    Getting through MOT day unscathed is always a result 🙂.
    It absolutely is with an older car 😅

    I'm a bit late to the passing the MOT party - it's excellent news and always a relief.
    Shoe shopping is a pain so I wish you luck with it.

    Glad your car passed its MOT.  Mine did too and even though it's a newer car and this was its first MOT I felt nervous.  The MOT person thought that was amusing but years of older cars, no money to fix them or buy a new car clearly leave scars.

    Well that was a strange week! I could read the forum but not post 🤣 did wonder if I had been banished never to get debt free and I missed my nightly check ins quite a bit.

    I have managed to stay in budget and not dip into the EF - pay day is 2 days away! I will need to pay the car tax, new water pump and sort the insurance but hopefully won't break the bank. Holiday fund is now at my target amount so next step is Banish The CCs as I am not making the progress I both want and need to.

    Missed you all!!

    How Strange! Well its great to see you back posting again :) 

    Well done for not dipping into the EF. My payday is Monday, this paying back debt stuff really makes the months drag! I find i am constantly counting down the days each month lol.

    Looking forward to seeing you making some good progress on them CC`s.
