    Weds 29 Oct

    £20 made to Robinson & Way for Capital debt. I hate that company Rob & Way. Not sure if anyone has dealings with them but a right bunch of T***pots.

    Made a payment towards MBNA loan in payment a day challenge. 4 mile run in the evening before dinner which was good. Man Utd win in the evening and Spurs scoring 2 late goals to draw with Arsenal was also very pleasing.

    Feeling a lot better/happier at the moment.

    Nothing interesting there but it took me over £9000 of debt repaid! Thats a nice feeling. Roll on £10K.

    Just an update. Nothing really to report.
    Saturday had shopping delivered, less than usual in money terms which was great and only missing 1 item we forgot about so an extra £1.19 only spent. Sunday was a NSD which is great, and did a run which was good. Lewis Hamilton also winning the Formula 1 World Championship in dramatic style.

    Week has been pretty slow MSE wise.
    Made £20 payments to Cap 1 balance and JJB plus normal payment to MBNA. A bit of money paid of Barclaycard balance thanks to PAD.
    1 run this week on Tuesday evening but going to go for a long one on weekend.
    Will try to post next week - hopefully a bit more interesting too.

    Hi Hobsch,

    I see we have been reading each others diaries at the same time. You are doing really well. I love the challenges as well as it motivates me. I am part of the '15k Paper Hat' challenge and find everyone on there very supportive.

    We have a similar amount of debt so will be subscribing to your diary to see how you are getting on. 1/4 of the way there is such an achievement and I can't wait to get there.

    I have subscribed to yours as well. I hope to start increasing some payments and be more active on the MSE front.

    Yeah, it's great once you get into it. I also do the surveys on lightspeed and Valued Opinions and also earn money on AQA https://www.63336.com
    They are all helping me to get closer to being debt-free and actually having some proper freedom in my life!
