    Most people have a car on some kind of finance. I wouldn’t worry about that too much. 😀

  • I've just caught up, hubby's card gone by weekend? That's incredible.
    Great about the refund and now your Christmas focus. It's a shame about the Florida trip though.
    More income is good too.

    My gran is doing ok, she has her moments where she's had enough but she knows me and my family are all there for her, spent 3 hours with her this afternoon just chatting rubbish with her but wouldn't happen any other way.

    I'm thinking if telling hubby is March that is all cleared don't want him to start wondering how I've tackled the debt otherwise he might start thinking we have a bigger budget that what I've actually got us on lol xx

    I’ve learned my lesson the hard way over the years, never tell a man everything, so that’s an excellent idea not to let on 👍

    Glad your gran is doing ok, she’s lucky to have such a lovely family keeping an eye on her 💕

    afternoon

    Kids are eating their lunch so I've popped on here

    Got the new girl today she's lovely and she's eased in quite well today and the dog likes her lol

    went to bed with a migraine and woke up with one, right eye all blurry but just keeping the painkillers coming as I am too busy to be sore.  

    Managed to pay my Avon invoice and paid all the commission I have that were notes into my account, still have the change bag tho and have a couple of deliveries to get rid of tonight.

    Planning on putting £200 of our avon commission towards the barclaycard as determined to get this card cleared by Wednesday, how exciting then that means all money earned is ours, have about £70 on my very account for xmas pressies and about £260 on my credit card for the shopping spree with abbie getting everyone's xmas eve pjs and clothes from Primark but hoping eldest sons refund for his Florida trip comes through as this will clear that so not bad in the scope of things.  sent £7 something towards the barclaycard

    Have spent £45 on two pair of trainers for KK one for school when they go back after xmas and a pair of his xmas, got cashback and 30% off even better was they were already in the sale to begin with 

    Also spent £11.20 on a fortnite tracksuit for KK as this was on his santa list so at least I'm kinda organised.

    I have to walk the wee one to nursery and typical it's raining after it was such a nice morning, then i need to power walk to the butchers for burgers for hubby and then I need to nip to homebargains for dog food and bin bags then power walk for other mindee getting collcted at 2.45pm

    Then it's off to collect KK from school and I will finish painting my bathroom, i painted it white yesterday as it has been freshly plastered and today I'll be painting it a nice light fresh yellow which is washable, not wallpaper in sight and then once it's dry hubby will put my radiator back on, my blind, picture frame and shelf back up for me and that's that room all back to normal, thank goodness

    Hoping the migraine stays away as all I want to do is curl up into a ball xx

    Glad the new girl is nice. I love the colour yellow it’s so cheerful, your bathroom will look lovely. We got rid of wallpaper all through our house, have had all bar 3 rooms replastered and painted and they’re on the to do list. 

    I hope the migraine has gone by now. It wouldn’t hurt to take a night off you know.
