Thanks both - it's a great feeling to be debt free again and I'm determined that this will be the last time!
Beanie - I managed to get back to sleep around 3 and then slept until 8 so overall about 7 hours sleep which is actually better than usual.
Up and out fairly early with OH - picked up a prescription, walk round the local park and then to Lidle (£22.02 spent). Walk round the park was lovely and lots more spring flowers out than last time.
Did a few PA surveys this morning so just waiting for the money to become available to cash out and will send it to the emergency fund.
Debt Dec 2022 - £2972.68. Current debt - £0 (100% paid). Flat deposit - £14892.42/£15000 (99.3% saved). Emergency fund - £2000/£2500 (80% saved).2 -

Thursday was a NSD. Yesterday I spent £8.35 on food shopping (fruit, yoghurt and wraps) plus we went a walk and treated ourselves to coffee and cake in a cafe while out (£9 spent). On a double shift today at work so shouldn't spend anything (hopefully!).
£10.76 cashed out from PA and sent to the emergency fund, currently sitting at £1292.77. Once it reaches £1300, I'll move £100 over to the new account I set up which has limited withdrawals and a slightly better savings rate.Debt Dec 2022 - £2972.68. Current debt - £0 (100% paid).

Thanks Boodedoo and Lonelygambler
Haven't posted for a while as was very busy at work and then away for a long weekend with friends. My weekend was absolutely lovely, spent more than anticipated but all covered by the holiday fund.
Had today off as well so had a productive day - as well as going for a walk with OH and doing a wee shop, I looked at all my outgoings and have managed to reduce these by £70ish per month. This more than offsets the £15 rent increase and £3 council increase per month so very pleased with this
Emergency fund is now at £1304.48 so £100 moved over to other account. Bonus was added on to LISA so it's now sitting at £10300.22
Just one more payment to be added to it and that will be it for this financial year.
Pay slip is in and due to doing less overtime than usual last month, my pay is about £500/600 less than usual
so need to do a budget for this and see what I can add to savings. Debt Dec 2022 - £2972.68. Current debt - £0 (100% paid). Flat deposit - £14892.42/£15000 (99.3% saved). Emergency fund - £2000/£2500 (80% saved).1 -
Payday today and I've moved £225 to the LISA, £52 to the emergency fund and £50 to the holiday fund. Debt Dec 2022 - £2972.68. Current debt - £0 (100% paid). Flat deposit - £14892.42/£15000 (99.3% saved). Emergency fund - £2000/£2500 (80% saved).1
