Abba1772's Debt Free Diary

abba1772

morning

no payments sent to the card as account is sitting at a nice round number hopefully college are paying me tomorrow so it'll get whacked tomorrow

going to the gym at 10.30am then need to nip to the shops for random bits then off to my grans to make her lunch then come back home and make xander his lunch 

managed to swap energy suppliers  was with EDF as the actual energy company i was with went bust and I logged onto the account to see they were changing my Direct debits from £80 a month to £291 because I'm coming out on contract on the 17th and I'm about £112 in debit and my actual readings are lower than what they estimated so I've changed to octopus and managed to go through my grans account and get £50 onto her account and £50 to my account once I've transferred over and I'm not locked in.......what a rip off so will get that balance cleared on the EDF account once my switch over has been done as I've just submitted new meter readings.

right off to make xand his breakfast xx

Great news that you will still be getting paid from the council.

morning

Sent £527.50 over to the barclaycard this is a combination of college and survey money

Waiting on hubby sending me his house keeping money and hopefully I'll be able to sent £150 over to the card tonight bringing me under the £1k mark.  Can't believe we are nearly at the home stretch hubby has no idea and that's how I'm keeping it.  It's a shame that I won't be able to scream it from the roof tops that it's all paid off at the end of the month to him as I want to keep him on his toes.

I've got my gym appointment at 10.30am and thankfully the rain has stopped, hubby bought me a pair of wireless headphones for the gym so will be trialing this out today as doing 30 minutes on the bike today.

My son still isn't showing signs of covid thank goodness however we just received another letter saying someone else from my sons year has been sent home with a confirmed case of covid-19 so now I'm questioning if I send him back to school on Wednesday.  will need to speak to him and hubby tonight about it as I'm really worried.

Hope everyone has a fab weekend xx

Wow well done 👏 You’ve made an amazing effort to clear this card. I wouldn’t know what to do about DS either, it’s a worry.

Maybe time to think about him having a break for a couple of weeks. Otherwise it seems he will be constantly in isolation.

Congrats on being under 1k. 
It's do worrying at the minute. DD's school have only had one positive case, but I'm sure more are to come. They've just been lucky so far.
That's amazing on the Avon orders and if the council are still paying you, it'll be good to get those contracts like you said. 
Have a lovely weekend x
