Must feel so good to be able to look forward and plan the next stage.

All down to your tenacity with tackling the debt.
I am so pleased for you :-)

Thanks Boodedoo

Debt payments are now £10.17/£93.33, 91.4% paid .

OH gave me £40 yesterday which will go towards this weekend away. I'll also put whatever money I get from 2nd job tomorrow towards it.

Spent £19.50 on a pair of jeans yesterday (much needed as had to throw a pair out) and £15.22 on a top up shop.

Still need to book travel tickets for the hen weekend/getting to the airport so will do that tonight or tomorrow.

Don't think there's anything else to report, long day today as training from 9-4 and then doing a late shift at my work to cover holidays. Ah well it's all extra cash

Had a lovely weekend away with OH and we stayed within our budget We opted to get a chippy instead of going to a restaurant for tea on Saturday night to save cash and I had a yummy gluten free fish supper We went to see the Kelpies which I've been wanting to do for ages and also went a walk along the canal. Had some really good discussions while we were away about finances and the future.

Got £12.55 from a survey site today so £2.55 to the debt, £5 to the car fund and £5 to the holiday fund. I've now paid £21.88/£93.33 to the debt, 91.9% paid

I've booked the tickets for travelling to the hen weekend so £26.50 spent on this. I've decided to drive, park at my sister's and then get the bus to the airport from hers for our holiday. It will probably work out a little more expensive than getting the bus all the way but is just so much easier and saves time.

Got the final bill from old energy company - £49.13 so will pay this on Friday from 2nd job wages. On night shift tonight so better go and get myself organised.

I'm working a late shift today for 2nd job which should get me around £50 and my pay slip is through for main job so better start working on the budget for that.

Been continuing to pay £1 to the debt each day and have paid £14.55 since the last post. £36.43/£93.33, 92.8% paid.

Currently having a bad IBS flare up so not been doing much other than working and then coming home to lie on the sofa and feel sorry for myself . Felt a bit better yesterday so had quite a productive day about the house. Hopefully it will have calmed down by the weekend as don't particularly want to go on the hen weekend feeling like this.

Drove OH to a nearby village to pick up a guitar that he found for £15 on fb then spent £14 on solar lights for the garden and a new doormat. I also spent £6 on a pair of shoes.

Payday from 2nd job - £53.05, £50 for hen weekend and £3.05 to the debt. Have paid various bits and pieces for the hen weekend up front so hoping it will be a fairly cheap weekend esp as I'm still not feeling great and won't be drinking much.

Flat debt now stands at £107.37, 95.3% paid
