Thats another fine mess I got myself into

In_my_dreams

Sorry to hear that DH is not playing ball. In my limited experience with (my) men and money, they react out of guilt and would rather have a go than admit you are right - of course this might just apply to my OH :rotfl: You do have my sympathies, I have my up and down days with OH. I can start upset about finances, and he ends up annoyed and cross with me - what's that all about???

Hope you are managing to laugh right now x

REDMADCURLS

Yes honey I am laughing because again, I think we are married to same man!

I am up, he is upstairs snoring his little head off. I did ask him last night what was wrong and he told me he was just fine - so fine him!!!

REDMADCURLS

Going to see if yesterdays postivity and energy can carry on!

Todays list
a) Continue sorting business accounts
b) Go to Sainsburys (have £10 off £50 voucher so feeling decadent!)
c) Go to B&Q and buy pressure washer (have researched the cheapest, I think)
d) Clear out 'Wendy House', our equivilent of a loft (not too big but full of carp)
e) Possibly list some stuff on ebay!! (At last)
f) stick to diet!

and breathe...............

Oh the washer is a Kacher 2.65 and with discount I got it for £89 at B7Q (plus 3.5% quidco)

Any-one, who is awake, got any opinions on that


(I am buying it with my savings as I know DH will swallow them up for the business and his poor financial management if I dont)

Hi Red, where is all that positive energey coming from? I've not long got out of bed and am feeling shattered. I'm sure if I had lots of money I'd feel better Have given myself a headache thinking about finances this morning so am going to try and spend the day chilling and reading to take my mind off things.

DTBDF - I have no idea, just rollin' with the punches!

REDMADCURLS

In the purchase of the pressure washer at £89 I have found some receipts from B&Q when DH went to buy the bathroom tiles (which still isn't finished) He bought a saw thingy at £16 so the cuts in tiles around radiator would not have to be straight! (This is supposed to be an el cheapo bathroom makeover until I can afford new suite) So that along with other unecessary 'stuff' has made me £23, plus I have a credit note for £15 so now the washer is costing me £51!

PS Another reason we are in debt is DH implusive shopping!

Also had a bath (so smell pleasant) and cleaned bathroom (well as much as I could in the middle of the tiling stuff!) But I am not bitter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't it 15% off at B&Q this weekend (if you spend £50 or more)? I know it was yesterday and I'm sure that it is today. I think you'll qualify. Hope you do x

REDMADCURLS

I did indeed qualify, but they wouldn't give me credit note on unused tile thingy which meant I was down £16 - so it cost me £66, was orginially £149 reduced to £109 so I am a happy Red!

Went to Sainsburys - spend £50 there and get £10 off. I spent £51.85 which I think is flipping marvellous (I know diehards would say I should have spent £50.01!) FYI one of their offers is 3 chickens for £10, which I thought was good.
