DansMum's hopeful freedom date 01/01/2024

DansMum_2

Spent again yesterday £1.20 on crisps and a muffin....:mad: BUT paid £50 into the 'pay willie off early' fund and another £25 off the mortgage. Things are getting busier at work (just as I'm going ) so can get paid a little more often, although still outstanding nearly £1000 but that'll come.

I cant believe I leave next Friday I am sooooo sad as I've been with business for 13 years since day 1 and have made real friends here. I totally understand that my going will save the business thousands and we are hopefully going to be able to de register for VAT in a few months but I really dont want to have to go back to shipping its souless, thankless etc. On a real downer today about it..... _pale_

DansDad having a day orf playing with his bikes. He's cleaned one of them up to sell so will be taking pics later for him and putting on ebay/bike trader. He needs to lower his overdraft and has a £3k credit card debt (on0%). We have both been hammered with the winter. The idea is he lowers the overdraft, pays off the outstanding HP and buys a cheap bike for work. He should get £3k - £3.5k for this one.

I'm off to post ebay bits which sold the other day another £31 for the pot. Getting close to being able to afford hen house *looks for hen smiley* Beautiful day here again .... Long may it last

I have put another £50 into the Willie fund now stands at £200. I want my car paid for in total by latest June '11 instead of Aug '12. This takes 1 whole payment off (£175.88 p/m) and a bit...

I have put another £50 off the mortgage. Now stands at £54520.67 getting toward sub £54k I think the next payment can be £20.67

Well todays payment was ...... *drumroll* ...... £20.67 Am going too far with the declutter malarkey Mortagage now officially £54500 Willie fund up again now at £250.00 Willie fund has a scheduled payment on the 24th of £134 so thats two payments already

I think that'll have to do for a week or so for these as its my birthday next week, so am off on Monday and on Wednesday we're off to the local zoo where DansDad had bought me a 'Keeper for a Day' voucher for Christmas. I'm feeding meerkats *awwwwww smiley* big cats *purrrrr smiley* and mucking out the giraffes. I said to himself that I do that everyday for free !!!! :eek::rotfl:

Spent again today but needed to. £19 for haircut (only do it every 3 1/2 months) £7 on veggies from the market and £8.55 from the cheapy stall bought bread/eggs/cereal/biscuits/dog treats etc so not that unpleased with myself. DansDad had given me some housekeeping in cash so kept £50 back for those. Apaprt from milk and butter shouldnt need to buy owt else this week which will mean two weeks without shopping! :cool:

I am now sat with a hoooooge pack of biscuits next to me which are begging me to open *gnashing smiley* Time for a cuppa I think!!! Mmmmmm to dunk or not to dunk..... that is the question.....

Re: ebay. Could I declutter the mortgage that way? I wonder if anyone would bid....... :think:

SmlSave

don't dunk! the biscuits just disappear that much faster especially when the said dunked buscuit calls to the bottom of the cuppa
