Abba1772's Debt Free Diary

morning

Tax credits came in so sent them straight over to the savings, I now have hit my target of £4k........£4088.75 to be exact.  Feeling very pleased with myself.   Now I'm going to continue to keep saving until end of April and see what I can get up to,  Hoping for £7 / £8K but with a few jobs that need to be done around the house such as the new loft hatch and ladders, and getting a room rewired and replastered this might be at a push.  We shall see

Another target smashed 🥳 I’ve also got a number of jobs need doing on the house, it’s never-ending.

Are you going to celebrate hitting 4k? A sneaky treat for you. I don't mean spending just like a glass of something or chocolate bar! 
You always hit your targets so sure you'll get to that saving x

You’re absolutely right it is never ending but once the room is done and my son moves into it then I don’t need to worry about it until he moves out then it gets turned into my childminding room but that’s at least 10 years in the future as he doesn’t want to move out until he’s bought his first home xx

I made the kids pancakes and was seriously surprised as everything I make baking wise doesn’t turn out so great so these were nice and fluffy thick pancakes.

ive said to myself once I’ve got the house rerendered, and either the driveway or back garden all sorted I’m going to get a new phone as mine is 3 years old and it’s needing charged twice a day now so that will be my treat xx

Afternoon

not really done much today we are having a chilled day well that is after lunch then I have to go collect the baby mindee then drop the other mindee off at her nursery it’s her first day back after lockdown although officially it’s not til Monday but her nursery have decided mum has keyworker status after all this time and that’s her just being allowed to go back to nursery but hey ho extra pennies for me and I’ve put them all towards the savings since the start of the year so I’m happy with that.  With her going back to nursery my income will drop by £45 a week but that’s ok I don’t rely on this money.

was going to take a walk to home bargains tomorrow but will be doing it today as I’ve been asked to do a extra shift tomorrow and don’t fancy taking 4 kids out, today I’ll have the mindee in the buggy and eldest son is coming with me too first time we’ve walked into town and back since the lockdown part 3

i need to get dog food, a lightbulb for the kitchen, some floor tiles and a roller kit as my plan is to get the cupboard in abbies room all painted and ready for moving xanders stuff in it as she’s decided she’s staying at her grans for good now even if my gran gets out of hospital.  No doubt I’ll come away with other stuff I can’t help it in that shop 

sent another £10 towards the savings college due to pay me tomorrow so that will be getting chucked into the savings as well

still no word on the remortgage starting to think this mortgage advisor hasn’t a clue but hopefully it’s all goes through ok xx

right off to get ready for our walk to nursery and home bargains xx

Oh and submitted my avon order and got £655 in sales so I’ve made £153 in commission, £100 of this will be put into the savings and the rest will stay in my purse so I don’t touch the bank account for a wee while, suppose it’ll look good to the mortgage people if we aren’t spending all the time from our bank accounts.

Great news on the Avon sales. I'm awful in home bargains and always buy loads of things! 
It's just one of those shops! 
Sure you're a lot more disciplined than me though!
