    Holy moly! Well done! You're running away with it this year - what an amazing achievement.

    What's your next target? The eye loan? <-- Just looked at 'eye loan' and it sounds weird...

    Right next target

    I want to clear my small loan I got for laser eye surgery as I always forget the payment is due and it mucks my sums up.

    The total would be £1248 outstanding by the time I phone up at the end of the month.

    so far I've cashed out on top cash back and qmee and have £28.45 in the savings account and cashed out another £37 from PA so as soon as that hits the account I'll transfer it over

    So new target is £1248........would ideally love this to be cleared by the end of the month, I'm certainly pushing it put I would like to have two months of savings for our spending money for our holiday plus I need to buy new holiday clothes and trainers for everyone :rotfl: xx

    New total is £28.45 / £1248

    I'm leaving my wee barclaycard achievement on my signature for a little while longer as I'm really really pleased it's cleared :T

    Thanks everyone is greatly appreciated xx

    Sold two Disney shirts on fb put money straight into the savings account have £40.76 / £1248 so need to post a parcel today as well :T

    It's day two of the school holidays :D Xander is going out with his gf to see dumbo, one mindee is away to a activity club from 10am til 3pm so me and Kk and my other mindee are going to the inflatables today, need to spend money today :eek: shocking lol xx hopefully we can be under £15 this will include snacks and drinks so fingers crossed :cool: need to nip into homebargains and get potatoes and tins of soup

    Hubby off work today think he's got a nasty viral infection he looks rotten he was off yesterday as well which isn't like him at all he did try to get ready for work but he was struggling so out him back to bed and I grabbed a shower

    Waiting on my mindees turning up.........wonder if they'll be late :rotfl:

    New bed arrived last night it's so pretty........managed to get the lift up storage bed as I need the space to hid pressies at xmas time, managed to have a clearout of some stuff that was already under my bed some made it's ways to the bin and some will be going to the charity shop :T

    Also sold abbies old bed to a friend they'll be picking it up on Friday so should make £30 from that :T this will be put straight to the savings for paying off the loan :D still no more sign of my payout from PA so fingers crossed it's here soon, I'm already getting impatient :rotfl:

    Have two piles of kks clothes on fb...........the amount of time wasters is unreal I'm in no hurry to sell them, most of it are decent branded stuff yet people think offering £10 is accptable :mad: kks pile alone was probably worth £200 when bought brand new I'm only asking for £25 so I'm not overpricing my stuff

    Still to put xanders stuff online, will do that today I reckon :cool: we shall see

    Right off to organise the clean washing into ironing piles and stuff that can get put away straightaway xx

    Hope you all have a lovely Tuesday xx

    Got a childminding meeting tonight as the Scottish government are coming along to see how we are getting on with the funded sessions so it's a good opportunity that starts at 7pm, hoping I finish work at 5.30pm so I have time for my dinner
