Morning!
Didn’t do another big shop in the end
Today I’ve got to work out a plan to pay my credit card off before the 20th. I’ve managed to get it down from £1,000 to £150. Just have to find that final amount now.
Still need to sort the next ziffit box out to send off.
Managed to get a couple of magic bags from Greggs (cost £6) which were full of enough sandwiches and snacks to last us a day or two.
So last month a total of £600 went into savings accounts and £500 goes into SAYE
Can’t believe we’re still managing to put so much per month into savings. Very proud of how well we’re doing!
Savings target is £60,000, so far we have £8,700 saved (this doesn’t include any SAYE accounts)Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55
