    Well done on getting a good transfer rate.

    Are the glasses any good? Or have you taken them back?

    And as for the spreadsheet being a motivator..I am with you on that. I am wishing the months away at the double

    2 hour yoga class and now feeling very mellow :) Bath and bed calls after I have filled in the spreadsheet and done a few additional payments by rounding down the balances.......like it all tidy and even numbers :D

    All OK here. Despite April being a bit 'spendy' in the ENTZ dept everything else fine. Happy to have CCs pretty much on very long 0%BT and a couple will be mopped up and finished by the time their 0% period comes to an end.

    May looking ok - although have had to fork out for new tyres - decided in the end to go for mid range rather than top range in the end.......car is causing me a headache ATM...once sorted I will report here the whole bl00dy nightmare - either positive or negative!!

    DD2 returns to homestead at end of June.........got a few logistics to sort out before then.........I think next few weeks might be just a tad busy/fraught/stressful. Got coursework to complete and !!!!!! kicking off at work.........uuuurgh!!

    Doing 2 yoga classes a week ATM....might need more :rotfl:

    Still here. Still not spending. Still find it odd that a spreadsheet could make such a difference.

    Work is meh........but then it often is

    Finished now until 3rd :)

    Got some work to do on various projects so going to be busy:o

    Oops its been a while.....just been busy winning at life,getting some studies finished ( I passed!) and also been a teeny weeny bit ill (: . Although still a few days before I start the long break, in my head I have finished already...its quite a liberating feeling even with a couple of outstanding reports to write and 2 trips out with the mad frogs :eek:

    Still debt busting.Still not spending only on essentials - have yet to buy any toiletries this year as we are making our way through what is in the bathroom cupboard - but wondering what i am getting out of:money: if I am honest. Still like reading other peoples stories but find now that I would rather spend the time doing something else:D I have culled a few threads that were beginning to annoy me so I am not tempted to get sucked in:o

    Hope all who drop in here are doing well.

    Lovely to hear from you Ig and glad you’re doing ok. Hope you feel properly better in time for the long break.

    I love the camaraderie on here, but there are times when I slip out of posting, RL just gets in the way. Do need to focus though, have a money planning meeting with OH tomorrow but YNAB has gone kaput on me so that could be interesting. I need to get back to saying ‘no’ and only spending 60% of our income and then we’d be in perfect shape ;) Anyway if I can just get to another 6 months of really strict budgeting we would be through the very worst and have enough for upcoming tax bills etc.

    Have a great week
