MeandO's money-shuffling

MeandO

I've just requested a payout of £36.75 from TCB and £2.20 is on the way to my account from shopmium. I'll round it up to £40 and send it to the CC when it reaches the bank.

TCB (£36.75), shopmium (£2.20) and CTC (£67.79) payments received today, and with a bit of rejigging of pots on YNAB I've managed to send £100 to the credit card which I'm really pleased with. There's around £220 left to clear that now which I'll do on payday. 

The washing is out on the line to dry, I have food sorted for us both today (DS is at home due to a teacher strike) and I WILL get the uniform embroidery done today. 

I worked some more overtime last night so am building that extra bit of money up for October.  

Mrs_Money_Penny

Your doing so well. I went to the dentist and may need a crown £750 that’s with discount.Praying it can be repaired. I feel for you with the car xx

MeandO

Thanks you Mrs_Money_Penny. £750?! OUCH in more ways than one! I don't understand why these things cost so much money.

£16.89 made on a free spin win today and already in the bank account so have just sent it to the credit card.

I finally got the school logo added to the two new pairs of shorts for DS, and better still, it was free! I asked the cost and the lady told me the school pay for it. They didn’t last time, but I wasn’t going to quibble, so that was an added bonus today.  
No money spent today, I’ll need to spend £5 on a sports club for DS tomorrow, other than that hopefully no other spends needed.

£6.11 won on a free spin today, so have sent that to the credit card as well.
£5 made on a fb sale and another little item cleared, but they paid me all in 20p’s so I have a lot of change! 

I also found a £5 note in my wallet that I didn’t realise I had.

I had to take some time off work today as I felt so ill sitting at my screen. I had to lie down for a second and woke up three hours later! An early night for me tonight I think.

£12.29 up on a third promotional.spin deal. Must be my lucky week! It's been sent to the CC to get the balance down a little lower.

Monday morning started with a screw through my tyre and has pretty much set the tone for the rest of the week. The tyre could be plugged rather than needing full replacement but was still £31.
The previous evening, myself, OH and a couple of friends met up for a catch up and unfortunately were subjected to an incident whilst out which left everyone quite shocked and angry and left me feeling quite traumatised and upset. I can't go into detail as we have made formal complaints to the venue and large company that owns it, but I won't be in a hurry to go out again anytime soon. So as you can see, my week didn't start well...

Work has just been awful this week too. There have been two of us doing the job of previously 6 people for some time now and it's all getting too much. There is no support and no help from anyone and the stress has seeped into other areas of my life this week and affected my mood out of work.
DS has been demonstrating typical pre-teen 'trickiness' as well which has been draining. In DS's eyes this week his Dad is 'God' and he has put him up on a pedestal despite his father not making any time for his son, choosing his own social activities over seeing his boy yet again (happens every week), and not speaking particularly kindly to him and his father blaming DS for his own failings. Meanwhile, I have almost broken myself this week in dealing with doctors (DS's condition is flaring up), school, after school activities, sports kits, ferrying DS and his friends around and generally making sure DS has everything he needs and some things he wants. I've also been working evenings when I can, looking for a new car, dealing with incessant used car dealers who won't stop ringing and don't know the meaning of the word 'NO' and sorting financials for that. Being shunned by DS this morning left me in tears. I'm worn out. Anyway, no choice but to dust myself off as there's no-one else to help me, so onwards it is...

In better news, I heard back from the aviation regulation people who agreed I was due the standard compensation from Fleasyjet's major b&lls up at the beginning of the year. £440 should be coming my way within 28 days but reports online suggest the notsoeasyplane company often ignore this and court action then has to be taken. I'm hoping I won't have to go down that route, I could really do without the hassle, but if I have to, I will.

It's payday, so the usual shuffling of money has been done today. Much less than usual has gone to the EF as I have expenses to cover for a new (to me) car which I'm picking up this week, the EF has also gone down with funds put towards the car. They are taking my old one as part ex and have offered a fair amount for it so I'm pleased I don't have to sell it to the buyinganycar group who tried to knock the online price down ridiculously as soon as I took it in for a valuation.

Another item has gone via fb marketplace today and I accidentally got the price wrong and gave him £3 change when I didn't need to. Funny, he didn't say anything... honest me would have, but never mind, it's another space cleared and a bit more money made. I also sold an item on vinted for £4 last week so that's on the way to my bank account, will see if I have anything else to list on there to make a few extra £'s too.
