Abba1772's Debt Free Diary

Willowtree222

Hopefully the couch should arrive. Is there a reason you think it won’t?

I can see the debt paying is back! My sister gets a lot of her things from very. I’ve never looked at it before. 

I need to start shopping for Christmas now. I’ve done the school stuff apart from shoes and now to do the final event of the year!

It was meant to be delivered 2 weeks ago and never showed but I’ve had it confirmed by 2 different customer service advisors that it will be arriving on the 11th.  We shall see xx

I love Very, I tend to find their stuff is cheaper than the high street.

im already scouting out stuff for Xmas seen a nice gamer duvet set for KK in next so will get that ordered for him and I’ve also bought Abbie a limited edition Disney stitch pop vinyl and I’ve put it by.

She says the same. I’ll have to have a look and see. 

I’m clueless about Christmas this year. I’ve normally at least started by now! X

Sent £5.54 over towards the very account so I only have £79.62 and I’ll clear that when my loss of earning come through from the court that we didn’t get to attend as the courts overran and we were just waiting at the house ready to be called.  This will be the fourth date that we will be given…..don’t worry I’m only a witness xx

And we are organised for school…….boys did good and KK has even organised his bag for school…….only 8 days to go.

now waiting on our new couch arriving then I have a online meeting at 7pm

It did thank goodness and it’s lovely xx

Well that’s my very account cleared thank goodness

just the balance on my credit card that needs tackled but it won’t be tackled properly until after the boys birthdays on Friday however I am owed £134 from the community association as I have made a few purchases on their behalf so a cheque should be winging its to me this week.

Im also expecting £121 from the court for the court case we had to take a day off 2 weeks ago so again this will get sent straight over the the credit card.

I still have £500 in my home improvement account as I still need my fascia boards replaced but hubby and his friend are going to put them up so the only expense will be the boards themselves and paying our friend helping hubby.  Will work out much cheaper than the £600 the contractor quoted us then didn’t show 😡 

I’ve decluttered 12 cans of alcoholic water that I was gifted, swapped it for two bottles of juice.  Might as swap for something I’ll use.  I’ve sold xanders guitar and put the money straight into his Florida tin.  I’ve also got a lady coming round to swap a light shade that was in the boys room and they are bring me more bottles of juice (I don’t drink tea or coffee lol).  

I bought a little side table from B&M was £30 reduced to £25 and it was exactly what I was looking for.  Also bought new table lamps from next to match my ceiling lights at the weekend, my living room is looking more cosy.  still got some touch ups to do and get my radiator covers.

it’s both the boys birthdays on Friday I’m all organised just need to wrap their gifts and write their cards.  I also need to nip out and get their cards but I can do that on Thursday when they both go back to school

Sounds like some great swaps and decluttering too. You also cleared the very account which is great.

Has the work been finished? X

yes now it’s my shot to get everything all sorted 

still got plenty to get one with but nothing urgent would like to get the window sills and the bottom band of my house repainted in the dark grey I wanted.  Just waiting on a dry weekend to get that done.  Kitchen needs painted but I’ll get to it not in a rush.

Just plenty of little things I can get on with.
