Another £3.69 sent to CC3 today and £1 to CC5 - should have been the other way around, but I wasn't paying attention!!
Another £1 put towards the loan payoff and £2 OP made to the mortgage. due the annual statement soon, so will be good to do some analysis!
Glad to have finished work for the week..DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Thank f it's Friday!
Need to buy a new washing line as the trampoline took ours out this week in the strong winds.. Unexpected and frustrating.. but necessary expense.
Cat is off to get jabbed tomorrow ready for his holiday.. and me and the littlies are off on a lamb hunt tomorrow!!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Morning Saturday!
Determined to spend this weekend getting lots of fiddly bits done, have the option to go out tomorrow, but it will cost £10 and I'm undecided whether we do go.. it's not unmissable.
Realised two activity books the littlies got recently, I'd already got so just fudged the return with am@zon to get free postage, otherwise they wanted to charge £3.99 which is half the cost in the first place. Also need to chase £2.03 cashback from TCB which has been outstanding since before Christmas.
Didn't get round to doing the job list last night, was just wiped out so that's another job for today.
Washing line likely to be near £50 - but can't be avoided.. so frustrating though!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Figures are adjusted again as family have said to clear CC's first, so I've sent £29 to CC5 just to get it under £1k to make it seem better and I'm sending £192.39 to CC3 making the balance £687.93 on that which is awesome.. won't get that much lower now this month..
Plan to clear CC3 by May and CC5 by August then I can attack the rest of the loan and get that gone by December 2017. Long time readers will know I work better by tackling one debt at a time as I seem to just get really into it and see real progress rather than spreading little amounts round.
Council tax bill for next year arrived and it's £5 more per month - grrrr - I can see my pay rise disappearing before I've even got it.
Didn't get the £50 washing line, ordered one for £23 from Mr T direct instead, good reviews and hopefully it will be ok!
Cat has his injections and we are £35 lighter.. back in three weeks for a booster.
Been out in the garden for 7 hours today, cleaned the trampoline, swings and bird poles and houses. Cut down the neighbours trees branches that fell down in the storm across our garden, nearly wiping out the littlies den.. we can't stand these trees, so any opportunity to cut down a few branches, we take!!!
Swept up everywhere and have a little pile for the tip tomorrow. The sun shone and it's so nice to be back outside again.
Settled down to watch a film.. and now off to pay those amounts to the CC's!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

It's so much nicer when the weather is nicer isn't it!
Well DS woke really early this morning, so DH is back in bed potentially putting a halt to our plans today as we need to be out early to be back in time for the Mr T delivery!
Might just go the garden centre instead and have a wander.
Finally got over £30 on 1poll.
Apart from that, it's ironing, baths and the usual Sunday shizzle..
Have a good day all!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Sounds like a really productive saturday. We managed to get in the garden bit not do anything constructive. Although it was dry here we had no sun so saving work for another day.
Good luck clearing cc,we are in the same boat and can't wait to be free of them.June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0
