Thank you Keeping Positive, it doesn't always feel like it but we keep plodding.

it's freezing here today and I keep thinking it's 6 and half weeks to November yet :eek: ! I hope the weather warms up just a little or at least doesn't get much colder i'm not sure i'll last otherwise

Glad your OH has snapped out of his moods, my DH does it all the time here and i'm fed up of it. Well done on getting below the £8k on the card!

Well done Alice sounds as though the plodding is paying off - plenty of plodding being done here too:D

DFW123 I know what you mean I had to put the heating on for 45 mins last night but am doing my best to keep it to a minimum until at least october

Keeping_Positive

Heating went on here earlier due to the downpour. Hope it doesn't become the norm elec and gas so expensive .

Plodding always good if you run you can easily slip.

Well I caved in tonight, fire light on so at least it was psychologically warm if not physically so

Hope you've had a good day today Alice

I'm a tad jealous you all had your heating on a bit. We're still refraining.:D

I have pegged out today, only had the airer out for a few days and fed up of it already..............its going to be a long winter.

I'm really fed up of doing packed lunches and (what seems) the lack of food in the house for them, need to rethink menu plan for our meals and DS2s and OHs lunches.

We've run out of washing up liquid and are running low on basics, will try and hold out until tomorrow though.

OH had letter from Aktiv [EMAIL="K@pital"]K@pital[/EMAIL] with another offer if we pay it off now....I wish! We owe approx. £1200 on this account and we've only paid them £150 whilst on our dmp.:eek:

keep plodding and updating your diary. I went to school meeting & came back to hubby with heating on! off again! but it was nice to have a warm house
washing pegged out too in-between showers.
can I ask.. when I offer items on freecycle why do I manage to choose the people who do not turn up for item! it drives me crazy

sorry for rant.......

Just discovered while in hospital the £2 and 20ppot got raided to pay for parking. all gone but in the bright spot I had family who came to see me.

Rant away tunathe cat.:) If I was to put things on freecycle that is was would probably happen to me too, not nice is it especially when you've taken the time to put the item on there in the first place.

Went shopping yesterday - £29 :eek: and that was only basics, put £10 petrol in too.

OHs payday today, need to sort car insurance for the 'other car' as its run out today.

Hopefully tonight we can sort out meal planning/lunches etc and we're going to have a look at the budget........well I will, not sure OH will join in.:( I've been having cereal for lunch at work this week so my lunch has been quick and easy.:D

Also thinking of ordering a couple of Christmas presents this weekend......must make a start at least.

Arrggh last night was a bit stressful, there just wasn't enough time to do everything.

I left OH with the task to sort the car insurance out, got to nearly 9 and still nothing sorted so I had to do it, otherwise OH wouldn't of been able to pick DS3 up from school today.:(

I've worked out I am 'missing' 3 hours a day, I'm out at work for approx. 10hours, get 6 hours sleep, 2hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening getting ready and doing breakfast/tea and chores etc, that makes 21 so where are the 3 as I certainly don't seem to have 3 hours spare of an evening!!

No social events this weekend, just usual sport clubs.
