Sounds like a solid plan to me, I'm using my newly available funds for having more 'fun money' and saving... My savings are for holidays at the moment but then we will be saving for the future

Not sure what to do with myself today, currently washing sheets and cleaning - I think I may have a good old cleaning day.I need to get some new work shoes, but I’m not really feeling very inspired to shop. In fact, I’m not really feeling inspired for much today - I may have overdone it with running and training lately, I feel tired. So I have decided today is going to be a rest day, from all of it. A few chores and then just some quiet time.15 days until loan gone!!Debt busting 2022 Total £15842.68 £0 (100% paid since 1/1/22)

I have had a few days away from my diary - had visitors over from France and I have been back to work so not great on health front, but kept plodding away at prolific surveys, so all good. Last payment for loan will be about £465 on Friday
That is only 3 days away!! Having a last push on things today - I don't think I'll be able to knock any more off before then if I am realistic, but it is only 3 days away. Sat trying to catch up on lots of paperwork that I should have done, but had a few weeks where I have not done much work, I needed a break I think.
Running is going great - I have been sticking to my plan for about 6 weeks (bit of a wobble last week) and although no weight has gone, my clothes feel looser. Menu planning now we are back at work, so healthyish eating will be occuring again.
Just need to decide what to do with this diary once done.... do I open a savings one, or mortgage free one (I aim to try and do both a bit) not go all in crazy to pay it off, I want to enjoy myself a bit!Debt busting 2022 Total £15842.68 £0 (100% paid since 1/1/22)- DFD: September 1st 2023[/b]

In terms of diary, I closed my debt one (as it seemed fitting) and started one on the savings boards
