Quick check in from me to report another £521.59 has been added into the OP savings accounts thanks to wages from BK (£503.24) and a website order (£18.35)

My total now currently stands at £65315.47/£81700 = 79.94% 

I'm really close to hitting 80% now - just need to find a way to make £44.53 quickly

nearly 80% . amazing. Fantastic.

I think your both doing amazing. Just had final UC credit. DH no longer on SSP. Made a tiny payment to c card to get me to 17% paid!

You will soon be at 20% 

Thankyou. Might be slow progress for a bit as I paid the outstanding balance of eldest school ipad this week. Will need to recover from paying that. I had that listed as a joint debt so it won't affect my figures. I'm trying to get rid of the debts so as to reduce the monthly outgoings by the best amount to give the budget more flexibility. My fixed term at work ends at the end of the month and there is no news yet as to if it will be renewed. I need to bear in mind I may be on the dole or if not hopefully finding a new job. If I stay in work I'll pay the u credit debt off next (from the advance we got)-owing DWP is more a priority isn't it..never rains but it pours eh. 

Fingers crossed your contract renews lovely x

Thanks I've applied for three jobs today just in case. Managers are keen to keep me but money makes the world go round doesn't it and there is a lot of heat on financial stuff at work at the moment. I'm gonna hold out as long as I can before I apply for everything going cos I can't stand applying lots of places knowing if they keep me on I'll be that person who pulls out of an interview or job offer. Feel like over the years doing that will leave me with no where left to apply. Am probably overthinking it but nevermind. And it's a PITA applying for jobs 😂

My fingers are crossed for you that you can stay where you are x

It's payday at the cafe (actually it was yesterday but I was so tired after my BK shift yesterday that I fell asleep so only now transferring it)

I've added a further £321.92 into the savings account which takes me over the 80% mark

My total now currently stands at £65637.39/£81700 = 80.33% 

I think this next 20% is going to be a bit of a hard slog but I'm determined we will get there before my birthday in September if possible

Any news on the job front ?

Manager rang me up to say it's not looking promising. I've got an interview next Thursday but the jobs only 15 hrs. Better than nothing- if I get it ? Would then have to do some agency work or something to make the funds up. Starting to apply for other stuff as well now. One day at a time isn't it. No point worrying. Ha ha

Keeping everything crossed for you, good luck with the interview. Agency work is great, good pay too.
