Aw bless him, he looks so snug. My dog is constantly sniffing the air right now as the chicken is cooking.

Happy Monday everyone.

£251 paid of the HP loan today. Other than that it will be a no spends day.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was cereals, the other half has taken his packed lunch to work, I think I might have some soup for my lunch today and dinner tonight is chicken enchiladas made with some left overs from last night's roast dinner.

Todays jobs include:

• working from home
• vacuuming the house
• dusting the house
• load of washing
• walking the dog x 2

The other half is working this week but his boss has said that if work doesn't pick up this week then he will probably be put on furlough next week which is fine by us. It will give him a chance to get a few bits done in the house and the garden.

Glad you’re using the furlough situation to your advantage and not getting down about it. 

So close with card 2 now too. 👍

No point getting down about it. We know his job will still be there when the situation improves again. People always need their cars repairing. 

Card 2 will be paid off in a few weeks time. I'm getting impatient with it now, but am going to wait until the next payment date to clear the account and close the account down. Can throw the extra money at Card 3 then and get that balance reduced more quickly.

He already has quite a long list to be getting on with
