  • Its pay day today and this was our mission:-

    We paid off Addition Catalogue - Paid £70.00 YAY Finally cleared!

    Been to the bank and paid in some money to OH account so we can pay £552 towards his Very Catalogue. OH balance before was £585.

    This leaves the Very balance at £32.71. Wish we had the extra £32.71 to clear the Account today :( However he willl clear this next Friday when he gets paid.

    So the debts stand at £752.71 now, which we hope to clear by the end of Oct :)

  • Evening all,

    Today I have:

    * Washed and line dried another load of teenagers clothes (I honestly don't know where it all comes from)
    * DH cooked tea from scratch - and it was lovely
    * Kept the grocery shop within budget
    * Stopped myself from buying some more work trousers on line
    * Finished my college assignment (not stricty DFW but it did distract me from trouser shopping!)
    * Blitzed the kitchen

    Still feeling pretty rough so I'm looking forward to a nice 'quiet' family night in :)
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x
