Good morning! The sun has made an appearance nice and early here and I have been up about an hour already. Busy day ahead for me as I am out for lunch and then again for dinner this evening. So, today will not be a NSD.
PADs made, £5 to CC7 and £7.81 to the sealed pot. Still a little left in the accounts for the few days up to pay day to make more PAD payments.
Off to log on for work early, it's a busy day

Good morning, looks like it's going to be bright and breezy today so I am aiming for a good few loads of washing between meetings!
2 days to pay day (these will be miraculously long I'm certain). PADs made to sealed pot and to CC7 this morning, accounts are looking very thin on the ground now. Today will be NSD #16 for May and I have already declared this as I'm going nowhere and have pretty much nothing to spend, we don't need anything anyway.
Email from MSE credit club to say my score has been updated. It's now 998 out of 999so very close!
I have been saying I will sell some of my old bags on Vinted for a while now, and then I've never actually gotten round to it. This weekend I WILL do it. Hubby is working nights so I can spend some time getting decent pictures and hopefully someone will make use of them rather than them being sat in dust bags on the shelf in my wardrobe. Any money I make I will keep to one side to use for any Vinted purchases... so a trade-in if you will.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday

Forgot to add... the £150 energy rebate landed in hubby's account yesterday so I paid it straight to Eon. Takes away temptation!

Morning! I am finally at pay day eve and I have made a larger PAD this morning. £20 to CC7 and rounded each bank balance to £10 and the odd bits were sent to the sealed pot.
Today will be another NSD. I am not going anywhere, working from home and have very little left in the accounts. Eon have updated my online account and it's nice to be in so much credit. Not that it will last for long I am sure!
I already have washing on the line again. Although we all know that a good spell of sunny line drying leads to... Ironing mountain!That will be a job for the weekend.
Work beckons, I hope you all have a lovely sunny day!

Your balance is really coming down now. Those payments really do add up.1

Thanks
Yes they really do! It will be a big payment to car account tomorrow and the £200 extra off of CC7 so it'll go down a fair bit in the morning. I'm also due to hit my debt free by xmas target soon!

I have finally done it.... I have started listing items on Vinted in my lunch break. Fingers crossed someone will want to buy my stuff. In all honesty I really look after my designer bags so they're all in lovely condition. At least I have made a start, and it was actually very easy with the app so I should be able to get some more listed tonight.
Think there are some Next trousers in my wardrobe still with the tags on too... pre Covid office wear purchase that ended up not being needed
Watch this space, it will be like that advert where the man is selling and his wife comes home to an empty house hahaha
At least I have had a productive lunch time

Well done.
We need to have a look around and see what we can sell again.
I enjoyed it last time.1
