Well done Hypn, now my whole flat could do with a lick of paint...I'd put you up and ply you with wine and make you laugh...!!!

Well done on all the decorating

hypno, you never fail to amaze me with what you achieve....so glad your lounge is now clear and fresh and looks bigger with moving things around, i always find that is a good thing to do to just refresh...

on the sports bra front...not sure what size matalan go up to, but you could check on line, as i said i have tried a few and am still amazed at how the matalan one is holding up, or holding up things!!!!

Morning all - Monday morning is upon us again. It is mid August, but the weather outside gives the impression of being mid October!

Payday is a week away, and I am v close to the wire now, so this week will be one of uber-frugality. It can be done, though, and we have plenty of food here to ensure we don't starve - just milk etc to buy later in the week as needed.

So, off to scratch and bank, and generally get on with the day - have a good one everyone xx

Morning Hypno,

Good going with the decorating! I love how a room looks completely different with a repaint and a move around:) I have just done this with my hallway and it looks fab (well, looked fab until the leak yesterday!)

Hope you stay in budget on the lead up to payday, I am sure you will be just fine:) xx

Unless anything unexpected crops up, then I should be ok. The car has half a tank of petrol, the cupboards are stocked up, and the children are used to the "last week until payday" scenario, so shouldn't be too demanding!

Student money has arrived, which will cover the cc spends we had while on holiday so that is all good too.

Good morning. Well done on your decorating efforts, it certainly does smarten up the place. I'm still amazed at all the rooms I re-painted a couple of weeks ago.
I'm now like the "dirty marks" police to make sure they stay that way! :rotfl:

Have a good week - I'm sure the budgetting won't be a problem for you

Nice to have you back, macgirl!

It was lovely to come into the lounge this morning - although it is just the same colour as it was, it looks and feels so much better. Am very pleased we put in the effort!

Hopefully, the same can be said of the hall next week, although I am not so looking forward to the fiddly glosswork - I have the longest bannister in the world (or so it seems when I count the spindles!!!)

I can't afford to get the "big" things done, like replacing bathroom suites, but for the cost of paint and a bit of effort, I reckon that we are making a good difference

Verbatim

Well done on being on targey and within budget with only a week to go to payday.
And those totals are tumbling so fast now you'll soon be debt free.
