    Midweek already. This week really is flying by. Not that I'm complaining about it.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was cereals, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is peri peri chicken with Spanish style grains and greens.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • weigh in Wednesday
    • cleaning the kitchen
    It's the last weigh in Wednesday for this year. Not expecting great things to be honest with the amount of chocolate and cake we have been indulging in. But it is Christmas and we have been good all year and we will both end the year around 2 stone lighter than we started it. So we will pick up where we left off in January :)

    Very well done to both of you. Enjoy your Christmas and get back on it in the New Year.

    I'm the same @RelievedSheff in planning to weigh on Friday morning as usual and then get back on it a few days after Christmas but only until our holiday in early January which being All Inclusive means I'll probably put loads back on and then it will be back on it until the next holiday!

    Tonight's jobs are:

    Last day at work and I think it will be a bit of a slog. Not got much to do to pass the time of day today!

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is southern fried chicken, jacket potato and coleslaw.

    Got a load of washing to sort out when we get home but other than that no jobs other than walking the dog. I'm going to enjoy a few beers tonight on the sofa watching a film. Going to thoroughly enjoy a bit of a lie in in the morning as well.
  • Forgot it is van payment day today, so £393 sent to the van loan this morning.

    Had a nice surprise at work as well, we have all been awarded a 2.6% cost of living rise from January 1st.

    Balances Update 20.12.24

     

    Furniture Loan = £0 (Account Settled)

    HP Car Loan = £0 (Account Settled)

    Debt 1 = £0 (Account Settled)

    Paypal Credit = £0

    Credit Card 1 =£0 (Account Closed)

    Credit Card 2 = £0 (Account Closed)

    Credit Card 3 = £0 (Account Closed)

    Credit Card 4 = £0 (Account Closed)

    Credit Card 5 = £0 (Account Closed)

    Credit Card 6 = £0 (Account Closed)

     

    Credit Card 7 = £4100 (£380 repayment 0% interest until November 2025)

    HP Motorhome Loan = £6296 (£393 repayment final payment May 2026)

     

    Total Debt = £10396

    That’s a nice Christmas surprise for you all. We got our pay rise backdated to June in last month’s pay which was very welcome at this time of year. Have you had your hamper from them this year? 

    Totals looking brilliant.
