Friday round up!Its been a long time but here goes:EF £3665.37Xmas £230Doggo £90Car £310Health pot £052 week envelope challege £56 ~ pausedCC ~ 2800.00 /was £2853.30so £53.30 so far!I think maybe i should take some out of my EF and tackle the CC that way. But I know I will not replace it. I havent added anything to the EF this year. Or to my pension pot or very much to the tax pot. And I really want to have a little back up. Will have a ponder♥️ ♥️ ♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸Decluttering 2025 So far 403 / 2025

ooh,i just checked my account where the £56 was being kept for the envelope challenge and thought i would pop that across. Turned out it was 25 not 56, but there was 50 in a space and 50 in the main part. SOOO I have transfered this (£125) to my main account and rounded it up to £130 and paid it off the credit card. That was a nice easy win!CC now £2660.00/ £2853.30I doubt there will be any further easy wins, but that one was good!Ill keep an eye out on PA, I still have a little pending, need to boost that up to a tenner!♥️ ♥️ ♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸Decluttering 2025 So far 403 / 2025

I usually go on clear score to see what available CC at 0% are around for me. I think I'd try to move all cc to a zero percent but if not able then I would use the EF 🙈 as otherwise the interest will prolong the pain of paying off the cc (been there done it too many times).
Glad DD has changed her mind on college though 😀MORTGAGE BALANCE when we moved Aug 2024, £120,000. January 1st £118,267.06. May 1st, £116, 123, June 1st, £115,536, New mortgage added for extension- £165,000 July 1st!Mortgage Overpayments - September-December, £152.46. Jan £103.27, Feb £115, March £91.50, April £100, May £200, June £200. July £200.
Total- £1162.23
Goal to pay off 1% of current mortgage in one year. £1200. (96.83% there)

I have finished wedding the fruit beds
Hurrah!!
The veg beds in the foreground are not far off being ready.
I bought some onion sets this morning so I will get them in tomorrow if its dry.
Also bought a lovely big pot for a magnolia plant that had been patiently waiting. And some plugs which I have potted on for the hanging baskets and a couple of pots

Friday round up time AGAIN! Cor this week has gone quick!!Its been a long time but here goes:EF £3665.37Xmas £230Doggo £90Car £310Health pot £052 week envelope challege £0 ~ pausedCC ~ 2610.69 /was £2853.30so £242.31 paid off so far. The mininum payment has gone been taken today, so its an odd number will change that in a moment.
None of the pots have changed because I had only 2 patients this week. ho hum, it has givne me some time to get clearer of my new venture which is exciting. I have also had to spend alot of time with DD who has been really struggling with anxiety and life in general. It is exhausting!🧡🧡🧡Gratefuls🧡🧡🧡😎The sun is shining💗My car is wonderful and drives me everywhere i need to go, I love having the independance to go as I please🥰Time to medidtate, it was only 20 minutes today, well so far. But I am pleased when I make the time to do it because it does make a difference

Ou garden is big and this is the wild bit, but its got far too wild and brambely. 2 garden bins filled up.Been to SM to get flowers for mum and a roast chicken dinner bit all bought, and bits for tea. I am making a fritata and having it wth salad and rice yum!I have been cogitating on a new business / side hustle I am hoping to combine 2 of my favourite things, art and energy healing. Its definetly a case of watch this space, its going to take a long time to work it all out, but I have worked out a name and the web domain is available, I am very happy about that. next steps are research based and testing♥️ ♥️ ♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸Decluttering 2025 So far 403 / 2025
