    Excellent!! 🎉🤩👏
    Simultaneously, excited by and jealous of your holiday 😊

    I am starting to get a bit nervous really. Mainly because it's a new place and I don't know what to expect. Once I am there I will relax I'm sure.

  • Happy Tuesday (my Thursday haha) I hope everyone is happy and well?

    I tackled 'ironing mountain' last night whilst I watched the football (the less said about that, the better :( ) and can pack the final bits in the suitcase at lunchtime, then I should be all ready to go.  I am out tonight after work until late so I'm a bit tight on time. As I am out it won't be a NSD today. 

    Finance wise, PAD included £5 to the sabbatical this morning, I was very pleased at the Prolific cash out yesterday and I still have £6 pending so I will try and keep an eye on that today.

    That's it from me
    Take care all

  • Hello everyone, I have decided I won't be updating whilst I am on holiday and I have even declared I will take a break from PADding (due to cards cleared and EF in place) so this will be my last update until 20th when I come back.

    Today is a NSD, no plans tonight except to fuel the car, finalise travel docs and catch up on Bake off which I missed due to being out last night.  My PAD included £5 to the Sabbatical fund, which is now at £70, I will try and remember to update my signature at some point before I go! 

    Hope you're all doing well and keeping safe and warm in this horrible weather

    Have a lovely holiday! 
    Debt busting 2022 Total £15842.68 £0 (100% paid since 1/1/22)
  • Thanks all for the holiday wishes, we have had the most wonderful time and are quite sad to be back. 

    I have yet to sort out final spends etc but I think we came in just under-budget which makes for a happy LMD. I am absolutely shattered, having got home at about 1am and me (foolishly) not having today booked off as annual leave. 

    I'm off again at the end of the week for the girls shopping trip so no sooner will I have unpacked, I will need to pack again... 

    Today is not a NSD as I am meeting my sister this evening for a catch up, I have sent £5 in my PAD to the Sabbatical fund though.  There's so much to catch up on with diaries and stuff, I will try to do so at lunch time. 

    Hope you're all doing OK?
