Hi all!
I'm a fairly new DFW lurker/poster so hello everyone hope you don't mind me joining in
Some things I have achieved or plan to this weekend:
Replenished the sealed pot as I had been raiding it a bit
checked all banking and savings accounts
meal planned until the next payday on 27th (sealed pot opening day too
)
OH put some items on ebay
Finishing off some decorating in the spare bedroom. No spends needed as all supplies are already in. OH to fit a new ceiling light which was bought in the sales ages ago - £40 reduced to £13 :j
I've done a few shops this week and bought £20 of meat from the local butchers, with what I have in the stores and freezer already this should be plenty to get us past payday, other than topping up on fresh things, milk, fruit, veggies etc. I have £35 left for this and will do my best not to bust it!
December will for obvious reasons be more spendy, we have a long planned weekend away in London to see War of the Worlds live on stage. Only some pocket money is needed for this and I am going to buy Oyster cards for our travel (thats £50 for the two of us alone!) but hotel, train travel and gig tickets already paid for.
Hoping my sealed and virtual sealed pots will cover most of this plus we are sticking to a budget of £10 per person for Xmas, so next year we can really batten down the hatches and kill the debt
Sorry I am rambling now! Have a good day all
Let's get ready to bumble! :rotfl:0 -
Today I have/will:
1. Been to my parents house and transferred the money which I then used to pay off CC
2. Had breakfast at my parents!
3. Done a load of washing on a quick wash which is now on the line
4. Cooking a roast (which smells lovely)
5. Make a pasta bake for tomorrow's dinner
6. Clean the bathroom
7. Thrown out some flowers but kept the box/bag to use got a future present (even better that the person who gave me the flowers didn't fill out the tag!)
Just had to quickly dash outside to get the washing back in as it's now raining
Debt as at 5 June 2023 - £15,600.89
Current debt - £4,800
Total paid off - £10,800.89 (69% paid off)0 -
