    It should be a no spends day today.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was cereals, we are sharing a pizza for lunch today and dinner tonight is peri peri chicken with roasted vegetables and rice.

    Today's jobs include:
    • working from home
    • load of washing
    • walking the dog
    The other half has a couple more jobs to do in the loo today. He has some tidying up of the paint to do, a bit if sealing and the mirror to fit. Not all of the parts for the light fitting have arrived yet which is annoying. Hopefully they will come at some point this week and the shelf delivery date isn't while next Monday but again we are hoping that will arrive this week as well.

    Happy Wednesday everyone. Half way through the working week.

    £196 paid to Card 2 today and that see's that balance cleared. I will close that card down in the next few days as well. Next month I will change the payment to card 3 to £400.

    Other than the above it will be a no spends day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was toast, lunch will be soup and crusty bread and dinner tonight is jerk pork chops with rice and vegetables.

    Today's jobs include:
    • working from home
    • vacuuming the house
    • cleaning the kitchen
    • walking the dog
    The other half has some touching up to do in the loo today. It seems to be a never ending job!

    Card 3 will be gone by September at the latest.

    Going to get a £250 over payment paid on the furniture loan at the end of this month and then probably pay that off at the beginning of next month and then will throw everything spare at Card 3 to get that paid of ASAP.
