Some good news is that I overestimated my cc amount so I have about £50 more to play with than I thought. Which is good as I was wondering why I was so short.
My first Christmas card out is being delivered tomorrow. My mum and sis are popping out to my Godmother's house to visit so I have passed it to them for delivery. Well, saves me 53p! *shakes head, still in disbelief*
Got a busy week and weekend. Sis is getting married on Saturday. I have wall to wall "stuff" to do this week. The bossman is out of the office today and I am quite quiet work-wise today so making the most of catching up properly with diaries. I finish at 2pm tomorrow (making the favours), half day on Thursday (wedding rehersal), and on Friday I have to pop into town at lunchtime so not a lot of time to myself for the next few days.
Nothing else to tell moneywise at the moment. Still no futher forward with OnePoll...Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
Mortgage today = £161,690.76
300 271 payments to go.House buyout fund £21,000/£40,000

OnePoll payout requested :j If it arrives within the 28 days as suggested, it will be just in time for Christmas Day, when every shop is shut! (Not that I spend it, it goes towards the mortgage). I'm not going to bother anymore. Takes too long, not enough reward quick enough. I have already given up on others.
PAYDAY :j:j Just have to wait for it hitting my bank account. Looking forward to having some real money in my purse again.

Ooh, it's been a while
It's snowing and I am miserable Just wanted to get that out of the way so that I am not ending this post on a low note.
The wedding was really good. Everyone had a great day and the only hitch (apart from the obvious) was a piece of the wedding dress was missing so sis was 40 minutes late :eek: All's well that ends well though and I now have a b-i-l
Things have been getting a bit tight money-wise. I have been having to spend where I have wanted to avoid. Luckily, I just received notice that I will be getting a CSA payment early next week. Just in time really as the available balance on the CC was getting dusted off there. I feel lucky.
The best news (for me) is that I haven't felt ill so far this winter :j:T The last approx. 3 years I have been ill at this time so I am really appreciating feeling well. I am still exhausted a lot but there is a difference between exhaustion and illness in my health journey.
I can't believe Christmas is two weeks today :eek::eek: What a fast year.Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
