My journey to a debt free life

Loving hearing about the sulky chickens.

You always make me laugh with stories of them chickens. They probably are having a good old moan!

our local community ask for odds and ends of yarn to help with their knitting groups for some of the vulnerable people. I gave a bag full last time but seem to have accumulated another bag full here to replace it. I’ll have to email them again to give them my others I’ve bought and not used!

See I told you not to put the chairs away yet 🤣 We often get good weather right up to early October so I keep mine out until mid October. 

Your chickens sound real characters 😆

Well I had quite a productive day in the end. The house was cleaned and then I sat down with my budget folder and worked out my budget for SC so I can phone them and do my review on Monday, I need to check and print off a couple of wage slips while I'm at work tomorrow so I can tell them how much I'm earning now. If there are any problems I'm going to go self managed, I might even do that anyway at some point because it's more flexible.
I have also updated my signature to reflect the bank account as it is now. So the Christmas/ present fund stands at £500, the house fund has dropped down to £614 and the emergency fund is still at £1000. Im happy with these numbers at the moment and I should be able to build the house fund back up again now. I am so pleased that I have done all this work to my house and I haven't used any credit to do it, it's all been paid for with savings. I just need to work hard to build it back up again now so I can do the rest of the jobs that need doing
The plumbing and heating man was supposed to message me last Tuesday to let me know about doing the radiators but I haven't heard from him at all😟 I'm now going to try one of the others who were recommended so will phone one of them on Monday and hope they will do the job as it badly needs doing, luckily it hasn't leaked since but I know it's going to go in a major way at some point so I need it done ASAP, I'm not going to bother with the bathroom radiator now, I will just get this one be fixed and the boiler serviced 

I'm working a long day tomorrow and I'm dreading it already, it was crazy on Friday on the ward so god knows what tomorrow will be like. I'm off to be shortly because I have to be up early 😫😫

Your pots are looking good - it's a lovely feeling to have an emergency fund isn't it?😃

I hope work isn't too full on for you tomorrow. 🤞

How was work? It sounds so dire at the minute. X

Hope you’re not too tired after work.
I bet you are very pleased to see the numbers coming down. It always feels a long slog but is so worth it when you get there…..keep going. Just enjoy sitting finishing your jumper in your lovely room that has been paid for without getting any more debt 👏👏👏

Thanks SG, work was actually not too bad despite being short staffed,mind you two members of staff came in despite being on holiday otherwise we would have been in trouble. 
I love my emergency fund, it's so nice to know I can replace an item if it breaks etc

Work was ok yesterday, it is dire at the moment so it was nice to get a slightly less crazy day, today wasn't looking good though so I'm relieved I'm not there, I'm in clinics tomorrow and Tuesday is a busy clinic day so that might be a bit manic but we will see x
