Morning! Medical expenses landed today so €60 transferred to the loan. Optician voucher arrived too but not sure how much they'll pay back and also need for it to land in my account before I can transfer to the loan. I am going to very close to €55,000 or just under before payday:jTotal (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

Just got back from the opticians. The voucher covers the full cost of the 2 pairs of DD's glasses so €140 was put on my card. Will pay that off my loan when it lands in my account. So just need to find another €41 to get under €55,000 before H's payday!Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

Afternoon! Went for breakfast this morning with friends and the service was so abysmal they told us it was on the house so another €10 sent off to loan account. I can really see the little bits of money starting to make inroads. Still waiting for the glasses money to wing its way to my account and can another pay €140 off taking me ever closer to under €55,000.
Finally got H to sit down and do out his expenses. He has a couple of receipts in work but it's looking like expenses will come to €500. Not sure when these are paid but think they are quite slow. Will be a great amount of the loan when it does get paid.Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

Bonus that the breakfast was covered not about the poor service, and well done for sending that to the loan instead. Great that dh has done his expenses I hope they don't take too long to pay, my expenses are so random we have to send it in by 3rd of the each month but when then actually get authorised and paid is anybodies guess!

Woo hoo I'm under 55k! The glasses voucher money came through and also I got my gas bill and it was -€15 and I had budgeted €100 towards it. It really is quite amazing how all the little bits and pieces add up! Can't see there be any more money towards payday but we'll see!
