  • morning! No telling's off *phew* ;)

    right well after trying to question dh casually about his back pay and when it might be due it appears that half will go in end of March so that is good will hopefully be enough to cover my spends :o of course the money could have gone to better use, but...

    So anyway today i need to clean the kitchen & wait for AF and get ready for nursery tomorrow -all free things!!!!! ;):o:rotfl: off i go.............

  • Ha Ha decided to go easy on you DFW !:rotfl:

    So no slapped wrists from me.

    Looks like you have a good plan in place for this week and although its just beginning it sounds to me as though you are really determined to stick to it ! I still haven't placed an order with AP, keep looking but never seem to get around to it. Anything in particular you recommend is worth getting from them ?

    Good news on the back pay, hopefully that will help get things back on track.

    Happy cleaning today !;)

  • DFW I fell off the 'getting debt free' wagon on Saturday too with a major spend at the supermarket, but on a plus note you have kept a note of where all the money went (well nearly all, apart from the £70) and I'm sure you'll soon be back on track.xx
