Good Morning Diary,
Suddenly remembered whilst laid in bed that I hadnt updated my days left of loan!! So here it is:
55 days!!
What on earth has happened to the weather?! Not looking forward to dragging these 2 out on the school run its blowing a right rainy gale out there. We usually arrive at school 5 mins early but I wont bother today, dont want to be stood out in it any longer than needs be.
My early night didnt go as planned. Had a lovely time chilling out etc, was nicely falling asleep at 10pm and then bang wide awake!! I laid there for ages in the dark, then looked at the clock and it was 11pm. So I ended up going back downstairs to get a drink and watched a bit of TV and finally fell asleep about 12ish I think. Then was wide awake at 6am!!! Il be shattered later on.
Just done a quick round up of the bank accounts, all DD's gone out of joint now so not looking as lovely as it has for the past 2 weeks (DH got paid early). Today I will draw out whats left in the spending account so I know how much ive got.
Choo, I cant believe your exams were in Spring, they only seem like 2 mins ago!! I have dipped back in and out since having the kids but dont seem to get time anymore.
Mummy, now Eastenders is one I just cant get back into at all! Maybe its cos its down South and im a Northerner haha!!
Itsa, I used to always watch Hollyoaks too, every single night religiously. But the bed time hour when the kids came along was obviously much more important haha!!! Thing with facebook is if im not on the laptop on it, im on my bloody phone! What did I ever do before facebook!!! I do know I spend far too much time on there, although im a lot better than I used to be.
Right think thats about all from me! Catch up soon xxMummytogirls x0 -
I so relate to the having no time, but spending ages on Fbook and other sites. Sigh. I think there will be a back lash against facebook soon, as people realise how much time it sucks out of your day!!!
chevI want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

**** OMG rant alert ****
DH has really managed to p!ss me right off this evening. Basically i dropped my hours a few months ago and told DH that the playgroup/childminder fees would need to come from the joint account for a couple of months until big loan paid off. I never mentioned anything about actually physically putting it into the spread sheet. Well tonight the !!!!!! has hit the fan because he was expecting more in the joint account than there is. Like ive tried to get through to him I only warned him it would be happening I didnt say I had put it on the spread sheet!!! A simple misunderstanding which has caused an argument and now im mad.
I cannot talk to that man about money it always ends in shouting argh :mad:.Mummytogirls x0 -
Hi Mummy
Oh dear to DH, mine drove me mad before xmas with his reckless spends in December and then demanded to know where all the money had gone :mad: We ended up arguing over it and I offered to let him run the finances and strangely enough he's not taken me up on it!
Men :mad:0 -
Sorry about OH - sending hugs:grouphug:.0

Morning Diary,
Thanks for popping in Choo and Pennywise. After id had a bath and we had both calmed down we managed a conversation about it rather than a shouting match. Weve agreed on whats going to happen going forward and ive even written it all down for him so he cant turn round 3 months down the line and start complaining or saying hes forgot.
Another I thing I brought up was that he always sees the negative. That the fact that weve worked bloody hard to pay off £9000 in a year. Im hoping this will have helped in him seeing the positives.
Well yesterday I drew out the remaining money in my account. Spends were:
£12 Mr Al!
£16 Farmfoods
£50 petrol
Today will be a NSD too.
54 days left!!!!!!!
Right best get off and get sorted. Catch up soon xMummytogirls x0 -
Hi mummy
Just popping on to say hello. Mr G is a nightmare for forgetting things that I have told him :mad: Luckily we have separate finances (and if we got married I would insist on not changing that!!) but he still does my head in with money.
Take care xxMortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
Mortgage today = £161,690.76
300 271 payments to go.House buyout fund £21,000/£40,000

Morning diary,
Rubbish weather again, im surprised all our fences etc are still in tact after last nights gales. Not complaining mind!!
Hi Gap, thanks for popping in how are you doing?
Well nothing to report really. Work today but its my short day although with all the running around picking up and dropping off its probably easier to sit at work all day. After school we need to go order DD some new glasses as they seem to have been lost at school. Thank god they are free and its on the way to DH's work aswell.
Bolognaise out of the freezer for tea :T. Hopefully it will be NSD4 aswell, not planning on spending anything anyway.
Last night I did 45 mins of Wii fit and just dance, slept so much better last night and not sure if its because of the exercise or that I was just really tired from not being able to get off to sleep the previous 3 nights. Might go on the cross trainer this evening, will see how I feel later on.
Oh did anyone watch one born every minute? I always have to watch it cant help myself! Does not make me broody at all :rotfl:.
53 days :j.
Right off to check some more diaries before getting DD's dressed. Have a nice day all xxMummytogirls x0 -
Mornign mtg, hope you have a good day.0
