Hello all
I'm making my first PAW but unfortunately it isn't to a debt, it's to a holiday I stupidly booked last autumn for this summer and is fast coming around. I did think about making extra payments to the credit card but I know that we will have to spend on the credit card anyway to pay for the holiday (still need to pay for the apartment, spends, airport parking and even a passport for DH) so the more I save, the less I have to go into debt by..
and NO, I wont be booking a foreign holiday next year
So - today's payment to the Holiday fund £8.50 which consists of £2.00 - found this under the bed yesterday whilst participating in my 'productive hour a day' thread.
£4.00 - did my son's paper round this morning as he is on a school trip
£2.50 - DS2 got sent home from school sick last Monday so he didn't do football hence a refund.
£8.50 in totalEmergency savings: £0 saved / £4000 target0 -
£3.90 for me this week, some things have ended on ebay today so once fees come off I will be transferring and paying a lil bit more off0

A whole 85p for me last week!
Don't know about you guys, but I find it very challenging to know how much to pay extra when it comes near the end of the month. So playing it safe until payday Thursday.
Good work everyone!
PS: I think overpaying towards a holiday sounds like a great goal, Housework*Fairy0 -
Extra payment this week of 4 pounds earned this from a survey. Got a couple of things ending on ebay sunday so hoping they sell and this will go towards next weeks extra payment.#Sealed pot #085.
