So updates, its been a crazy couple of days...you know that saying everything happens for a reason, well I always believed its true but sometimes life just reminds you...so we cancelled the spa day and managed to get a refund, and opted in favour of visiting my friend at home...well yesterday got a message from my friend to cancel today on account that baby seemed to be in a hurry to meet the world and come early lol! Thankfully mother and baby are perfectly well, both still in hospital and doing well!! I have fallen in love with the little one shes perfect, havent seen her yet just vids and pictures...honestly my heart swelled double the size...

anyway sorry distracted there (proud aunty moments lol) Anyway by cancelling early we got our money back but also wasnt in the middle of nowhere when baby came so mother and baby safe and sound upon early arrival...Im so happy and grateful for this its untrue!! Sometimes something that seems a pain is truely a blessing!! Just wanted to share this as was thinking sometimes things seem dire/dissapointing/stalling or just plain difficult but you know what life is unfolding as its meant to and will work out for our highest good..trust it will all work out!! sorry im just happy, relieved and emotional i guess...but its true!! now back to debt busting:

So today £7907.85 and 40days to clear it!! Call me crazy but I say its doable lol! How im not sure but where theres a will theres a way lol!
Well today me and the rest of the group are meeting for lunch instead...catch up and mini celebration. Loving the fact its a girl as was given a sterling silver baby frame (pin a pink box) my mum brought for my cousin but turned out she had a boy..knew that would come in handy, will add that to baby shower gift. Just need a card & wrapping paper

From preeing SS1K diary I have been researching this Marie Kondo chick, and shes got me all geared up to have a super declutter, basically if I dont love it its getting sold/donated/recycled...hopefully some of my toot will turn to loot (thanks SS1K)... Will work on this as soon as I get back.

spends today £20 petrol (on empty so top up for month) £6 train fare (for today) and lunch (budget £10-15).

Oh Weigh in not so great 12:12st:eek: This was shocking so yeah need to work on this too...best make this a light lunch! I will be slim and I will be financially free by June 26th...wish me luck...

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day...sun is shining, weather is sweet xXx
