All good then

A couple of years ago I bought a pair of denim ankle boots with gold stars on. They were gorgeous but I was terrified to wear them. Ended up giving them to a charity shop. Hopefully someone is enjoying them now.

My bank does roundup on my transactions and recently you can request for them to double the amount up. The money goes into my savings and I’m surprised how quick it is mounting up. I am hoping by the end of the year to have £500 in that account, and with the roundups, think I might achieve it for once.xx

I find I don’t miss the round downs so it’s a great way of saving xx

Morning

I have a cheeky day off childminding however I still volunteer today at the local Food Larder which is a all day session luckily I get to take the kids with me but today I will only have my KK as it's February break here.

£51.24 was the interest added to my card hate interest but my target is to get the card cleared before the next statement date which is the 12th March so it's on.  sent £4.64 towards the card today. extra payments are slow just now as money is tight due to wedding dress shopping at the weekend with my daughter.  She's found a style she likes so instead of paying over a grand for a dress we've found one pretty similar for £200 online which can be tailored to her measurements.  Now I need to get her measured.  I also need to order her the Vans trainers she wasn't for under her dress so we need to pull our finger out as she's getting married in August and they are too laid back for me. But this won't impact my card payments as I already have some money put by for the dress but we made a day of it going for lunch and some shopping but we had a great time and built a lovely memory of it so all is good. Also need to watch pennies as we are going to the sealife centre on Sunday to celebrate our friends wee one turning 1 ...........already so that's costing us at least £60 plus fuel plus fuel as me and hubby taking our cars and then food.  ah well you only turn one once lol. right off to get my wee one up
