Working towards being debt free and a new house.

Hello diary.
I've been neglecting you :eek:
Not much going on here at the moment, still not exchanged contracts on the new house yet (starting to get impatient :rotfl: )
14 days till DH gets his bonus and only 2 days until the next loan payment :j
It's all looking good for dropping below the £20k debt mark for the end of the month :j yay!

Afternoon diary
Another loan payment down :j woohoo!
12 days until payday (and bonus) :j hope it comes around fast
I for got to say I got my german words all written down (all 233 of them) but not on flashcards. I've put them in a study book for the time being as it was easier to categorise them and colour code them that way at least that's one thing done I kept meaning to do

Isn't it nice to have another payment crossed off - hope the loan payments are not going to go on too long for you. I still love your countdown method though.

Are the flashcard of German words not of things you could dot around the house to learn them easier (maybe if you have the word 'Bathroom' then pop it on the bathroom door) or are they all random words?
- Just a thought

Joining you on your countdown to bonus pay

Good morning diary
5 days till payday :j
DH has seen the letters about his bonus being sorted and thinks he should have his letter by Monday at least I'll have one days notice to plan where to allocate the money

Plan for today, sit down and sort out remaining money in the bank (have nearly £500 left :eek: sure it belongs somewhere :think: )
Make yet more cakes
Try and learn some of my words. DH tested me this week and I'm truly awful I can translate German words to English quite well, I just suck at English to German
Do the housework too (that's washing up washing, vacuuming and tidying)

Is there enough hours in my day today :think:

Morning diary
Well yesterday wasn't the busy day I hoped
I spent almost the entire day making cakes, running around after kids and shopping where needed.
DH got his letter about his bonus and pay rise yesterday. He's getting pretty much what he was paid last March so that makes it a bit easier to budget at least I have the weekend to work on figures
Family dinner out tomorrow, it's going to be expensive

Morning diary
Woohoo, it's payday tomorrow :j
Credit card spend has slipped a bit this last month
Think we've put over £600 on it so need to get that wiped back off ASAP :eek:

Sat in the kitchen trying to tune out the racket the kids are making (where do they get their energy from at 9am?!)
Think I'll over haul my signature, I like these % paid off ones better
I'm gonna post my old siggy here so I can refer back and put some of it back on at a later date
