Morning
So council paid me and I've sent £1229.98 over to the credit card which clears it. I'm hoping I don't have any interest to pay as its 3 days before my next statement not sure how it works but if so it'll get paid off straightaway.
So that's that cleared, however I normally transfer £600 straightaway from the council wages into my bills account but really wanted to get this card gone so now I have only £200 in there but I have til the end of the month to build this up again so it's doable will just keep rounding down my account.
Sold my ugg boots on FB so after postage I made £102.53 so that's went straight into the holiday pot vinted and surveys are going ok aiming for £200 in side hustles so need to see what else I can sell.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 £15026.051 -

Evening
Still plodding along here
Bill account has £517 in it woo hoo only £83 to find by the 31st I can do this..
Sales on vinted are doing on I have £108.42 so far in sales this month would have been more but i reached a small target and bought myself a couple of things off of vinted, a Nike Hoodie for £7 and a pair of Nike leggings for £4 so with postage fees and fee it was £18.33 all in
Facebook sales are £135 but spent £20 of it
Surveys are £20.22 approved and £3.60 pending
So potentially I have £233.64 plus £3.60 for this month so far so I've smashed my target of selling £200 worth of stuff
and decluttering in the process
Hope you are all well xx

Morning
cleared my credit card of the cheeky interest applied this month so it’s official it is cleared.
however……….might need to add to it ever so slightly as my back garden has finally been priced up to be done and with all my hustles and money from my gran I should managed to purchase the slabs which are a eye watering £1500 but would be put on the card and cleared asap to ensure my money is protected
its been 7 years today since we officially bought our house and I’ve been very patient regarding the back garden but no more it’s getting done this year. It’s hubby’s best friend who is a landscaper who is doing it and my hubby brother and son as well as myself will be busting our bottoms to help get it done. Then I can enjoy a beautiful full low maintenance garden, KK is all excited about getting flower pots in and planting flowers bless him 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 £15026.051 -
Well done on clearing the card!
The garden will be well worth it when done, and it won't take you long to clear the slab payments."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 McGee1 -
