    afternoon :hello:

    Hope everyone is well, first time I've sat down today properly.........started work at 8am, set up playgroup today 12 kids attended so a quiet one :o then came home did the lunch and nursery run

    Popped into town to out some of my wages in my bank and transferred £10 into the holiday fund so I have £370.37 in there :j only £254.63 to go :D I need to hit this target before the 17th so I aim to have this done by Saturday..........you know I work well under pressure :rotfl: means I can start tackling the barclaycard a week earlier :D

    Went to home bargains spent £7 on toilet paper, juice for me, a Halloween decoration :o a toothbrush for Kk and lady products for Abbie then it was off to tesco where I spent £13.50 on two bottles of washing up liquid, a bag of chips and the new captain America DVD :cool:

    Hubby has a homer tonight so might need to tap him for some money for tomorrow saves me having to touch the money in my bank account :rotfl: is that cheeky ?????

    Start work again from 3pm til 5pm so not too bad then I might attempt sanding the woodwork down in the bathroom ready to paint it :rotfl: we shall see lol xx

    Must have crossed posts there Monz......sorry xx

    We will have £1800 to pay off by April so need to tackle the barclaycard and get it cleared before February as that's when my 0% runs out then I'll balance transfer the remaining balance on my Halifax over to that as I'm always getting great deals with that card

    So I aim to clear the barclaycard by Xmas :o and clear the holiday by March giving me time to out money aside for spending money

    It's quite sad I have a plan in place that will take me up to April :cool:
