Pay off mortgage and start having even more fun 😁

I do hope it’s not so hot today, I really need to clean the house and it’s not fun in the heat. Went to see a mystery horror film last night with ds2 and DIL, a very gory silly film which was fun, might well go and see cape fear tonight too. We only just made it into the cinema in time as there were massive queues yesterday evening, I’ve never seen so many people there and at £18 odd a ticket it’s surprising! Was at Leeds castle on Monday with best friend , her youngest and his friend which was lovely 🙂 I’ve been before but I miss taking kids for days out I used to love it so much.

Today I’m visiting friend who is recovering for a big operation that she has been waiting years for, about three years in fact which is terrible. So a little spending has been done this week on ice creams for us all at the castle and some flowers and treats for friend today. I’ve also hammered my personal spending pot buying bits I’m running out of on offer like facial cleanser/moisturiser, root touch up, leave in hair stuff etc. I’m trying to get better offers online and bigger packs if I can so it’s cheaper and get those costs out of the way for a few months with some of it. I think I’d really like to try a reduced budget for the last part of the year like I used to do from October to December. If memory serves me right it used to be live off £1000 for the last three months? Seems impossible now and that’s with just two instead of five 😳

I’ve cashed in the premium bonds ready to pay off a chunk of the outstanding 0% cc, but realised that some of the rest of the money is in regular saver that ends in September, so I will leave that in there I think, so it won’t be paid off this month. I’ll make the last payment from wages from September now instead of Augusts money flipping those months around. So I can easily transfer the holiday spending money in cash rather than using a cc and paying it off in sept if that makes sense.

I hate it when there are good multi-buy offers on toiletries you're replenishing - you feel obliged to partake 🙄 I can't remember the last time I bought a single anything of make-up 🤔
