Making a move on debt

The weather here has been lovely so the heating has finally been turned off and stayed off.

OH and I cycled to work last tuesday eveing and Sat evening, so I have moved the petrol money work pays us to the overpayments pot, hoping that we can cycle a lot more now as the weather is getting warmer and warmer here.

On sunday OH and I went out cycling for a few miles, once we got to a local forest we locked up the bikes and walked round the forest.

Have also been recording how many steps I walk each day, going to record them here so I can keep a record each day.

Only needed to work for company #2 1 days this week (yesterday) so the hrs have been sent to them straight away.

A small payment has of £15.00 has been sent to the UK debts.

Nothing much else has happened in the last week or so, Seems all I do is work eat, sleep repeat.

Gotta be getting ready now for work this evening.

Today is a paid holiday here :j not sure why I was awake so early though as I could have had a lie in, but still woke up by 5.30am.

In the last few days 2 small payments of £6 and £5 have be paid to the UK debts, still saving some money while paying small amounts so that I can hopefully get a F+F on one of the 2 smallest debts in a few months.

Mortgage not gone out today due to the holiday here, not sure if it will go out tomorrow now or Monday.

Bill for the car insurance has come in and been paid, this was due to be paid by the 5th May, so paid it yesterday, there was just not enough money in the pot saved for this, so borrowed from another till today, with the money that would have gone in today it would have been enough, wanted to get the payment sent though as it was due on Tuesday.

Done the main monthly shopping for May online and had to go to the store to collect it on Wed, managed to save 10€ off the shopping for ordering it online and with instore discounts managed to save a further 7.50€ , had a voucher for 1€ off washing powder and 5€ voucher to save off the cost of the shopping, making a total saving of 23.50€ so this money has been moved to the overpayments pot for May since it should have come out of Mays budget.

Mortgage payment went out today, :T
Needed petrol today, so got that after work this morning, thinking we wouldnt need to go near the shops after work tonight, but OH decided that tomorrow morning we are having a cooked breakfast, so need to stop at the shops and get bacon and baked beans on the way home later.

In the last 10 days,

I have made a payment to the UK debts of £23.50.

Wages for company 1 and 2 have been paid into the bank,
Wage slips for both have arrived in the post,
I have saved some money from our wages for taxes.

Have received vacation money for the year, and have split this money between the 2 vacation pots, 1 pot covers the bills for when we have vacation days from work and the other pot covers money to be spend on these vacation days.

The credit card bill has come in, this was used when we were away on vacation for a few days last month, the credit card is paid every month, it automatically comes out of the account up to 300€ anything over that amount can be paid through online banking or would be added onto the next months bill. This months bill was just under 400€, so the 300€ was taken out of the account and the remaining 100€ I paid online.


Tomorrow is a paid holiday here, OH and I are due to go visit OH's parents. Hopefully I can get a lie in tomorrow as I am usually up at 5am to be in work for 6am 6 days a week.
