    Well Hello diary oops been a while since I popped in.

    Well paid off 30 last week and 100 pounds off today. Total now 5118.99

    Had to buy a new radiator for the house, old was crumbling away with rust when I tried to paint it. Ordered it through work so should get it lot cheaper but still have to pay plumber 60 pounds for fitting it today.

    Trying to avoid using my overdraft but going to very tight next few weeks.

    Also agreed to buy some furniture at a steal of price off friend for 100 pounds which means can bin argos furniture in my spare room.(Maybe get something for the wardrobe). However this was not budgeted for so leaves me tad broke. Such good quality furniture couldn't resist.

    Been busy doing up my house last two weekends, decluttering and painting. Bathroom has a whole new lease of life without spending anything, had the paint in. Kept me out of the shops anyway.

    Happy to report my Quidco payment from BT has been confirmed, so should hit my bank in 5 days time. Very smiley today £160 woo hoo.

    Will try put some towards cc1 and keep some for Emergency Fund/treat myself a little.

    Avoided shops today, made some lentil soup for lunch and used up blackberry/apples in freezer for a crumble.

    Washing out on line whilst it was dry, walk done and watched grandson swimming lesson.

    Cleaned out some kitchen cupboards amazing I can find things now.

    Thanks Bob.

    Happy to report total debt now stands at 4400.00. Thanks to quidco, extra pay.

    However used my credit card to pay for my car battery 100 pounds yesterday but will clear that next month all being well.

    Glad it's the weekend, felt flat all week not helped by not being 100%and today marks 2 yrs since I lost my sister. So a weepy mess today - not like me and don't remember being this bad last year.

    So make the most of life folks x

    Thanks abba and monz. :grouphug:Sorry been a whirlwind month haven't posted on here, Glad its nearly over, January not the best of months and daughter left this week for 18 months of travelling.:sad::(

    However this month I have cleared 580.00 over 12% of this years starting debt.

    Balance now stands at 4200.00 as at 29.1.16:j:j

    Target to clear 249.00 on cc1 by mid February which will leave me with just 2 cards to work on.

    Not going to try and make any more payments this month as I need some money to get a haircut and my poorly feet sorted out this weekend.
