Just cheering on from the sidelines and catching up on your news. Keep going you are doing brilliantly can't wait for next years debt free party. x

abba1772 · 7 August 2015 at 3:13PM

Well hopefully we won't be debt free for long calling as hoping to have a mortgage :rotfl: but it'll defo be a worthwhile debt.

Me kids and hubby have been discussing holidays next year and whilst we wanted to go abroad, it's the cost and we would rather put £2k towards the mortgage fund or debt repayments than splash out on a holiday abroad so we decided we are going to have a caravan holiday up near Inverness as that's where my oldest two are born and raised and I do miss it up there as well as some friends so looked into booking a caravan and its £599 deposit is £25 and can be paid 8 weeks prior to us going and if I go through the cash back site I get £30 so next week I am booking it once I get paid xx

Been to the shops and back with six kids :T must have walked 6 miles, bought a pair of shoes that I've loved in my catalogue for about 2 years and they were in the charity shop barely worn for £3.25 :T who am I to resist they are soooooooo pretty

plus kids found a bunch of minions and farm animals for the animal box

Then popped into wilkos and spent £3.80 on arts and crafts stuff that were worth £40 :eek: that's my arts and crafts box stocked up plus £7 on drinks and a toy for baby k

Nipped into homebargains and got sawdust for guinea pig, fairy non bio, two cards, crisps for £8 then Went to Greggs and spent £6.80 on the kids lunch then it was off to the park where the kids ran their heads off then headed to tesco for bread and a salad so £3.80 in there Nd now we are home............is it quitting time yet?????

2 washload are out and another in the machine making the most of the lovely weather, mil is coming to get my 3 tonight as we have a wedding tomorrow then it's off to pick my friend up who's staying the weekend as she's also attending the same wedding :T so again another busy day

Don't think I know how to rest lmao xx

What an eventful night.........as some of you know hubby is a mechanic so he's currently doing a big homer as hates seeing people get ripped off well he took the clutch apart on this car and IT wouldn't go back in cause it was so heavy cue us picking my friends up at 11pm :eek: and not getting us home til 1pm :eek: abso shattered but he did eventually get the clutch and flywheel back in :Tthis is another reason why we are buying a house so hubby can do homers in a garage rather on the side of the road cause we don't even have a drive way :mad:

During this I get a manic phone call from a poor lady saying her childcare provider has decided she wanted a different job and just phoned out of the blue saying she's no longer available for childminding :eek: so I nipped round to see her and I'm going to try and help them out as best as I can which means all my childminding spaces are full and I'm going to be knackered but after talking to hubby we feel it's going to be worth it and the extra money I get from this lady will be put towards the debt therefore reducing it quicker :T

Will defo be debt free before summer 2016 for sure :T

abba1772 · 8 August 2015 at 8:47AM
