Bet you feel loads better having got the new windows in as they make such a difference.

Just need to get round to cleaning them now.......some hope!

Right, off to bed to see if I can actually give the impression I am awake at my desk tomorrow.....was touch and go today for sure!

Re envelopes, I used to do the same sort of thing with jars, I have sort of fell out of doing it recently - which predictably has lead to a huge f888 up in the "budget"

need to start again in July!

Windows sound good xxxx

Well it is payday next Weds, so I am going to start the envelopes today for the last week of the month with my remaining meagre funds, as I still have a lot to cover eg DDs birthday etc.....might as well start as I mean to go on!

My friend used to do the envelopes and it really worked for her. If she had a wedding coming up, or something big to pay for, she borrowed it out of each envelope - thus decreasing the amount she had for the weeks. Seems sensible to me - but not being that sensible in the money department, I doubt I could do it

Great news about the windows - we're getting ours done in 3 weeks. I'm a bit sad really. We have mainly sash windows and I love them, but I know other people don't. It seems sad to be ripping them out when they've worked perfectly (with no condensation) for over 100 years

Anyway - have a good day Hypno!

Mine weren't as lovely as sash windows - mine were pure 1990 mass produced tat.....

Not any more though :cool:

I've tried all sorts of budgeting stuff - my last method worked for a few months but then I lost my way a bit and started spending too much.

Hopefully this will get me back on track, and then I can go back to the way it was before - after OH first left, I was very much on top of the finances, and was even able to build up savings....so I CAN do this, I just have to get back to a point where it works, and that involves being very strict again.

I will let you know how I get on of course!

Right, the shower beckons.....have a good day everyone xx

It's good that you try a method, then when that stops working, you try something else, rather than my method - give up!
Inspiring as usual *now where are those envelopes....*

hypno06

Here, have some of mine - I have loooooads!

hypno06

Right - armed with a wad of envelopes I am off to work......slightly excited about the envelope thing tbh :rotfl:
