    No sky refund yet - OH has said he'll call if its not in there by Friday. I'm feeling really on top of things again. Did my spreadsheet for next month which is something I've been slacking on so looking forward to payday and doing a money shuffle!


    My balance transfer has gone through meaning I have £677.45 of interest attracting debt - which will obviously be the top priority! Hopefully be cleared within 3 months, as obviously I will still need to make payments on the other debts. Must check in to the new cc account and check when the minimum payment is due and how much and then update my spreadsheet accordingly.


    In non-money news - I just did a sub 30minute 5k run! I swear my running watch is magical as normally I'm a 32minute+ 5k runner! I will admit that it was a very flat run which clearly helps! Also felt great to go out on my lunch break for a run as its something I haven't done for a while but wakes me up for the afternoon!
    Debt as at 5 June 2023 - £15,600.89
    Current debt - £6,450.00
    Total paid off - £9,150.89 (58% paid off)

    Ok so I did my spreadsheet for next month on Thursday only for my lodger to tell me he might be moving out as he's stuck for work at the moment! He's never there anyway so I get his point but it annoyed me that he texted as he actually a friend so feel like he should have told us. Anyway I haven't responded as thought he may take the hint and chat to me over the weekend but haven't seen him! So have to now re-jig my spreadsheet on the basis that he is moving out!


    In running news I smashed my parkrun pb by 2mins 13 secs and I had to stop and retie my shoelace! I may also be doing Tough Mudder again with my cousin - need to make a decision as the price increases in a couple of days!

    Just realised my debt is back under the £5k mark!!! Sofa payment came out of £73.66 and I just paid £77.45 off the remainder that was left on my Halifax cc, which takes that down to a round £200. Of course that was the card I did the balance transfer for so there's still £860.10 of that debt on the new cc. Hopefully come payday the old cc debt will go below £1,000!
