Hi
Parents went home Monday, it is nice to see them but 8 days was a little too much for me when im used to 4 days once a year. DH wasnt too impressed when he found out they are coming back in August :eek: I guess we are selfish but just like our space.
Not been around much as needed to clean up and get some rest, money is flying out of the account after last week so really need to get a hold on whats going on. I dont think we will make my target that I had of £23500 next payday but I will try and get on with ebay and make up the difference. Good news is we will be over half way to clearing this debt.

Well i know im not going to make my targets with next payday but im not going to beat myself up about it too much. So much seems to be happening in our home and work life that im trying to go with the flow for a while. DS has been under a huge amount of pressure recently and is very low at the moment so DH suggested I take him away for a break with the extra money he got last month. I didnt need telling twice so I have booked and we are off for 3 nights away next weekend probably what we both need and it will be nice to spend some quality time with him before hes too old to do it. I also have a girly weekend away the first weekend in June :eek: more pennies.
Im not sure what impact this will have on the budget but I do know we will have cleared over 50% of our debt this month. Payday for me on Wednesday so I will have a good look at the budget and set some new goals.
I was also going to get some bits on ebay but now we are going to be away I will have to wait until next free listing time.
Im still trying to keep up with surveys and keep using cashback sites when I can, I really need to sort out this debt but my focus has gone not completely but need a kick to get me back into it.
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend HWG xMARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035
