Tackling This Debt One At A Time

  • Morning! Had a busy week with observations and assessments for my little one's at work.  Last weekend was quite productive. Reviewed our mobile phones contracts because Mr BB was told we were out of contract despite having an outstanding balance on our handsets.  Transpired that if we cleared the handsets we could transfer to sim-only deals.  So paid £285 to clear off handsets which I hadn't realised was on Mr BB's credit file so reduced our monthly payments from £88 per month to £34.50. This debt was settled (reluctantly) from our emergency fund but it will be put back in the savings eventually over the coming months

    Today is laundry day! Not the ideal weather for it. Was really hoping the warmer weather would be making an appearance already - I know we were on lockdown this time last year but the weather was glorious! 

    So far my hay-fever medication is working. I suffer with it badly and has been progressively been getting worse over the last few years.  This year I've been taking my medication since the beginning of March and so far so good.  But I do feel like a walking medicine cabinet tho. Will need to renew my 3 month prescription at the end of this month.  Hopefully, after that I won't need to get anymore as my symptoms miraculously disappear by mid August.  

    Right, better get on ploughing through my mountain of laundry! Stay dry everyone.

    Morning. Good news about the phones ⭐️ Definitely worth using the EF to save money.
    It’s sunny here (for now).
    The hay fever must be awful to put up with, I’m glad the medication is working for you.
