Gumshoe here completely forgot about a certain bill. It merrily came out automatically. It was, however, £154 I hadn't accounted for, when I already had a substantial amount I was scrabbling for. Sigh. The new daily scrabbling target has risen. I achieved it today across several places, not all of which allow me to remove the earnings yet, since I am under their thresholds. Oh well, there are other options still.
I did finally calculate whether I'm spending more on credit than is being repaid off the principal each month. I'm not - barely - but since life is not predictable, let's just say I am now planning another Food Club trip and I will be paying more attention to what is already in my cupboards and freezer. You know what they say, it's cheaper to shop from home.
Since I will have to severely limit my spending, if that's even possible, I will also try to plug away at Nectar Canvass when I can, to accrue some points to spend in Sainsbury's or even on fuel.
This all also means somehow plucking money out of thin air to add extra to the repayments on Poison Ivy card, whose repayments kick back in around mid-December. So I'm currently waiting for a surprise lottery win (mainly it'll be a surprise since I haven't bought a ticket).
