 I actually told my hubby yesterday I am actually sick of being the only responsible one, not directly aimed t him but I'm dealing with the remortgage, saving as much money as I can in order to make our house nicer on the outside, managing my business, clearing out my grans house slowly and getting it on the market in the next couple of months as well as dealing with the paperwork coming out my ears regarding my grans care........it's never ending, I think I need to hire an assistant NEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.054 NEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.054

            I don't know how you do it all, you definitely need an assistant!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee3

            You definitely need more support.
 I can’t believe your husband has gone and used the credit card again. I’m sure it was only a couple of months ago when you found out he had a chunky balance on it and you cleared it for him. I’m sorry if this is out of line but it’s so disrespectful of him to do that again. I really feel for you!4

 Actually the parent who gave me notice has actually begged for me to cancel her notice period so I’m not losing any money in fact I’ll be £62 a week better off by taking on my morning mindee 2 days a week and a after schooler for two days a week, more pennies for savings xxNicnak said:Just caught up Abba,
 What a rollercoaster but so pleased that the mortgage is back on, your Gran has remembered a few bits and you got to see her and an amazing amount saved up already.
 Great news about filling the place from the child that has given notice as well. Gaining an extra hour is definitely a positive and hopefully you'll make up the other £42 in other ways.
 Have a lovely weekend. I hope you have some nice relaxing planned!NEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.054

 The wee one is slotting right into what I already work and I would drop him off at his little brother nursery as I walk past this nursery at 12.45pm when I'm taking my other mindee to a different nursery so slots in perfectly and it's only until August.Nicnak said:That's good Abba, as long as you are not over stretching yourself xNEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.054
