    2023: the year I get to buy a car
  • I am thinking ISOM was in a mischevious mood yesterday..

    Well am feeling less pained today, but have a bit of a temp so at least i save on the heating.

    Debt busting wise have begun to make a spreadsheet for the year with goals as in when stuff should be paid off. I like the snowball calculator for that. I have also included Birthdays as there are a few biggies this year, so have set *mini* goals for that as in vouchers etc. If i have to resort to using ccards then i have some inbuilt motivation to boot me!

    So this year, friends 50th in feb
    DD2's 18th
    Nephew's 18th
    Parents in law 50th wedding anniversary
    DD1's graduation.
    Not including general birthdays..lol.


    I think any hols have been taken up with Geographical locations so will be looking at a week's break maximum. But will save us money in the long run.

    Ooeerrr!

    Hope everyone has a good one .
    Bob x

    Edit to say i forgot about a 60th as well..lol and a party to go to..but i will enjoy that.

    That doesn't sound too bad, Bob - on one of my train journeys last weekend, I got bored and worked out I'd subsidised Christmas without really trying to the extent of about £110, I was flabbergasted. Its a really big help!

    Look after that temp of yours - remember you need some heat in the house to heal, not just let the temp take care of you!
    2023: the year I get to buy a car
  • Shocking when you look at all really. I am trying to work on the one wage principle then everything else goes off debts and necessaries. I am also thinking we definately need new windows. I went around with a sealing gun before Christmas and i am not sure whether they will weather the weather..praying i can get another year out of them.

    I would feel really uncomfortable with the heating on..am not a great fan of central heating anyway (except for drying of washing). Will put it on at about 4pm for the evening.

    Lovely 'other person' is back from greece for 6 months. Saw her today ( is working at same place as before ) and will be able to see her almost every day:D . Now we can take the pressure off, after the 'explosion' before Xmas, and talk a bit more sensibly about possibilities.

    Rolo is doing his nut, looking at me, then walking boots....better take him out!
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    Thanks Bob. Its a case of what will be will be. The 'all-or-nothing'-ness ( sort that one out Grammar-Check! ) has gone, good. Who knows, being extra truthful at home about what is right/wrong may lead to a completely different conclusion to that which we were aiming at at Xmas.
    And no, we wont be meeting up for anything other than coffee on a daily basis....as before! So not being a complete !!!!!!, possibly?
    Feeling a lot happier and less under-pressure though which can only be a good thing for all involved.
    Thats it for now, soul bared.
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D
