Abba1772's Debt Free Diary

Sun_Addict

Well we all knew you wouldn't have been sitting with your feet up 🤣 

You are so focused with the money saving, that holiday fund has grown so fast.  It's looking highly likely that you'll be going to Turkey after all, things are moving fast and looking very hopeful indeed. I'm keeping everything crossed that my trip to Ibiza is still going ahead on 20 August, Spain are letting the UK in from 21 June, just need our government to let us travel now. As Simon Calder said you are a lot safer in Spain than you are in the UK and I expect the same applies to Turkey too ✈🕶

Evening

Fingers crossed for both of us @Sun_Addict I've certainly earned my holiday through this crisis

Managed to get the Avon ordered £936 in orders so I'll make roughly £227 in commission woo hoo so I reckon I can chuck £150 towards the holiday funds and the rest can be left in the bank.  Really surprised by this so i'm absolutely delighted 

have organised the phone calls for the two girls to do, prescription list for next week is organised so I'm ready for next week.  One of the girls has already got back to me with the results of her phone calls so I've already inputted these into the spreadsheet so just waiting on the other half getting back to me which will allow me to organise the food delivery list.

The holiday fund has taken a jump I have £1613.11 in there so I'm thrilled with that think I'll keep saving and see how far I get 

Managed to get my house insurance down by £45 so that due to come out tomorrow, did a compare and my current insurer matched it so I'm pleased with that.

Car payment is coming out tomorrow as well so must remember and not be too shocked when I check my banking tomorrow

my working hours are increasing I have 2 kids now Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and 3 kids on Friday so its defo increasing but I'm fighting to keep the Wednesday off right now so when my after schoolers come back i have some flexibility to swap some children round.  Plus the Wednesday allows me to get on with some things I need to do if they need doing that is.

Hubby was delighted with his father day gifts i'm glad and we've had a quiet day so hes happy bless him

right off to watch a program before bed as early start of 7.30am tomorrow xx

Holiday funds have jumped to £1813.10 woo hoo nearly at the £2 k mark 

Still to organise the transfer from airport to villa think its about £60 which isn't bad for the six of us.

And I need to contact the taxi service who is meant to be taking us to the airport and picking us up from the airport on the way back so thats £100 i need to budget for.

again this is all based if we get to go but need to forward plan.

How much are you hoping to have in the holiday fund? 

Did the college ever pay you? 

Have a good week 😊. Xx

Wow you’ve done really well with the Avon orders and holiday fund 🎉 You are so busy, don’t know how you fit it all in.

That fund just seems to have gone from pennies to thousands! Amazing about the avon order too. That is a great amount of orders.

Not sure @beanielou as happy to keep saving as then once i decide how much to take I'll just put the money by for the back garden or paying off hubby's card in August

Yes i got the college payment so I paid off my garden table that finally arrived on Friday.  waited 8 weeks for it and now all it's doing is raining so i can't even assemble it ............typical xx
