I’d make a payment to the debt when I use the vouchers

I'm treating the vouchers like they're offsetting the daily payment. I like the idea of paying a certain amount every day and then that debt being gone at the end of the month - rinse and repeat. Then whatever money, vouchers etc I can get will only help. Will be a different story when I'm done with the smaller debts.

Got a video call on Monday as a follow up to a survey I did. Will get £40 Amazon voucher for 45 minutes, which is great.
Also won an abandoned storage locker on eBay. Picking it up tomorrow, so fingers crossed I can make some good money on selling what's in there.

I meant the storage locker. I didn’t know this was a thing.

Oh sorry. Makes more sense!! I've done quite a few storage lockers, I bid on them on eBay when they come up, are local and I think there's good stuff in there.
We did one a few months ago that was absolutely packed with books, videos, DVDs, collectibles etc. It was a lot of work and we've still got a lot of it to sell, but I've made thousands on it. Some are not so good and I just about manage to get my money back. The one on Saturday was okay, but I've done better. I'll write a bit more about it tomorrow and will start posting each day how I'm doing with it.
