My Diary v3.0

Ooh, £9.50 due to be paid from Q.co! This plus this weeks transfer from my current account means I will have reached my 1st £100 extra repayment to OH... making my DFD one week sooner 25/10/2015!! whoop whoop!

Ok, so the 6th item of the month sold on fleabay last night - it does amaze me as it has been relist a good few times and now it has finally gone. That means I am now about £45 cleared funds for the month!
Running low on listed items - as we are away this weekend, and what is left on there still has plenty of time still to run, I think I will work on this next week!

Morning!


Only a few hours at work this morning and then off on my trip with OH to London for the weekend!


New weekly wage amount for the first time this week - I am £21.98 a week better off! So, as per my plan I have sent £20 to my "repay OH early fund" (original £10 and an extra £10 from my increase), leaving a little extra in my current account.


Busy, busy here! Be back later!

Afternoon All - back safe n sound from London.... all good with OH so really pleased with that.


Had another fleabay item sell on Saturday - so that is 7 items and just over £53 cleared this month! Happy Happy Natty! lol

Monies due to the "repay OH early fund" are now in, so I have reduced my DFD in my signature to reflect that I am now going to be DF one week earlier! In a maximum of 5 weeks I will be able to knock another week off! YAY!

I am now just £4 (or 10%) shy of the amount needed to check-out of O.Poll! I will be scouring the site very regularly to try and get up to the magic £40 by the end of the week. Out of my control though as I cannot magic up surveys to do! lol That would be a lovely boost to my "repay OH early fund"!! Between O.Poll and Q.co I have enough money pending to know another week off my DFD!! I would love to get my DFD into September!!


Nothing else sold on fleabay, so my total was just over £53 for June. Not too shabby!


Hot, hot hot here today! And I have circuit training tonight, so that will be fun!!


Have a great day - enjoy the sunshine if you get a chance! xxx

natsplatnat

Just about survived circuits last night. It was 33'c outside and the room had no air-con, so I hate to think how hot it was in there!


Have been having a quick look through the calendar and I have 27 days house-sitting booked in between now and early November - so that will be a nice few additional pennies as and when it happens!


Could do with building up some more cashback too - but I suppose it is a false economy unless you are actually in need of what you are buying!! lol

Morning All!


Warm down here again after yesterday being a bit fresher! Had fish n chips on the beach last night...Mmmm!


O.Poll now up to £37.00 - I have a feeling that the magical £40.00 checkout will be quite a while coming.... like 3 weeks-ish! Not long I know - but long enough when I am sooo close!


Been looking at post-DF budgeting again..... really must stop it as I am developing all these grand ideas!! lol. A must though will be an emergency fund + money set aside to pay car tax, car MOT and servicing along with tyres (big expense at about £250 each!). Have decided to start that budgeting in January, as I want to get through Christmas first!


The "repay OH early fund" is now at £125.03!! That's about 1 week and 2 days closer to being DF! Yes, you are going to get a day by day countdown now! lol


Have a good weekend all! I am going hovercrafting on Sunday (part of OH's birthday present from Feb!!!)

Have been looking ahead in my spreadsheet and where I have not 're-borrowed' any money from OH, I have been covering my share of the CC in full and it looks like there is a bit of a pinch coming up in August / September. At least I know it's coming and I have some money due my way at the end of July / early August for house-sitting (somewhere between £120 and £180.) Was hoping to use this to re-pay OH early but if needs must, it is going to be used elsewhere to keeps the books balanced!

Well, I was just looking at my spreadsheet (as I do!!) and was playing around with forecasting some credit card payments.... and the 'pinch' as mentioned above was most definitely there!! But..... then I noticed I had no wages in my spreadsheet for that week!! What a mistake to make! The good news is things aren't as tight as they looked and all extra house-sitting monies should be able to go to my "repay OH early fund"!!


whoop whoop!

The missing fleabay item has re-appeared and has been listed!! It was in DSS's room - but he didn't know anything about it! Oh well I have it now!


Hovercrafting yesterday was brilliant fun! It requires quite a bit more effort than you think when you turn! But it was great - OH would now like a hovercraft!! lol
