My Journey To Early Retirement

EarlyRetirement

So I am now officially 50 years young. :eek:

First day back in work after my holiday and I have found it hard going, used to an afternoon nap. :rotfl: I was offered an interview for the job I applied for however I have decided not to attend after weighing up the pros and cons.

Need to get back into making my small payments and all the other money saving things I was doing before I went away.

Looking forward to payday on Friday.

Small payment of £1.70 made to Barclaycard, I need to property work out how much I have overpaid to update my signature.

Today was a NSD. :beer: Will have to buy fuel tomorrow as I have a meeting I need to attend in another town. Took lunch and a snack into work today, getting back into the habit.

I have also been sorting out a pile of my own clothes to list on my personal eBay account and if these sell the money can go towards Barclaycard. Will list on Sunday on a seven day auction.

Dinner will be something with tomatoes this evening as we still have sooo many in the greenhouse. I have given loads away and made spicy tomato soup, as well as tomato sauce. Need to look for more tomato recipies,

eBay and PayPal on personal account are linked up.

Really need to update more regularly. Have had a few computer issues that have not helped.

On a brighter not I have paid off £5500 to Halifax C.C so one debt down. :j Funds came from a PPI claim I didn't know I had. I knew I never had PPI on any of my old credit cards however I did have on my loans which I did not realise. Really surprised about the amount I received back.

So I really need to get my head back in the game and start clearing more of the debt. I have made a payment of £40.00 to Barclaycard today, first over payment I have made for a while. I also really need to get my big girl pants on and work out my debt total. I will do this before the end of the week and post the amounts.

Few items listed on my personal eBay account today so fingers crossed they will sell and I really need to get listing on my business account. Which is how I intend to spend the rest of the afternoon until its time to collect the grandchildren from school.
