Busy work day followed by an extra meeting for the side hustle job so another few pounds in the bank for that one. Unexpected so a nice bonus, am going to be mega tired by Friday though! Still got a little bit of money left to top up my petrol tomorrow morning and hubby gets paid tomorrow too.Mortgage £119,533 going down slowly

Booked in working full time for the next three weeks so very happy with that. Tax still not sorted from one agency so got to try and get that sorted tomorrow as HMRC have sent me my new tax code so that should be some more money coming back to me. Not spending much as I'm working and tired, but got a few things that need fixing. Oven door has come out and slipped down so that's a priority and car MOT is also due and I know it will need new brake pad and one new tyre as they were on warning at last service. F-I-l has just given us some money towards getting that all done so that's a great help. Half term week is now a working week for me in a different local authority so not going to be spending anything much in the way of days out. Hubby is off so he can look after the kids for a nice change!Mortgage £119,533 going down slowly

Woohoo finally got the tax sorted so the pay for last week is a lot more than usual. Got about 6 side hustle meetings to attend too so that should bring in some more cash along the way. Still haven't been paid any mileage so that should also be in February pay packet. Am going to sit down with all the payslips at the weekend and work out how much I'm bringing in and where to start debtbusting if at all possible.Mortgage £119,533 going down slowly
