    My debt is cleared MD said I didn't need to pay her and SFD back, I would like to start a savings PAD as soon as possible, I need to wait until September! I will aim for £1K first.
    Goal 1: Get a permenant job that sticks.
    Goal 2: Aim 15 No spend days in January or above actual so far - 6/15
    Goal 3: Get a lodger
    Goal 4: Once goal 1 & 3 complete add 2.3K to the EF
    Goal 5: Once goal 4 complete save for my own car as I do need one? Do I?

    My PAD today is £3, although annoyingly I’ve had to add a bit to my overall debt. Ah well, clearing debt doesn’t always happen in a straight line

    £1,019.63

    That is the total for 1 Aug 25 which is a fine start to the month.

    I’m conscious that a lot of us are having personal struggles at the moment. I will try to add something a little positive with each daily update. Today I’m attaching a photo from this morning. The ThatcherS cider balloons were up and about early. I think that sometimes the photos don’t quite do justice to the actual sight.

    Thanks @AntoMac for the piccies and comments I am debt free MD said I don't have to pay her and SFD back! however I am borrowing again to get the second bedroom more comfortable for me to sleep in and new lodger taking my room. I am getting a quote for Cupboard reducing size tomorrow morning, It will be great if I can keep part of the cupboard as opposed to ripping it out, as I could do with the storage, I am expecting it to not cost more then a months plus the money from Bank switch. So all looks good here! I hope this is some good news for you to read antomac, also I hope to get a job soon. XX.
