    Payday on Wednesday and after making a payment to the flat debt, I have now paid off 80% :j:j Next target is 85%, I will have to pay £115.44 to achieve it which seems doable by the end of March.

    Paid my sister £60 yesterday and also bought travel insurance £11.65.

    Payday from 2nd job today - £71.10
    - £31.65 holiday
    - £30 home
    - £9.45 debt

    There's currently £130 in the holiday fund. I plan to have a look at flights for my friends wedding as hopefully that will be enough to cover them.

    Home fund is starting to save for little home improvements that me and OH have been discussing but also to have some money put by if the washing machine, cooker, etc goes kaput.

    Got a kettlebells class booked for 9.30 so suppose I better move off the sofa.
