The work week has finished for me and it has been  insanely busy, no lunch 2 days time just ran away with me, 
Have managed to do a. 30 minute workout every morning this week and feel better for it. Plus walking at lunchtime , only happened twice . 

Been to the dentist today no fillings all ok but I am having some cosmetic work done the 1st week of June £300 but I have waited ages to get it done . 

.
Got my proof that my loan is now paid off so all done.

I have one  credit card that I use and pay off in full every month and I will continue to do this , I never hope to be in debt again. 

Have set myself up with the aim of saving as much as I can every month to get a good pot together for when I am 60 about 21 months away and a larger holiday fund , that's the aim anyway.

I have one card I pay every month. I save the Mr T points for meals out etc with it. It’s such a good feeling to be dh - well done. I’m sure with your determination you won’t get into debt again 👍👍
 Enjoy the long weekend - hope you have something nice planned

Today has been the day I thought I would never reach I am DEBT FREE , bit the bullet and paid of my loan £645. 59 , I owe nobody nothing for the first time since 2010. 

I still have my savings around £4200 and now intend to start some serious saving . 

May even start a new diary. Glass of wine tonight definitely. 

Wow that is such great news Sunshine, there's no feeling like it 🎊🎉👏🍾. Congratulations 😃 .

Good luck with your savings pots. I'm very aware that I'm 67 in ten years time and so I only have ten years to pay into a pension and save as much money as possible so I'm not living in poverty when I retire. It really focuses the mind knowing how little time is left to earn money.

Thank you everyone. 

The weekend has flown by , Friday was the usual shopping and picking the DGC up from school

Saturday I had my 2nd vaccine and have had no reactions again so am feeling relieved about that . DGD came to stay Saturday night, so playing with dolls and trying to do ballet moves were all done. She slept 12 hours so I can't complain about that. We went to my parents for breakfast and managed to eat outside it was a bit chilly but we persevered and they loved seeing her. I did the usual housework and ironing after dropping her off at home. 

Today the forecast was dire so I got the bus into the big town to buy some much needed bras from M@S , I had vouchers from doing some surveys so it only cost me £2 . 

Went up to Debenhams and bought a few things , can't believe it's going , the building is such an iconic part of the big town , very sad. Got rather wet coming home , but the bus was empty so no issues spreading out. I have done walking and did my cardio workout this morning. 

Have done some more cleaning and now going to watch a film . 

Tomorrow my car is having a new exhaust pipe . 

Have a good evening .

It’s so sad about Debenhams. It was my go to place for handbags, couldn’t beat the Designers at Debenhams range😢

It's interesting that Debenhams down your way are open for now.
The ones up here are all closed so no bargains.
