Thank you everyone feeling better
now she’s playing on her “illness” which only gets brought up in situations like this…….still not interested.
my stepdad is hoping to pop in to see me before he goes back to England 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 £15026.052 -
So I’m back on here to account for my spending.
I got my wages paid by the court for attending a court case last Friday so that along with hubby’s house keeping and my cash back of £92.50 I have over £3300 in the car fund only £1650 to go but I’ll have the £242 I usually pay every month ready for December so technically I need to find £1408 before the 21st December. Should be able to do it.
One of my avon customers finally paid me today £31.75 so that was used to buy a new football duvet set from next £20 for KK and I also bought him the fifa 21 game for £10 from smiths so I’m making a dent in his Christmas list. So just a new dinosaur phone case, a transformer toy, a new football, a jigsaw and new sharpie pens and he’s done.
So technically not out of pocket so pleased with that.
now off to see if I can figure when I can hit my £1408 target 🎯NEXT 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 £15026.052 -
So I’ve worked it out I actually need to find £1325.40
according to my calculations I should be able to find this amount by the 26th just in time for Black Friday.
so that’s my target get my funds to £4708 and then I can fling myself into the Xmas spirit.

So sorry about your Uncle, and how horrid of your MIL.
You're doing great with the financials as usual though!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee2 -
My total today is £3525.51 thanks to my child benefit coming in.
so that means I only have to find £1182.49 🙃
not spent a penny today might need to later tho as we need need butter and milk will get some after I’ve been to the gym tonight.
im sitting here waiting patiently to put my avon order through but the website is down…….typical I have £1246 in orders to put through and want to see what my commission looks like hopefully it’ll be back up shortly. This money will be going towards the tortoise payment at the end of the month.
I have a 2 hour break between shifts so will find something to do in the kitchen as I painted the ceiling last night and it looks good now need to white wash the walls at some point and paint the woodwork but thinking of getting hubby to put in thicker skirting boards would ideally love the plastic ones but they are a bit pricey xx
off to see if I can do some surveys to earn extra pennies 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 £15026.053 -
Evening
still plodding along
have the cold and it’s went into my chest so been chilling all weekend back to work tomorrow no rest for the wicked xx
as you can see I’ve got to £4020 in my car fund should hit my target of £4718 by the end of next week not sure what college are paying me for childcare yet as student was off a couple of days hopefully They’ll pay the full amount. If I can would love to have the full amount so December I don’t have to worry about next months final payment if that makes sense?
Credit card is sitting at £346 🙃 and my very account is sitting at £297 hoping to have paid this off before Xmas
hope everyone is well 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 -
