Looks good.
If you do the fence, break it down into X panels each time, makes it less daunting. Don't forget to add rest and eat to your list.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.1 -

Welcome back my lovely. I have just been to As"a and spent £26.00. I haven't really been keeping a spending diary this month (as kept treating myself) but will cover high credit card bill with help from my next month's salary. Then i am back to being cautious with money. I owe my dad about £500 for all the shopping and cash he has given me in the last few months.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

It’s good that you will be able to cover all your spending with next month’s salary SW. I will join you back on the savings bandwagon as my spending has been high this month and I’ve only been on holiday for 2 weeks 😆
Does your dad actually want the money back ? I’m not saying take it for granted but if he’s like my DF they are just glad to help out. If you are paying back I’m sure he will not expect it all in one go.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗
