    Afternoon :hello:

    Haven't abandoned you just enjoying time with the family, hubby went back to work this morning :( and Abbie is away out to her friends for the day so it's just me and my boys

    Kaleb finally recovered from his sickness bug he was was sick for 8 days straight at least 2-3 times a day took him to docs twice to be told it was a viral........I swear to god I reckon doctors earn commission for that word :mad: but it's been days now since he was sick :T so hoping he's on the mend xx

    Hope you all had a lovely Xmas, I got spoiled, I got a diamond necklace, a pair of Nike air maxes, money, gift vouchers, earrings, a new watch and a dean Winchester (supernatural) figurine :D hubby knows me too well :j kids were spoiled as well still struggling to find places to put their new stuff in their room lol xx

    Spends haven't been too bad, spent £37 in Asda on Saturday then today spent about £20 so not too bad could have been worse I guess it helps I've not been impressed with the sales tbh :rotfl:

    Awaiting my barclaycard statement so I can pay another £100 towards it then I'll calculate how much debt I have exactly to clear in 2016.........me and hubby have started looking at houses to spur us on even more really hoping 2016 is the year we get a mortgage agreement in priciple then it'll be go go go so we have 12 months to clear debt and save £10k in the mortgage savings xx

    Right now I'm waffling off to watch some to with the boys xx

    Well my barclaycard statement came through this morning so paid £100 straightaway :j

    So I've finally sat down after doing the food shop by myself spent £160 on everything and every cupboard shelf fridge freezer are budging so I done good and considering we haven't done a proper shop for 8 weeks I'm happy with that xx

    So here is my debts at the end of 2015

    Argos £299.00
    Barclaycard CC. £894.45
    Couch. £1142.30
    BoS CC. £ 3649.12

    So this makes my total debt to begin 2016 with is £5984.87 :j

    I would love for this to be paid off by July but I doubt it, the couch is direct debit every month so that'll run until I can put money by to clear it off in one go

    I'm so pleased I managed to get the debt under £6k as that was my aim

    My mortgage deposit is sitting at £5200 :T so we are past the halfway point

    So 2016 will be all systems go and I can't wait, we have a caravan holiday at the start of July to look forward to and I also need to pay off Abbie's trip to Italy but we will do it

    Hope you all have a lovely new year we are having a quiet one with just me hubby and the three kids xx

    HAPPY NEW YEAR PEEPS!!!!!!!!

    Made my first sale of the year sold one of kks big tots he's outgrown for £5 and it's been picked up and paid for so sent £2.50 towards the mortgage fund :T

    Got to go through all of the kids clothes and stuff they don't use and start selling to boost the mortgage fund and start decluttering the house ready for a potential house move :D at the end of the year / start of 2017

    And so it begins...........hoping by the end of this year we have a mortgage promise xx
