    Update on goals.

    Paid the following to savings;

    * £200.00 to H2B ISA 01.05.19
    * £400.00 to Disneyland Paris fund 01.05.19
    * £140.00 to Credit Union 01.05.19 - Payrise straight to savings

    £0.10 away from a £25.00 cash out with Onepoll. Just got a £10.00 Amazon voucher so could exceed this goal!

    Facebay sales - sold 1 item which is a M&S jug with flowers, meeting the lady tonight so if that happens that's £20.00 which I will add to my savings.

    SBCC I am still using too much, paid off £132.00 to that yesterday. Been spending too much on coffees, lunches and dinners out. My brother had a stroke so we have been spoiling him this week but I'm nearly out of funds so that will have to stop.

    I'm trying to stop being such a chunk, work in progress :rotfl:

    beanielou - It's hard isn't it. I just seem to keep making excuses after excuses but it has to stop.

    He's just exactly the same, weakness all down his right side. Physio has been to see him so it's just seeing how long it takes to all go back to normal if it ever does.

    Thanks both of you.
