    Another week and another sunny day.......

    Paid this months CC bill, it hurt - definitely will encourage better behaviour for next month.

    OP's made to mortgage and the money shuffle completed.

    Not much else to report:
    -Still sunny
    -Still hot
    -Still steaming
    -Still no news on school places
    -Boys are still super noisy
    -DH still spends too much at the supermarket
    -I still want to be Mortgage Free

    Busy busy with work and trying to work out how to fit everything in whilst making sure the boys have some amusement too.

    Morning!

    A new month already...... time is really flying by.

    Just updated signature, down to a smidge over £60k, had hoped to get it starting with a "5" but then that's my punishment for spending too much.

    Took the boys to the seaside last week for the day - very nice indeed.

    And, good news - the boys got their school places! So very happy and the boys are delighted..... we can relax now for the rest of the holidays and look forward to a new school in September. Hurrah!

    Thanks moneycurious, your fingers crossed must have done the trick!!!!

    :j:j:j Great news - happy holidays :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Just popping in to say hi, I am just about organised enough to come back to MSE and start reading other people's threads again.

    Hey aj, thanks for popping in, how are you doing?

    I've been hopeless recently and haven't managed to keep up with diaries at all. It's been a headache balancing school holidays with keeping on top of my work.

    I am good thanks, busy with work which is why I have not read any other threads. It should calm down a bit next week.

    Moneywise things are brilliant so something unexpected must be about to happen!

    How are the purchases going or is GG managing those too? :rotfl:

    Purchases are shocking.... I've given up listing them. As soon as I declare myself cleansed of spending sins, something else comes along..... Ordered the school uniforms yesterday, so another £200 spent. It's just one thing after another. I'm just thankful that we've got the funds to cover it.
