Mudbath

:wave: hiya everyone
Guess what? I've done very little today! Walked the dogs, s/s the kitchen and that's it. About to start work. After that i'm going to walk the children to my mums and then come back and do floors etc. It's freezing and i'm too stubborn to put the heating on - i'd probably get more done if I wasn't so cold! Lol!

Massive hugs to toots, LL and pigpoo xx

Hi all :wave:

I've spent the last 2 hours cleaning and tidying downstairs. It was really bad. Nothing's been done here for about 3 weeks, and it's got really out of hand. I was looking at my house as if through someone elses eyes, and I thought.... this isn't who I am, or who we are as a family. It looks horrible. So now that I'm finally feeling better I've had a blast through.

It's looking heaps better.

Lunchtime. Not sure what to have........

Mummyo5 There is a chams (not sure of spelling) at the childrens centre at the Royal Hope this helps. I bet she gets frustrated as well.

I'm still working on my finances, so many changes happening to things within my budget and I've had my letter about switching over to fortnightly payments for my benefits so now I need to juggle my spreadsheets with it all in :rolleyes: Had a bit of good news though, I paid off a lump sum of my overdraft using a CC cheque (cheaper rate) and I was expecting it to go through as a "Cash" purchase since I used a cheque, well it didn't, it went through as a balance transfer which is 4%pa less than cash So I updated my snowballing account with the actual interest rate for my CC (I put the cash rate in to cover the cheque payment) and just that one change has shaved 5 months off my debt free date Just need to juggle the budget properly so I can see where the money should be going. I'm desperate to get a set grocery budget for each month.
