    Hi all...
    It wasn't just a puncture..so another £55 spent on new tyre!!!...finished up with all money plus a bit extra..not much but it was hard work.
    I don't want another month like this month as there was so much I wasn't expecting to pay for AND I haven't used a credit card..so quite proud of us.
    April will be so much easier...
    £196.60 off the debt today as a loan came out.

    Taxl - well done on achieving your goal. You've both worked really hard to get there and really deserve your day off tomorrow.

    I hope you put your feet up and enjoy your time off together.

    Thanks Urg.have quite a bit to do tomorrow at various times of the day.
    Got a meeting at DGS school tomorrow at 9.15am..so need to pick them up and take them and drop them back off at theirs.
    Sometime during the day DH and I will pop out to do a couple of jobs.He wants to see a vehicle that we are thinking of for a taxi..hopefully won't need one for a few years but if anything happens to this one then we need to know what to replace it with.We cannot go through the same thing as we went through last year when the cab got wrote off!!!
    Then at 6pm I'm at weight watchers.
    I will get some rest in though
