"A Cheap Ticket to Happy Land Please...."

BaillieRiley

Awwww thanks penny! Stop it! You'll make the pregnant lady cry :rotfl:

Couldn't find the energy to start sorting through the munchkins' drawers - BUT my living room it shining for the first time in months ,so happy with that!

I had some money put by to buy DS birthday prezzies - he is 1 next month!! - and I have ordered him stuff from Amazon tonight. There was £17 left which is now in the possession of Mr BoS!!

A good debt busting day in the BR house!

night night.......

Morning!

Spent £95 this morning! Managed to book a box for the pantomime at Christmas. Will be around 6 weeks after the newbie is born so thought it nice to treat DD - also thought it would be a nice excuse to get out of the house!
Stole (borrowed) money out of the holiday fund to pay for it which I will replace once the child benefit hits my account.

Can't believe I just used a santa smiley in May!

Nightshift tonight and tomorrow..........need to earn the pennies

Woowoo

Hi BR

I haven't been to the panto in years, it will be great fun for the family.

Hope your shifts have gone quickly x

BaillieRiley

Thanks Woo! I am knackered to say the least - but not back at work now till Sunday night - so a day or so to relax and catch up on my Zzzz's

Another £7.21 sent to BoS this morning - I sent over the odd pounds and pence and rounded current account balance to the nearest £10. Hopefully I will be able to send over a bit more before payday - only £19.11 to find to hit £900. I have £100 sitting in my current account - payday is in 13 days - and the only things I still need to pay for with this is night out (£20) and phone DD (£30) so praying a decent amount can go to BoS.

Panto tickets arrived to day - just need to find a safe place to put them till December - I will likely totally forget where they are at the time and panic!!

My 0% deal with Santander is over at the end of June and I have decided to stick with this card - watching the bit of interest coming off will only give my more drive to get it paid off all the quicker!
Santander sent me a letter this morning offering a 0% balance transfer for 6 months, 3% fee. Decided to chuck it as the interest on BoS should be less than the fee amount if I can stick to my targets. :money:

Hi BR, just nosying about on the forum and found your diary!!

Congrats on your pregnancy although your braver than me, 2 is more than enough hehe!!!

Sounds like your on a mission to get the debt paid off before baby. Well done :T xx

BaillieRiley

Hello Mummy! Thank you so much for dropping by and posting - fingers crossed I can pay off the debt for November!

I have had a bit of a spendfest weekend - I have probably very little left out of my £100 current account balance. I still have £19 odd to pay to BoS to reach my £900 target.

I'm going to try and trim a bit of the weekly shops for the next two weeks I MUST find this money!!

Woowoo

Morning BR

You can do it! x

BaillieRiley

Morning to you Woo!...........and guess what?...........

I DID IT!!!! I CRACKED THE £900!!

There was £47 left in the joint account this month as SKY hadn't taken a payment (last month they credited our account with £100 for getting HD) so OH took £20 for petrol and told me to take the other £27.

£20 off to BoS!!! Total now £899.11

Who would have thought giving all your money away could be this exciting!!

I'm holding on to the other £7 for the minute until I see what's what in my current account - but no doubt this too will be going to BoS.

Woowoo
