    morning lucelle

    we all make **** ups dont be to hard on yourself....
    will be doing my shop banking today and im sure ill find several costing issues that could have been avoided if only i would have thought things threw more,,,,we learn ,we change habits ,,,we dont do it again unless we decide too..that why we are all here, because for one reason or another we were crap at handling money or the situation :o:o

    but now,,,we know better ,,we decide, we have the knowledge.
    but we still muck it up sometimes...difference is we act on it asap

    keep the faith

    Not only did I go over the overdraft, they bounced a cheque to pay for DS2s ski trip. That looks so good at school. Thank goodness this week is over.

    Off to some fireworks tonight. DS1 has made a lurrrvely pizza at school. We only got a nibble as he is scoffing it. OH has gone to Lidl to get dome fruit and veg.

    The boogers. Bouncing your cheque and no doubt charging you for the privilege.

    Another letter from school regarding DS1s lack of course work, think I'm going to kill him. Just done my car insurance through quidco with £55 cashback. Probably take ages to come through but very welcome when it does.

    2 loads of washing on the line and another 3 to go out when washed. Fireworks were so good last night we are off to another lot tonight. OH is working so its me and the chaps. Lovely day here and I'm desparate to give the grass its final haircut but no mower. Honestly its like the cobblers kids, as OH 'does' garden machinery you'd think we'd have 1 functioning mower. There are 6 that might work if he gets time to look at them. Currently have a quad thats in intensive care, DD2 is administering a drip (oil) as I type. Looks like I'll just have to read my book. Shame
