    I've just had another read of the email about the £100 & I don't think it is clear.  But reading it from that point of view it does sound like you are both going to get it.  I hope you do!  I had assumed you would only get one, but we all know what assume does don't we.

    I assumed we would only get one payment too… anything is a bonus though, I’ll keep you updated :)

  • Morning all and happy Thursday, I woke super-early this morning so I have already been working for almost an hour, I will be able to finish early and go to the gym before the busy period.  Just having a coffee and thought I would check in.

    Today will be another NSD and I have £40 left in my account, which I will send to the EF tomorrow. Tomorrow is pay day so it will be nice to have my first pay where no credit cards are being paid. This month's focus is the 2 (!) holidays... not sure why I do it to myself. 

    Anyway, my PAD this morning was £3 to the EF, the PADding thread is looking sparse at the moment. That's about it from me.  Hope you all have great days ahead

    Oh exciting times booking flights. Where are you off to? I may have missed it in earlier posts? I've booked Lisbon in Oct... I'm aiming to be debt free by then!

    I’m going to Tenerife with my sister in August. I’m very much looking forward to it x
    I’ve never been to Portugal, it’s on the list though

    Portugal is lovely, we went a few years ago and loved it, don’t know why we’ve never been back. Are you still going on the safari holiday?

    Hurrah for pay day! I've been up early to book my flights this morning for the holiday with my sister. £450... and now I need to sort airport parking, sis is doing the car hire.  It costs so much more to go in the holidays, I feel sorry for parents and teachers who have no choice.

    I've also sent £500 to the November holiday pot, the £40 left over from last month to the EF and my penny challenge money of £49.95 for June to the sealed pot. 

    Seeing as I have spent on flights at the crack of dawn, you'll see it's not a NSD for me. :D  hopefully I will get a few in next week as we have plans over the weekend with friends. 

    I had a reminder come up on my phone this morning as 'potential early debt free day' :o  It made me beam with pride that I am already debt free and that was a lovely feeling. 

    Another sunny day forecast here, hope you're all OK

    Talk about well ahead of the game LMD. Seems like you hit your debt free day ages ago

  • It’s only been 30 days @Antomac but I do have a waffling tendency 😂

    Today’s PAD is £23 to the sealed envelope challenge and £4 to the EF.  Nothing available on Prolific to cash out or anywhere else….

    It’s not a NSD for me as we have been to the local pub this afternoon with the dog for a few pints in the sunshine. It was glorious and I’m feeling all relaxed and a bit wobbly.

    That’s it in terms of updates for me, hope you’re all enjoying the few days of British summer 🤣
