Turned the heating on throughout the house yesterday and had a lovely fire going last night.

£4.80 payable on TCB so an am@zon voucher requested. £16.42 OP sent today as a result of fleabay sales!

Well done on listing the clothes you don't wear. It's a faff but will hopefully make you money and make space.

Just wanted to mention that I have recently joined DD up to a maths app called Doodle Maths. She HATES maths, but will sit for 10-30 minutes a day on this earning stars and it seems really good. I paid £3.99 for the first month and we got stickers and stuff through the post. Just in case your littlies are maths averse (and it gives you a little break!)

I just commented on your post before I read this - that's the one we use. They really enjoy it and do it daily.

Life has been too busy again, mortgage paid and balance now at £95. Managed to OP nearly £100 during the last month so pleased with that.

Still spendy with wedding stuff, all be over soon!

Good news, I think in that we had a letter from old bank saying that because they didn't tell us something about an old loan, they are refunding us £600. Hoping that will hit the account this week, but honestly, some of that will get swallowed up with stuff whilst we are away at the wedding. Nice little unexpected bonus though.

Neighbour told me I'd lost weight last night which was nice! Still around the stone loss mark. Have ordered fancy new suck it in and make it disappear pants for the wedding - they perform miracles right??

Divvied up pennies this morning and paid £64 off CC3 to get that into the next hundred bracket and £50 off CC4, though wish I'd made that £51 to get under £1k = hmmm - off to pay £1 now as that will make me feel better!

We're seeing massive progress after just a few weeks, which is really nice to see.

Hope your new magic pants work. :rotfl:

What a bonus getting that money back from the bank. We love CP too and both times have been Nov/Dec so I would love to be there in the Spring or Summer. Your children will love it am sure, my two are desperate to go back despite going abroad twice this year!

Well done on weight loss too, it's not easy finding motivation this time of year.

I love it when someone notices youve lost weight, gives you that boost to keep going.

Great news on the £600 :beer: xx

Still waiting for the money from the bank for the loan. Electricity provider transferred this week and we were £116 in credit so waiting for that to credit as well. New provider has quoted £48 a month which is crazy so i'm still putting the same amount away each money as that will catch up with us big time soon.

Just got a £10 voucher for am@zon today - determined next year to leave all these points alone and use them for birthdays and Christmas.

Managed to get DS's pressie from the man in red from Mr T this week using my vouchers, so cost us £1. DD is a total nightmare this year, struggling to think of much to get her at all!

DD says she wants everything she sees, but doesn't actually really want any one thing. Essentially, I just pick what I think I can bare the most. :rotfl: Playmobil, Lego, dolls, science stuff, board games. I avoid anything that looks 50p to make and costs £20 (tsum tsums, shopkins etc).
