Time to start a fresh.

You've made me realise just how lucky I am.  One of my neighbours regularly puts away my bin after they have been.  It isn't the same neighbour every time either.

Sounds like you have much better neighbours than me! I have neighbours to my right who doesn't even acknowledge me ever, the ones to my left her daughter who's in her 30s constantly moans about me when she's drunk but doesn't know I hear her most of the time. The ones who complained about us washing the cars once reversed into my OH van and didn't say anything, luckily we seen it on the cameras

Hi Jade,

Busy little bee aren’t you.

I have perfected the art of living out of the freezer now! Variety is the spice of life apparently so I try to have a different themed dinner each night. Now I am not a great cook (my oven goes on at 200’c and i guess the time that’s it I don’t change the dials Lol), nor do I particularly enjoy cooking but I do like to mix things up a bit. My slow cooker is definitely the best £15 a have spent on an appliance!

I feel rather lucky not currently having any neighbours.

on a side note, I appear to have developed an obsession with checking my credit reports 😳

Hey @MrFrugalFever

Haha, busy as always!

Oh that's good, funnily enough we've started using most of the stuff in the freezer. We've used up most of our spices now also. Haha, that made me laugh

I enjoy baking, I do enjoy cooking aswell. Myself and OH take it in turns to cook each night. My OH dad gave me a multi cooker last year and it's the best thing I've ever gotten.

I do enjoy checking my credit report

Omg its pretty crappy when you have rubbish neighbours, luckily most of ours are fine but we do have one the is crazy! She is always round when she is drunk moaning about something. She was complaining our cat was in her garden….told her simple solution was for her to stop feeding it!! 🤣 Honestly some people. 

We tend to be going through our freezer stuff now too, I like having fresh at times but freezer food is just so convenient at times lol.

Well done on yet another Zoom

Afternoon/evening all

I went to sainsburys on the way home to buy some items to post ebay sold goodies. Thinking of adding more to ebay later this evening, not really done much besides work. I applied for another online community so hopefully I get that

Oh, I also plan on seeing what freebies I can get from different websites later

So, as everything currently stands;
 
ALL CC's and Loans are on Payment Plans and all up to date.

By the end of September I'm wanting Fluid and Barclaycard paid in full and closed. I've had no temptation/intention of attempting to take another loan or CC out, even though I get constant email offers. I haven't used any buy now pay later services (Klarna, Clearpay or Laybuy) I've earnt a pretty decent amount of money from surveys and zooms etc this year. I've got an emergency fund set up in another new bank account so any savings now go into there. I need to get my car fixed over the next few months which I'm not sure how much it will cost yet. Also got my 14 hours extra over time.

BUT, I do feel pretty much in control and happier with how my finances are.

Thanks to all who read, comment and support me along my journey
