    Thanks guys, last went well with the family, tonight’s is fantastic! However dh and I wen to bed about 9 after we did the food so they can let loose 😆 they said they don’t mind if we stay but I wouldn’t want my parents at my party! It’s killing me as they are playing such a good range of music whilst singing very loudly and dancing, it’s our pay back for some of our noisy neighbours 😆

    They have all been banned from the kitchen as the now blind cat is safety in there with her things for the night, except all the boys friends know her and I keep finding the odd one of the in there making sure she’s ok, so sweet 😁

    Oh bless, going to check on the cat during a party is just the sweetest thing.

    What a weekend, I am shattered! Most of the day was spent cleaning up as they all had plans all day and night, I ended up popping to the pub in the evening for a couple and staying all night with them.I’ve had so little sleep the last few days and yet still wake up at 6.30 am everyday, so frustrating! 

    Dh will be of no use as he was attempting to keep up with their drinking last night, I’m hoping for a quiet one today. 

    Financially I’ve overspent on their birthdays, but not shockingly really it’s just extra food at costc@ as they had the party and about five bottles of pimms to go with the beer, although I did of course buy ald@ pimms 😬 drunk dh bought quite a few rounds last night but their local is a crazily cheap so it won’t have been too bad even though there were probably about 16/17 there. 

    Today I will sort the accounts out and update, I defiantly will!

    I think there’s lots of lines being drawn here too over and over again 😆

    I’m in bed finally, lovely fresh sheets and all my bits and bobs to check the finances, it will get done 😁

    Phew, finally an update! 

    From now on I’ll update regularly again and keep it simple rather than including offset figures separately.

    Xmas and birthday budget is intact and I have just over £100 in my personal spending account until the end of the month when it tops up by the same again. I shall repost again in a few days and include the travel spending pots.
