    Congrats!! :D

    Just been doing sums and I don't think I'll pay off 6k by Xmas... I. Think I might be lucky to get to 4k! But I'm trying to tackle it and that's the most important thing

    Loan repayment of £174.13 went out this week.
    So #208 at £1092.13/£6965.20 (15.7%)
    There is money sitting in our account from last month, we had £500 left at the end of the month but hubby wants to keep it in the main account in case we need it and says he will transfer it at the end of the summer hols if we don't need it for trips and school uniform etc!
    I will keep working on him and I just want to pay it off the loan so I can see the loan going down. My theory is that if it is in the account we will spend it but f not we will be fine and find the money and just be a but more careful!

    Just wanted to say we had a mega frugal day out on Tuesday. We went to Woburn Safari park. We used our tesco club card vouchers so got free entry and took a picnic. We had snacks in the bag and didn't do our usual 'shall we all have an ice cream? OH and I had a chat and said it seems to be a habit that whenever we go out for the day we have icecreams and the kids are beginning to expect it rather than seeing it as a treat! THEY didn't miss them!
    So a full day out. We were there from 10-6 and the whole day cost.....
    NOTHING!!!!!!! Result! It helped that it was a planned day out rather than a last minute decision to go!
