Working towards being debt free and a new house.

Hey DB
Been working all weekend (boo!) but on the plus side it means I spend less
Lots of housework to do today, looks like a bombs gone off here but the boxes sitting around everywhere probably don't help :rotfl:

Good morning diary
Having a huge tidy and throw out today, unfortunately packing isn't going to well Too much stuff and not enough room :rotfl:
Been filling in surveys and watching videos non stop for a week or so now and have clocked up a fair few SB. Unfortunately I've realised the airmiles I have and am currently acruing are probably enough to get me to Eastbourne and back again :mad: so I'm debating hitting that idea on the head, we worked out we'd need over 600,000 airmiles to get us all to Disney world and i have about 10,000 so far :rotfl: the rate i'm going we'll have enough to get there when I'm 90
Debt wise things are going OK, I'm kind of defalted they're not going as well as I'd hoped clothes, school fees, travel costs and various other things all seem to be adding up I've no idea how the debt busting forecast looks for the end of the month, I don't want to depress myself further by speculating.
On the plus side, I've barely used my overdraft this month :j (used it for 2 days) and haven't used a credit card since the end of last month (although that will change next week as I need to order a new fridge)
Roll on pay day!

Good afternoon diary
We doubled the size of our storage unit this weekend, wonder how long it will take us to fill it
Already sent 3 cars full of stuff and the house is still looking cluttered :mad:
It's gonna be no end of fun taking it all back out again after we've moved :rotfl:
Still no exact date for moving yet, the later the better for us I'm hoping we get £1,000 back after we've paid off all debts after we've moved, but that's a whole new challenge

I finally ordered my new fridge :j managed to get it for half price in the end, very mse :money:
Unfortunately the credit card has taken a massive hit as the parking permit needed renewing and the storage unit was paid for at the weekend.
Oh well, at least we haven't got to shell out on these things when we move.
Just need to find the money to pay the bill by the middle of next month now

Just logged on to the credit card account and the balance is at £900 :eek:
Statement cycle runs mid month so I now have to find £900 by the middle of next month if I don't want to accrue interest.
It's gonna be a tight month
Oh well, it's a challenge I suppose :j

Good morning my poor neglected diary :eek:
Little one has chickenpox at the moment and I'm still working way to hard so it's been virtually impossible to get on here
Meeting tomorrow with the builder, hopefully we get a rough idea of when we're moving :j
Payday tomorrow, fingers crossed I can make headway with this stupidly high credit card bill :mad: not logged on yet to see the full extent of it, suppose that's my first task for today
Hope the weather improves by lunchtime or my washing will never dry

It's £905 :eek:
It could be worse, it could be in 4 figures :rotfl:
It shouldn't be too hard to clear, I have 0% balance transfer available to me as well if I need it, but that's just delaying paying it so want to avoid that.

New month, new attempt at posting on here more often
Well I managed to pay £305 off the credit card debt so far and think I've found another £300 to take another chunk off, hopefully I'll find the rest in time
SB has so far turned out to be much better than I expected, I've done £35 so far and been on it for just under a month :j at this rate I'll smash my target for Xmas shopping :j
Packing's going ok so far but probably not quick enough, they think we'll be in our new house by the end of the month
Better do a calculation on total debts owed, will be good to see it below £20k :j
