Dreaming of being Debt Free

So managed to get the back pay. Was round £700 extra (after tax). The way they calculated it then added it was so strange tho. Almost deliberately confusing? I'm not sure. Like they added stuff then removed it. Anyway it was an unexpected surprise. So I've moved £500 of it to savings. Or it will just get spend on rubbish, and to refill the pots I spent extra on while away. Might put more in.
So from the first of August. Our holidays will be paid when we are off. Hopefully that's a good thing.
I've also filled the car fund this month,.and re-started the caravan fun. £35 a month for next 11 months (will put double in this month to get it going). And put a spends one for the other holiday we have, it's all inclusive so shouldn't need too much.
