    Thanks everyone :)

    I have been working on my mam's shawl and that is nearly finished now :) then once I have done that I need to do a hat for my dad and a scarf for his wife, they live in Spain so I need to get theirs done asap so I can send it over

    Pay was lovely this month, I had four days overtime on, I am in on sunday this weekend, which makes three days so far for November pay so that's awesome :)

    I have paid the cards/they are being paid this week so I have update my signature, I am also closing on my POAMAYC (I run mine from December to November) with a total of £13,912.57 so I succeeded with my target and more

    We have now also hit the 20% mark for the mortgage woo hoo :)

    I have bought a couple of christmas presents with my vouchers so we have £700 left in the christmas savings (£100 went in from this pay) I plan on doing most my shopping in the next couple of weeks, so the £100 I will be putting in in nov will go to some last minute buys, and our christmas food, we always get is from M+S (well we have the last couple of years and we love it)

    I have had a fabulous half term off with the kids, I don't drive yet, we live in the sticks lol it's hard to do stuff lol but I am pleased that 3 days out of the 5 we have managed to get out and about, we met some of DD's friends at soft play on monday, then we went to the cinema on wednesday (which took 6 hours using public transport which is insane when you think the cinema is 10 mins down the road!) and then today I took them to a small local skate park for them to use their scooters, they loved it, it was the first time we had been :)

    DD has done well, as she mentioned a sore throat on monday and when I looked in her mouth her tonsils were giant, I looked on NHS and as they didn't look infected it said she didn't need a dr, she is back to her normal self now but her left tonsil is still large, rang the dr and they had no appointments this week, so I need to ring next week for a non-urgent appointment for after school

    I hope everyone is having a good holidays xx

    Absolutely fantastic job on the amount you have paid off. You will be completely debt free before you know it :)
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.
  • That great about the debt.
    Ouch to the tonsils though. i hope they settle down quickly. Sore throats really aren't nice. x

    Thankfully DD is fine in herself, other than a swollen left tonsil, I am hoping it will return to normal soon :)

    Sneaky chinese for tea tonight (treat with my overtime money), we were going to do fireworks tonight but it's raining, so we have moved them to tomorrow when it's not going to rain xx

  • Overtime is good. Unfortunately, in my job, I have rarely been able to do it. I remember being in a job where you used to get a Christmas bonus too!

    That was a long long time ago. x
