The kick up the a&£e diary for debt busting

It certainly is El.
I went and made some coffee and as I was drinking it I had a 'eureka' moment regarding my 'lost' paperwork. I actually remembered where I had put it (in a really safe place so it wouldn't get lost. Lol!).
I have cancelled a magazine subscription. been meaning to cancel for months. Not so
So that's a saving of nearly a tenner a quarter-not loads but it all adds up.
I'm currently sat next to a mountain of paperwork waiting to be shredded-the paperwork, not me
Slowly but surely but I am getting there.

Sorted out an investment - should come through in [STRIKE]august[/STRIKE] July
paid rest of holiday
sorted out some paperwork-managed to mislay some paperwork so I'm not very impressed with myself at the moment.

Finally phoned the bank today. Apparently their cut off for last years ISA was 9pm on the Friday night and as I didn't do the transfer until just before midnight on the Friday it has gone onto this years ISA. Oh well, never mind-we're not exactly talking huge sums of money.

Trying to sort out tax but they just keep saying they're busy and cut me off.:(
Just vacuumed stairs, landing and bathroom. Put some washing in dryer. Just got to put another load of washing in then I'll try tax office again.

Finally rang tax office and got through!
Apparently they owe me some money... But... I owe them 5 times what they owe me. the only saving grace is that I have until January to pay it.
I'm really pleased I rang them now...NOT

Had a very late night last night-time just seemed to go so fast.
Anyway, I set my alarm for 8 and managed to drag myself out of bed at 9!
Not feeling 100% today-head ache, my monthly stomach pains guess I'm just feeling a bit down (for some unfathomable reason).
Right off to make a coffee and see if I can shake of this yuk feeling.
Got to get some more listings up-my reduction in hours has obviously affected my wages and the effects seem to be kicking in now.
Off to make coffee and check bank accounts.

Aims and objectives 2013

[STRIKE]pay off holiday £400[/STRIKE]
Pay £3,000 off mortgage
Pay catalogue off £600
Save £3,000I

may add to it as and when objectives are achieved.

Holiday paid
Mortgage overpayments on hold -nearly a third of the way to target
Catalogue needs checking
Savings just over half way but will need to use some of this (most if not all) to pay for household repairs.

tattycath

Just checked catalogue-due to making a couple of purchases I still owe £518. Need to pay this off ASAP

I've set myself the tough target of being mortgage free by the end of 2022 if not before. :eek:
