunch up spends though so hopefully I can get another couple in before the end of the month.  I'm hoping to use my Boots points for SPF and toiletries.

    PAD this morning was a regular DD for insurance and £1 sent to CC7, nothing to cash out on Prolific at the moment but I will be checking again later on. 

    That's it for now I think. Catch you all later, hope you have great Thursdays!
