Might be that actually thanks jwill. I bought kiddy kindles when schools closed in first lockdown so about 12 months ago. I must have had it free for 12 months. Do they work without it? I cancelled it not knowing what it was.. guess I'll find out one day if they stop working. I can always rejoin ha haJan 18 Joint debts 35,213

Havent posted in ages. I'm so bad at updating a diary. I got the 500 bonus thing from tax credits and then prepared myself for tax credits to drastically drop.they keep putting more money in my account though which is a long term recipe for disaster as I have no idea why. Ah well. Debt is slightly higher but almost all childcare and school dinners paid till end of current school year. May still owe 100 or so depending on how good my maths are but it's a relief knowing its sorted.Jan 18 Joint debts 35,213

Current debts are mortgage 67500 (did a little overpayment this week to get a round number.
C card 650 0% for another 7 months
Dmp debts 2685, 4702 and 7208.
Will leave the c card and just send pay a day and minimums for now I think. Childcare money for next 2 months can start the fund for kitchen.Jan 18 Joint debts 35,213

Had a couple of whoopsie's at home. Sink fell of bathroom wall but a v kind plumber appears to have fixed it for an affordable price. And our curtains that took us so long to get up fell down last night. Tbh I expected it to fall sooner as the bay is not that good for holding a rail up..still a bit gutted as it looked better than a bed sheet nailed to window which is what we are back too.
Ah well.
Emergency funding intact and curtains are essential till winter I suppose..
A few pence paid of the debts and tax credits award has come and seems to be right so otherwise all goodJan 18 Joint debts 35,213

That's a shame about the curtains and the sink but good that the EF is still intact!

E fund still intact. No major change to debts or anything else, spending erratic but prob okay, just firefighting really as now all the kids are isolating again. its getting harder each time to get time of work so they can be looked after.and denting the budget as a result.local.schools are all having real problems with attendance, isolating kids and popped bubbles. Joy's of living in the northwest I guess.
Hope everyone else is well and managing to get out and about a bit.Jan 18 Joint debts 35,213

Glad the sink is ok. It's a bit of a nightmare with all the isolation isn't it."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0
