    Hi guys 

    I'm sweating here but all is good 

    Have been relaxing quite strange tbh but lounging by the pool and playing in the pool with kids then out for dinner at night seems to be out routine here and I'm loving it xx

    Also managed to transfer £100 to the emergency fund as parents have paid me but I don't need it as we have the holiday money do I only have to find £195 to get it back to the £1000 Mark so not much woo hoo

    Poor xander doesn't have much luck with trainers, his Nike air maxes stitching has split, got onto live chat and sent them pictures and they sent me a returns label and will send out his replacements when they get the return so can't complain, well I can I expect his trainers to last more than two wears as they were £80 in the sale reduced from £125 (hes 14 next week and a gents size 8 already 😮) so

    Evening 

    Sent another £100 over to the emergency fund as child benefit was paid in today only £89 to go before we are back at £1000 😁

    Holiday spends is doing ok still not telling hubby how much we left tho as he will want to blow it but I'm hoping to have enough to pay my self employment national contributions of £159 (I usually pay this after Xmas but it's a lot of money to find at that time of year so want to be organised) and also enough for xanders school trainers which will cost about £100 which is my budget but hopefully we can get under that xx

    One parent due to pay me £60 on Friday so that'll get transferred over to the emergency fund which means only £29 to find to get that emergency fund up to the £1k mark xx

    I'm trying to find out if by accepting the self employment government scheme which I have been told I qualify, if it will affect us remortgaging in April.  If it does would rather go without tbh but my income has halfed the last couple of months xx
