    Morning all!

    well its morning to me anyway, am still in bed.

    Went baby browsing yesterday and found the travel system that we want, and we can get everything we need with it and it'll be under £200. Its on sale at the moment but not sure how long thats going to last, but we have no spare cash at all!

    Got a surprise refund from southern water for overpayment at the cottage so that was nice to get. DH has gone to pay that into one of my accounts, and then we need to figure out what needs paying off, and get accounts in order, as despite me cancelling direct debits, they've still tried to take them, so going to be getting some charges me thinks.

    Wouldnt have got to this if I had just got my bleeding wages but hes still refusing to pay them until he gets his refund from the gym membership, which rests on the post office sending out confirmation of the redirection of our post!
    Such a nightmare!!!!

    So few money worries, and not feeling too chipper today, but will carry on regardless... in fact had better get my backside back on dooyoo!!!
