Abba1772's Debt Free Diary

Willowtree222

That holiday fund just keeps growing again!I can't wait to get my order. I want to try out the mascara and see what it is like!

It said it was dispatched a while ago actually so think it should be due anytime soon. 


I need some GF things, but not venturing to the ship until I can't live without it. 70p is a massive bargain though. x

Hope you get Abbie’s stomach issues sorted and the gluten free food helps. When are you hoping to go on holiday? You’re doing really well with all the payments and savings.

our holiday is booked for August 8th so I'm hoping we are allowed to travel (if safe to do so of course)

I normally book holidays for end of June beginning of July but we had planned to celebrate the boys birthdays as this will be last year we can do it as Xander has his exams starting next year.

She's on day 3 of the GF diet and the pain in her stomach is gone, however the blood test she got done on Thursday has to be repeated as they've sent it off to the wrong lab so she needs to go back in on tuesday for a repeat test

Your holiday fund is coming on really well . GF cornflakes in Mr M today 70p a bargain.

Avon stuff turned up today, quick delivery, thanks for sorting. Sounds like the food bank is keeping you very busy. I have been delivering food parcels to the over 60s , have had many doorstep conversations this week. 

I got some great bargains for her in Mr M 4 ice cream cones for 50p she was a happy bunny.

Glad it arrived quickly, again the order was very much appreciated, thank you xx

Bless you for the deliveries, you'll probably find you're their first conversation in ages.

Did they give you a tracking number niknak, you should have had it by now.  If not let me know and I'll get the customer service number as one of my regulars had to wait 2 weeks for hers xx

Will have a look and let you know. It was dispatched on the 30th April but just thought because if the virus, it would be longer. 
Hope they send the blood test to the right place now. X

Afternoon it's 2pm where has the time went??

Got the dog bedding and her huge blanket out on the washing line, might as well take advantage of the windy weather outside.

Got the boys to gut their room as it was a pigs sty and I have hoovered upstairs, now going to hoover the stairs and living room and thats the hoovering all done, for now  lol

Going to get a workout done today as well as i managed one yesterday as well, in fact i managed to get my legs shaved, managed to put my feet up with stuff on them to make them very soft from Avon, which they did my feet are very soft and have applied tinted moisturizer to my legs as they are pale they look blue joys of being a pale redhead lol .

Have delegated phone calls to one person, someone else is awaiting the list but they need a laptop so trying to sort that out and all prescription collections are organised ready for collection tomorrow, so I'm on it hopefully it won't be as manic tomorrow.

Not much else planned in fact might get my accounts finialised and sent them to HMRC then I can sort out my tax credits, have no idea how they are going to be affected by the furlough of hubby.  Think i will just tell them his annual wage once I've worked it out then once it all goes back to normal I can figure out exactly what he will earn for this year.  Bit of a pain tbh.

Holiday fund is sitting at £488.84 and emergency fund is £520 so not too bad aim it to get emergency fund to £1k again.  Gave hubby a bollocking as he now knows I have money stashed away and because we need a new table set for the garden he suggested I dip into that.  Told him now way.

I've ordered the table set through wowcher so it cost £379 will be here in the next couple of weeks so plenty of time to pay it off.  managed to get the grass cut yesterday so thats another job off my to do list.

Have put in a appeal against the college as they sent a email stating they were not paying the final invoice.  However our public liability insurers have said this is wrong after conversing with the government so they provided a template letter which I sent off and my parent has also emailed them saying they can't afford to pay the final invoice which I wasn't charging her for anyway but she agreed to help me bless her.  The funding was already allocated to the childcare and therefore not used for anything else  If it comes to anything I'll be popping up with a couple of bottles of wine for her its the least I can do.    Its for at least £455 so a lot of money which I had written off not that I could afford to but but because my parent would never have been able to afford it and as it was the last payment as college had finished I let it go.  So fingers crossed my appeal is successful, if it is I'll be paying off the balance on the halifax for the table and chairs and the rest will be put into the holiday fund.  Nothing ventured nothing gained as another childminder appealed last week and was successful using the same temple letter.

right off to hoover the stairs.

Fingers crossed it is successful. Good luck x

I'm sure if you're diagnosed with coeliac disease then you can talk to your pharmacy about getting certain things on prescription/ minor ailments. It might be means tested (you'd need to look into it) but i remember some pharmacist friends talking about it a few years back. Worth looking into, particularly if A is working and not in education, which might class her as independent.

you couldn't make this up, now my daughter has a UTI poor !!!!!! isn't getting a break shes in extreme pain with this and is now on antibiotics after the conformed she has a UTI.  shes off work today and is starting to panic about losing her job, they've been great and hopefully she'll be better for her shift on Saturday.

It's our wee puppy's birthday today bless her she's one got her a new collar and a couple of toys.

emergency fund is sitting at £1000 again woo hoo, not to be touched unless needed.  Holiday account has £583.28 in it woo hoo it will be above £600 by the weekend.  bonus came in from PA surveys for sent it straight over.  I have £70 in commission in my Avon account need to phone them and tell them to send it to my bank account and I'm still waiting on the £25 from another survey payout.

The college have emailed me back yesterday saying they are taking into consideration to pay the final invoice, we shall see.

managed to get a few bit in for Abbie's birthday, it's not til July but want to be organised.  will have a look on ebay and amazon for more stuff.

Right off to get the puppy from my gran no doubt she'll be knackered.
