  • Not missing the cold at all! I’m so fair skinned that I never get a tan but even in factor 50 I love lazing in the sunshine anyway :)

  • Good morning 😊 Checking in to report a £4 PAD sent to the credit card. I’m still keeping an eye on my budget over here but it’s much harder without my trusty spreadsheet. 

    Also, I bought some skincare on the plane and it’s not showing as a transaction in my bank yet which is frustrating as I have to keep reminding myself there’s more to come out of the account. 

    Will keep an eye out for that. I’m certain I didn’t get it for free hahaha

  • Just a habitual check in, £1 sent to CC7 this morning as my PAD :)

    We are sorting out the joint account on Monday so that’s a positive. Will be nice to get things sorted and not have to move money as much. Oh and have equal contributions :D

  • Good morning! The weather here is quite stormy so hubby is off out on a bike ride and I will be staying in the hotel trying to find a sheltered spot from the wind with my book.

    Todays PAD is £25 to CC7, this should be the difference between what I’ll pay before the due date and the minimum payment. Surveys are scarce this month so I don’t want to rely on those.

    Maybe next month I will try putting my big payment into a Monzo pot to keep it out of the way and then pay it after the statement.

    Hope you’re all ok

    Morning! Another stormy day here, hoping the wind settles down for flying home tomorrow 😳

    Last night we had dinner and came back to the room to watch a film. We have a suite (they are all suites in this hotel) so it has a separate living room. It saved us about £50 on drinks between us.

    I have sent £12 to CC7 to round down my bank and take me below the £4.6k mark. Clearly feeling a little flush from last nights saving.
    Hope you’re all well
