Abba1772's Debt Free Diary

Wow I'm in awe at how busy you always are! I've done barely anything in comparison and I'm already willing to be bedtime! lol

I know what you mean about hubby spending money if it's not all accounted for beforehand. Mine is bad one for that too. He has his own credit union account and every year (up until now anyway) we've taken out a loan to buy things we need every November - last year we bought a roof rack and box for the car and hubby got himself a new guitar amp. The loan comes out of wages and we still have the original capital....but no sooner has he spent one lot he's already planning what he'll get next November. If I told him that I was putting £100+ a week of his wages towards tackling our debts, he'd be telling me to go slower and enjoy the money more, buy things that he keeps telling me he 'needs' like guitar accessories or a new tablet (his current one is still perfectly fine, just a bit slow as it's 2 years old). As it is all I tell him is the current debt amount, and what we've paid so far. I don't tell him how, or when, just the result, and he's happy lol. Just keep plugging away and soon all that cash you're sending to the barclaycard will be going towards fun stuff!

It must be a guy thing :rotfl:

Why has it been three days since I put something on my dairy not like me but my excuse I've been mega busy but still logging on to do my pay a day towards the barclaycard

As you can see I'm £85.07 away from hitting £1500 :j might not hit it at the end of the month as my mortgage and window loan are due on thursday.......the day beforehand hubby's payday :mad: really need to look into getting these dates moved to the start of the month so that'll get put on my to do list

Still exercising but omg my butt cheeks are killing me today must have pushed myself quite hard :rotfl: better have a result on the scales tomorrow :rotfl:

Working 8.30am til 5pm only got one mindee this morning still had to set up playgroup £1 was a quiet session :T

Spent £2.20 on a roll at the bakers and mindee is having her lunch just now

Got the nursery run to do today then I'm off to visit my wee gran who stays just up the road from the school so ideal for the after schoolers to be picked up from school today at 3pm :T

Once the kids have all been picked up it's dinner time then it's avon time.......all customers have been messaged hopefully the rain will beat it tonight's

Got 21 previous campaign books prepped and ready to be distributed in the same street we canvassed last time,........it's quite a long road so fingers crossed we get some new customers :T next week

Was going to say thank goodness it's Friday but I have another childminding course tomorrow 9.30am til 3.30pm :mad: could think of better things to do with my saturdays so need to get up early, shower quickly nip up to town for getting weighed and grab a sandwich as there's are no places to eat where we are training :mad: so a busy morning so kids have asked to make homemade pizzas tomorrow get :T so a wee trip to Aldi after my training then hopefully I'll get to chill out :j

Hope you all have a fab weekend xx

Course was very interested and it finished a hour early :j

Hubby sold his car :T on Saturday might be able to clear the barclaycard by the end of the month although hubby wants me to put it by for holiday spending money but what he doesn't know doesn't hurt him :rotfl: feel bad tbh but would much rather clear the card, then clear the loan for my eye for the end of April then save save save from the end of April til the end of June for our holiday ........does that make sense ????

Sunday was busy but with bursts of sitting watching programs plus didn't get in late as picked Abbie and her friend up from Glasgow as they were at a panic of the disco concert so I'm shattered :rotfl:

Hubby bought me a new bed :T getting delivered some time next week ......ain't he a nice guy only wanted ours replaced since we moved in here :j abbies getting our bed and I'll sell her bed on fb

Also sorted through my boys clothes as both of them have taken a stretch Kk needs new trousers and a couple of new hoodies and Xander needs a couple of pairs of trousers and a few new tops so will see if we can get them some this weekend.......will sort out the clothes and see what can be sold in bundles and what needs to go to the school donation bin ........I think anything I sell will go towards the holiday spending money

Confession time :eek: my laptop of ten years old is on its last legs been looking to replace it for about three years but better things have needed replaced or bought so got a bargain in currys last night same make as old faithful for £419 it's on my Halifax card but this will be paid off preferably before I go on holiday :cool: well that's my plan hopefully I can stick to it but it's so pretty and I can put it through my account ps as I use the laptop for all my childminding work so win win :T

Right off to get Kk ready for school and head up to set up playgroup xx
