It was hard to pinpoint where it was, strange noise, it was in one of the neighbour's gardens I think

Morning !!! :wave:
Seem to have woken up in a good mood this morning. Not entirely sure why but making full use of the energy in case it doesn't last... 2 loads of washing done (where does it all come from - I was up to date last week!), our bed stripped. Just having a spot of breakkie (marmite on toast) then getting ready to go out. Am checking out a potential nursery so [STRIKE]if[/STRIKE]when I get this job I can get Nathan settled and start sooner rather than later.
Hubbles reckons I should spend my first salary on myself (after paying bills obviously) and enjoy it before cracking on with debt busting... Any thoughts?26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

I see a cat (which looks quite demonic) but no kittens...
Oh - Mum has moved. I'm guessing the jumble in the corner is the 3 kittens. Much cuteness

Luc,
Your debt is manageable but do NOT under-estimate the cost of childcare-its a blooming KILLER!
I say treat yourself. I like your hubby xEmpty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0 -

Reckon will have to put about 1200 into joint kitty to cover bills including nursery (600 full time but will get childcare vouchers...). Leaves a good 800 to service debt (which needs recalculated:o) each month. Minimum payments are 250 a month...
[STRIKE]If[/STRIKE]When I get this job will be dusting off my diary and tackling debt full. Want to be debt free by next summer which is totally doable if I stay focussed...26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073
