Sounds like the cable is beginning to fray inside. When it brakes up it stretches quite a bit and you're constantly having to tighten it up. I’ve encountered this a number of times.
Give it a few weeks and it will snap. I'd get a replacement and get it on there soon.

yeah as simon says get a replacement clutch cable asap. They aint that hard to fit and it will save you being stranded and ending up with a fucked clutch/box

Clutch cables are clutch cables though, no real need to get a genuine one of those. A motofactor will sell you a good one for £12.
