Abba1772's Debt Free Diary

abba1772

Productive morning so far

did 23 minutes on the cross-trainer before starting work at 7.30am

Messaged all my Avon customers last night and some have paid me already via paypal so transferred that the bank account  and put in into a seperate account so I don't spend it 

Have cashed out £27.96 from PA and £19.02 from topcashback just waiting for it to hit my bank.

Haven't bee paid ye by a couple of parents but they normally pay later on in the day so once I have been paid I'll see what I can pay off the Halifax ideally i would like the original debt all cleared with only the tyres left on the card and these will be cleared off before we go on holiday.

Hubby tried on his holiday clothes, only things we need to but him is a pair of smart dress shorts as his other ones are too tight bless him.  I'm also need to get him new joggy bottoms and a hoody for the flight as everyone else has new ones.  so not too bad I guess.  so just need to wash all his holiday stuff he has and then thats it all freshened up ready for packing on sunday.

I have a Avon to deliver at 11.30am today then a walk up to the butchers as yet again mindees don't have a packed lunch just money.  I hate going to the shops when I've got wee ones.  I've then got 2 avon customers coming to collect their orders  at 2/3pm so at least thats another few out the way and less for me to deliver tonight. 

Ordered another set of school trousers now that its been announced they can go to school full time from the 18th but my boys won't be going back to the 24th august as thats when we get back from holiday..  will need to email the school and let them know.

just need to get him shirts and jumpers and I'll buy him his trainers on the Sunday that we return from turkey just incase his feet take a stretch.  he's now a gents size 8 on will be 14 next month !!!!!! wonder what size of feet he will end up with when he's older so you can imagine how costly his Nike air maxes will cost me as thats the only trainers he can wear

The final countdown - exciting 😁 Turkey is a very safe place to go right now from what I’ve heard so at least you won’t have to worry about cancellations or quarantine 👍

Our schools are not going back in full uniform.
Worth checking for your area?

my council has been shocking in the updates for the school, xander school hasn't put a update on since 26 June 

Managed to get Xander new shirts and collected his trousers from M&S yesterday as well as got 25% off online for them.  He still has a couple of jumper that fit him from before so they will do.  Which means when we get back from holiday we will need to nip out and get him trainers so we are organised. KK was kitted out last month so at least i can relax knowing they are kitted out.

I have managed to get 30 minutes this morning on the cross-trainer so that's out the way.  started work a bit later at 8pm but they are snoring on the couch lol so I've done my banking I now only have £273.87 on my Halifax card so that means I cleared the original balance and I'll have this cleared before I go on holiday woo hoo.

I have organised my avon returns and printed off the slips just need to put them in the bag will take them to the post office after the little ones are away at 3pm.  I also have 2 avon books to drop off later so will do that before lunchtime as need to nip to the butchers to get rolls for my mindees as mum still won't bring a packed lunch for them !!!!!!

I have printed off my travel insurance so that's something else off my list.  

Have a washing on the line and another one due to finish and I'll get another one one before lunch as I've found a pair of xander's trainers in great condition so I'm going to wash them and put them up for sale on fb.  extra pennies for the airport lol xx

I have the boys suitcases packed and mines is nearly done so today's task is to get hubby's holiday clothes ironed and put on the bed so I can get this suitcase packed then it's just Abbies to sort out and add the little bits to them.

Bought a thermometer as I'm starting to get paranoid with my work load increasing and parents not being quite forthright with the truth if their kids are ill or not so it arrived yesterday and I've been taking everyone's temperature.'

Hope you got paid by the parents, bit of  pain them not sending in a packed lunch with the kids.

Well done on the Halifax payments, amazing progress as always.

Wow you're so organised with the packing, so exciting for you all!

I did get paid thank you although one didn't pay til saturday but thats ok I just like to know how much money I have in my bank come the weekend.

I just want my card cleared so when I get back from holiday it's straight to work on hubby's card which I'm dreading tbh.

I don't feel organised tbh I feel like there is loads to do.  

And to add to my list there is no one to collect today's prescription for the elderly so I've volunteered to do it when my wee ones are picked up just after 3pm.

Well done on the Halifax card.  At least that will be out of the way and you can tackle hubby's card in due course.

I haven't even looked at my holiday stuff.  Still waiting to hear if we'll be going or not. If so everything will be done at the last minute. We should be flying 2 weeks on Thursday so cutting it fine.

You're always so busy, I bet you're looking forward to relaxing in that lovely Turkish sunshine.  I hope you're not planning on dashing about all over on holiday 😎

I'm planning on chilling out on some days

I love exploring but so far all we want to do it s all day boat trip, a jeep safari, swimming with dolphins for the boys birthday if possible and a trip to the turtle rescue centre.

Morning

Sent £17.65 towards the Halifax card so I have £256.22 left on this card, hoping Ito have this cleared by Friday.

Was meant to be taking a walk to Tesco today for last bits and bobs but the weather forecast is constant rain so it'll need to wait until after hubby gets back from work.

So today's plan is to get hubby's stuff all ironed and put on the bed so we can get his case packed tonight and Abbie is sorting out her stuff for her suitcase as well no doubt it'll need ironed as well 

also have to make phone calls to those who were still using the food larder last week to inform them of the opening times of the new food larder which means people will need to come and collect their own food as we have no drivers left.

feel shattered today haven't managed my cross-trainer today so will try and get a online workout done today after i've finished work at 3pm so I've done something and don;t feel guilty about not working out.

Right off to see what I can make for lunch, random pot luck as I refuse to buy any more food before holiday xx

Not long to go now    xx
