Isle of Wight train travel down and back now booked ✔️ - got the return for under £15 for both of us from Portsmouth back to London so fairly delighted with that one! (The way down was £21.10). Cheaper than we could drive it and far less hassle anyway.
The CC is doing some hard work this month - BUT it's the new rewards one so there will at least be a small amount of cashback. I've just cleared off the week's food spends - £33.48 which I'm OK with. MrEH's car bill is sitting there looking ugly - I need to do some money shuffling to take account of that, but that needs a bit of time and a notebook so I can work out where I can shuffle from without hitting the EF harder than I need to at this stage.
Once the food payment to the CC is through I will go over things there and see if there is anything else that needs paying to just leave the car repair there, then it will be easier to see where we stand.
The Welsh building society have just notified me of the first of my 2 6 month reg savers maturing next month so that will help with the 'spensiveness. The other one of those accounts should only be a handful of days behind it too. I need to sort out the maturity instructions but will probably wait until they've told me about both so I can do them together.
