But I didn't once cry when I went through my divorce or when I was homeless for 17 weeks with a baby and a toddler as a result

Excuse the selective quote please Olive - but SNAP, or dang near as.

Morning All :hello: And the weekend starts here:j Not with partaying :beer: but with lists
And I've updated my signature :T to Pa.
So today I'll hit Lidl tonight (1st list = shopping list) and among my groceries I hope will be a watch
The rest of the tasks for this weekend are:

• prepare food and feed DS1, DS2, DS1's gf (vegetarian) me and the lodger. (about 3 meals a day if I know my boys :rolleyes: )
• Empty the piles of packaging from the sitting room back to the (now mouse free) loft
• Empty DS2's bedroom into the sitting room, loft and charity shop (or e-bay pile, but probably bin)
• Clean DS2's room, wash paintwork and gloss the skirting board. (Popeye doesn't usually allow me important bits of paintwork, but he's not here to take over) ready for a new carpet.
• Get suitcase down from loft and sort packing for NEXT weekend :j :j :smileyhea

Last night I had fun, and because I didn't drink I've woken up with financial plots and plans whirling round my head, I've already updated my signature (did I already mention that? ) and I've come to a conclusion about being debt free v the loans which need to run.
The loans currently have £8,250.38 to pay off (incls interest) and are reducing by about £500 a month at the moment. When we have paid off the credit card I will start saving money (in an ISA) and we will consider ourselves debt free when our savings match the amount outstanding on the loans. So June maybe when the cc's are clear, but we won't strictly be debt free until we have those savings too.

Have a great day everybody

Olive have a good weekend, i was going to share a moment about what makes me cry but i would blub all over again. So i won't.

The office was empty when I typed that yesterday, and when they returned I sorted something out in the depths of my desk

Yes soooo near Olive unfortunately I don't know of any MSE type places in your neck of the woods that we could meet for lunch - maybe you can think of one and we'll arrange it for another time?

Have a good day and I hope your 'chat' with your boss goes/went well xxx

Oh I like that, Olive, I like it a lot! £500 a month into £8-oddK means this year anyway, doesn't it? Um, I think so .... Fantastic stuff.
