I'll tell him end of February as my target for next year is to save up as much as I can and get the render done on the house and garage and a new garage door for hubby so I'll keep him on his toes for a wee while longer xxNEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.054 -

Good Morning
Waiting on mindees turning up so did my banking
Cleared my Halifax £165.71 and cleared the very Account £197.05. That's me done with the debt busting for the year officially. I've cleared £15026.05 this year, HOLY MOLY that's a lot of money and I'm a bit annoyed that it's went towards debt. But I'll never repay that amount of debt in a year again.
So I'm done with the debt repayments as all I have in my name is my PCP and we are officially got less than a year of payments then I have the balloon payment to save up for by next December which is about £4500. I'll have that saved then this means I'll be saving £242 a month on car payments. I don't even pay that a year for my car insurance. It's a great car and I'm defo keeping it.
Hubby has his bike finance in his name and that's his responsibility.
Today I'm working til 4.30pm I think lol ............I have the gym at 6pm and I need to check and see what time dunelm and poundstretcher closes at today as I need to get a new blanket and table cover. Also need to jump to the food warehouse for cauliflower cheese for Christmas dinner and some juice for me.
Todays plan is to go to the post office and return a top I bought for the gym. I need to put money into my account as well as I got rid of the Avon orders last night so Officially done with Avon this year as well. Then I need to nip to the Food Bank and hand in the vouchers I had organised to be raffled off to those who come into the food larder today for their food.
Tomorrow it's the usual house blitz of cleaning and prepping the food for Xmas dinner. Plus I have the gym at 10am hubby thinks I'm mad but I've lost 15.5 lbs since getting back from holiday and I'm determined to not put it all back on as feeling good about how I'm doing
No news on my gran as yet, social worker phoned and said she's demanding they find her a bed on the dementia ward as they still have no answers for us yet and she feels it's not safe for my gran to be released from the hospital until we know what stage and what type of dementia she has, what was causing the pain on Friday that led me to phone the ambulance and what is causing her to lose conscious for 45 mins up to 4 hours.
If I'm not on before Christmas I wish each and everyone of you have read or commented on my diary, you've been a wonderful support and I can't thank you all enough, Hope Santa is good to you xxNEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.057 -
Merry Christmas Abba,
That is a huge amount of debt. Congratulations on clearing it and looking at what you have achieved. You should be do proud.
I'm glad the social worker is fighting your grans case. I hope it gets resolved soon.
Love to you and your family xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

Wow what an amazing amount of debt you’ve paid off especially with all the added stresses you’ve had this year. Also well done on the weight loss, no wonder you feel good.
I hope they get to the bottom of what’s going on with your gran soon. At least she’s safe and being looked after.
Have a lovely Christmas xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4
