    What a horrible day weather wise !

    Spent the morning doing housework. Everything back to looking clean again.

    Nipped Mr S and stocked up on GF stuff £7 spent.

    Have been trying to just buy stuff like teabags, loo roll and washing liquid as I go and not having a stock in. It wasn't working for me so trip to HB today to stockpile . Spent £15.55 , some toiletries in there as well.

    All transfers done , so feel rich.

    Need to update signature, managed an extra payment of £23 this month on top of £50 I choose to pay . This has come from pay outs on PA .

    Windfall money is getting split as thus £200 to CC2 £100 to EF and £110 for a night away with my friend as she was the person who told me to claim.

    That sounds like a very good split, I approve :)

    Weather is horrid here too, gloomy, wet and very windy :eek:

    In an old life it would have been spent on a want ! Now it will be split between savings , overpayment and a bit of fun.

    Sorry, I thought I had said that I agree too :)

    Good weekend , very productive , probably because weather was so awful yesterday.

    Today was about shopping at Mr A £24.15 was a bit more than I thought it would be but within my budget so can't complain. Have lots in now.

    A few spendy days coming up , chippy tea to pay for on Wednesday for some Australian convicts lol.
    Sunday trip out and lunch out , petrol to pay for.

    Not much else though going on this pay month. Whatever happens it will have to be within budget.

    I reckon you have made a great choice with the way you have split your windfall. It's very kind of you to think of your friend and planning to have a jaunt together and a great way to spend your "bit of fun money".

    Now I am sure you mentioned a man a few posts ago - what have I missed?

    Are you enjoying the newly decorated part of your home?

    Haiving a clean and tidy house is a delight. I need to find the cleaning materials here - I really hope that when I open the cupboard of doom, also known as the under sink cupboard, I will find two little cleaning fairies but I actually believe it is more likely I'll find all the products dried up due to lack of use!!

    Anyway enough of my nonsense, have a good week

    I spotted that too, Pauline. Cumbria has been keeping us in the dark! :p

    I'm with you on the cleaning though, when my friend came the other day we stayed in the kitchen diner so that I didn't have to clean anywhere else :o

    On the cleaning thing , like to get it all done at weekend. The Hall is looking very bright .

    With regards to man , he has been in and out of my life for the past 8 years , we are not destined to be together for all sorts of reasons . No he isn’t married ! . He is though my best friend and the consistent rock in my life .

    We have no financial links , have our own rented accommodation etc.
