  • Another busy day in the world of Determined… I have started pulling things together to pack and I have a plan of what I need to do each day before I go. I’m not exchanging any currency before I go, I will just use the ATM at the resort.

    I made my £1 PAD to CC7 this morning, today is not a NSD as I have ordered some replacement shoes online. At least they are a replacement and not an addition :D

    Hope everyone is coping with the heat, it’s supposed to be breaking tomorrow so it won’t be as hot. Here’s hoping!

    Do you find it cheaper to draw out cash in the resort? I usually take enough euros to last for however long I’m there. Anything left over gets rolled over to the next holiday. I’m on a countdown a week tomorrow off to Zante 🏝

    I can draw out cash commission free abroad with my accounts so that's what I do, I find it's less hassle and to be honest I don't like carrying a lot of cash about. We fly on Saturday but I will be spending 2 nights at my dad's before we go.

  • Normal service has resumed and I am back on schedule :)  I do feel out of sorts when my routine is messed with :D 

    Today will be a NSD for me. I am not venturing out and I have all I need now for my holiday. PAD this morning has been made to various places and it included my £1 to CC7 as well as £18 to the sealed pot and the rest to few remaining DD's. 

    I have already done another small study on Prolific this morning, I can't cash anything out at the moment but I have about £10 pending still so hoping to get that off to CC7 in the next few days.  

    Work will be insanely busy this week as I prepare to be off on leave, it's always the case and will probably be even worse when I come back. I always try and keep my first morning back free to plough through the emails! 

    That's all from me... Oh and if anyone had noticed that the finance updates have stopped on here, do not fear! I am keeping a journal of my progress on good old fashioned paper :)  Will be a reminder of what NOT to do once the debt has gone!

    I hate the last week at work before a holiday. It is always manic. And the first few days back trying to catch up.

    Enjoy your holiday.

    Hey LMD!! Just been catching up on your diary....You're continuing to do so great....and I hope you have a great time on holiday!!!
  • Thanks all. 

    I’m up early again today, feels like there’s a lot going around in my head. We didn’t end up getting the rain we were promised so it’s still very muggy here.

    £1 PAD sent to CC7 this morning, today probably won’t be a NSD as we are likely to be going out with some friends this evening. It will be something to look forward to after work.

    That’s all from me this morning. Nothing available from prolific yet… a watched pot (of money) never boils haha!

    Morning 😊 I'm the same as you, on the rundown to my holiday and my head is buzzing with what I've still got to do. Enjoy your evening out.
