Love the postbox and the secret stash 😀Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1205

The secret stash is my annual carers payment of £150 plus £50 from my bonus then £40 for my hairdresser’s appointment later this month. I had to put a little bit of my bonus away just for me even though I’m saving for the bedroom refurb. I’m so looking forward to the day I can meet my friends for lunch again and have a wander round the shops.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8

Happy Good Friday 🐣
Nothing particularly exciting planned for today. Need to go to the local shops to stock up on household cleaning products and take the dog for a walk or two.I bought the Team Tomm app yesterday, it was £4.99, been thinking about getting it for ages. Onebrokelady knows what it is, it’s a cleaning/organising app, allegedly you get more done in less time. Anyway I’m on boot camp week, yesterday was the kitchen, today is the bathroom. I like anything you can tick boxes off I’m weird like that 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8 -
Sounds an interesting app! I usually write a list on a helpfully printed notepad that has the lovely boxes to tick off😊😁
Love the secret stash! Well done on getting the mortgage under the 15k mark.paydbx2025 #26 £890/£5000 . Mortgage start £148k June 23 - now £138k.
2025 savings challenge £0/£2000 EF £140. Savings 2 £30.00. 177
