10 months in and 90 left to go ... the reality is starting to kick in :)

Is it sad that I got my wage slip in today and the first thing I noticed after how much I got was the 62p Tilly tidy that I get to do tomorrow ?

Wage slip in and I think we will make it till the middle do feb Wooo hooooo there isn't much room for playing around but everything I had planned to get paid will do

Well tonight's dinner was gammon steak with veg .. Yum very nice, and so easy to make, having it on the menu plan just makes it that but easier to organise

Tonight I tried having a wee bounce on the rebounder I managed about 2 mins before my shin splints started hurting, so I carried on for another 30 seconds them stopped as I don't want to out my healing back, I'm still really missing my running though, I really want to get back to it next week

So pay day, I have transferred all the money to where it needs to go, I paid my 62 p Tilly tidy, paid some extra off the highest interest debt and I'm back to waiting till the 15th if next month, with the Tilly toddies and sugar shuffles keeping me going

I actually forgot my sugar shuffle last night, I remembered at 2 am this morning though and transferred the money over

Next money to be dealt with is the direct debit for the Halifax , to see if its working, transfer the £5 over ( if I get it this month ) and just keep plodding

I'm glad it's not just me. I got up in the middle of the night to do a daily OP once too. ;-)

elantan I still lurk about these parts (MSE I mean ! ) and was just thinking I haven't 'seen' Z around so did a bit of detective work and his last post was on your thread on the 31st December

Hope he's ok

Lol catshark ... I was working so had plenty of time to kill

Tonight it was a 23p tillyvtidy and a £1 sugar shuffle so that's good, mr el and I have been chatting about a few things cars, retirement , what we want to do when we are debt free.. It was nice to chat about goals and plans , which is a relatively new experience for me tbh

Have cancelled my free emergency insurance a it's due to run out shortly and then they want money ... I didn't feel it would be worth it so have decided not to carry it forward, we have someone coming out tomorrow to give us a price for clearing the miss from the tiles on the roof and sealing them, we don't have the money to get the work done but It would be good to get some idea of the price so we could work out how much we need to save or how/ if mr el could tackle it himself ( with the help of others of course )

Finished my adpoints today, it's took me a few days but still not much time ... So far it seems worth the effort

Hey EL lovely to see you here hope all is good with you ?

Yeah I was starting to wonder myself I he was ok ... I'm sure he is probably taking some time out, I know I need to do that every so often, sadly I no longer have his email address so I can't email him to check he's ok

Z honey if your there give us a shout

Just checked my bank ... I got a whole 71p interest this month after tax ... It may not sound much but I'm actually happy as that's 71p more than we've ever had from our current account ... So Tilly tidied over and sugar shuffe done ... And bed time for me I'm shattered
