From Trash to Cash: Dribbling a river

dillidalli

Morning Jo -
honestly this is like sitcom week, I think there was a show a few years ago called the worst week; and this has been the worst week lite. It is more comic than tragic and I have to count my blessings and smile after all - it could always be a lot worse.:)

Oh Jo! How carp!!!!
You will get out of the OD... uggh I dread to think about how long I have been living in mine. Why not try and do what I did build and emergency fund. Since the start of the year I have tried to build an emergency fund. So it is strictly for random acts of the universe. Is there anyway that you can start something off so that in case of big emergencies rather than going into the account you have what I affectionately like to call 'bail money'

Hope DS is okay too...
thank God that it is payday tomoz

Thanks Dilli.
Thats exactly what this month is about. starting our emergency fund.
DHs gran always gives each of us a nice litle cheque at birthdays and my dad usually gives us a cheque for my birthday that covers all 4 of us for birthdays that have already happened. we have started using that money towards sorting ourselves out. so this year that is going straight into emergency fund so we don't have to panic when these things happen. plan to have 4 or 5 hundred in there by end of july with a bit of help from carboots and paying for new tyre.
will build it a bit more in august and then start hitting the debts with the snowball method.
Hi MM hope you get call from wedding mag and that the lappy is great.

lol Jo - yep I had a late night, by time I got to bed just setlled DD needed a wee, then settled again and DS woke with a bad dream and wanting a drink, then DD up at 6am with a dodgy tummy, so not a good night for sleeping last night lol!

Paula - I love the name but (sorry) I half expect the items to be edible, eg made of cake, because of the name........ deliberately being evasive lol..... but I do still love it and think it could work really well.

Mabel - woohoo! hows the laptop?

Dilli - I really hope the week gets better asap hun, hugs! Mind you it sounds as though you are laughing your way...hurray for that!!
