  • IOU
    £160.00 - Owed to my savings

    Why oh why do I do this :mad:

    I'm taking control of it now, no more IOUs & at least I only owe this time to my savings not to a CC.

    Won't be able to pay anything back this month, but from August 2017 I will need to pay back £32.00 a month at least to get it back to even for December 2017.

  • £126.00 - Jacobite Steam Train :staradmin
    £160.00 - The Moorings Hotel :starmod:
    £135.00 - Dumfries Arms Hotel Honeymoon Suite, DBB :starmod:
    £49.00 - Turnberry Afternoon Tea :starmod:
    £366.00 - Spendies :staradmin :starmod:

    We always go a bit spendy around Anniversary time but we deserve it :p

    :staradmin Used CC
    :starmod: Savings

    So a bit of a mix this year but this is honestly been the best we have ever budgeted for this.

    :staradmin Jacobite was booked last year when I was still spending too much on the CCs - my bad

    :starmod: The Moorings was PIF with £1.00 coins out of fat little Priscilla the piggy bank :p Dumfries Arms stay & Turnberry afternoon tea both paid for with a mix of £1.00, £2.00 & £0.50 coins we had building up all over the place, cashed them in this week. Also these 2 were purchased on Itison so got great deals on both :money:

    :staradmin :starmod: The spendies I have listed as a bit of a mix, the reason for this is because I paid £300 less to the debt a couple of months ago to keep this in the main account as I knew we would be needing it & the rest is from coins saved up.

    Suppose it's an improvement & that's all that matters eh?!?!?

  • That's amazing that so little was spent on cards. Look at how it would have been two years ago. I love that you manage to enjoy life while keeping going.
