Am very impressed you managed to struggle through my mutterings, Crumpets! x
The main news here is we are sub £30K!!! Whoop whoop!!:j:j ok - our balance at month end will be approx. £29991.00 - but it's sub 30k - yeay!!! (I'm not thinking about the fact that if we'd been able to keep up OPs at our previous rate we'd be sub £25k.... well, not much, anyway!!)
Mr Gt's job is going ok. Had a hitch with some expenses which haven't been received... but hopefully that'll be resolved next week, fingers crossed. And his recurring car issues seem to have( finally) been solved (I hope I've not spoken too soon there!!!)
Our youngest was 5 yesterday - our house is now awash with Angry Birds goodies! The two youngest have been off today - school closed as it's being used as a polling station, so we've had quite a lazy-ish day with lots of toys being played with and Lego being built
DD is halfway through her GCSEs and is coping well. DS1 has taken 2 x 1/2 GCSEs and is taking another one of some sort after the holidays (he's not the most communicative of teenagers!!!)
I'm planning on having a sort out of toys next week, seeing if I can get rid of any to keep the house a little tiny bit clearer (no OPs from them, though - the children get the money from the sale of any of their books and toys) We'll see if I can manage to get them to let go of any!!DD is blitzing her room once the exams are over with - although she has been taking great delight in putting unwanted paperwork in the recycling bin after each exam!
I must get our personal tax paperwork sorted next week, too - I want to get it to accountant asap as I'm hoping DH will be due a tax rebate - and I'm planning on OP-ing pretty much all of it! - so the sooner I sort it the sooner I can get my hands (briefly) on the money!!!I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £200 -
