Hope you are feeling better and a bit more upbeat today Mrs B !
You are doing fab, juggling all those balls (so to speak !) and tackling those debts.
We seem to leak money in this house as well, its so frustrating, but at least I am in good company ! xLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Hi Brizzle,
I hope you are feeling a little up beat. I hate the end of the month feeling when you are waiting for pay-day.
Fingers crossed you get to make a decent overpayment to make it all worth while

Thanks guys..have blown the budget with a huge weekend.:eek:..but we all loved it :T
Recovering today...washing, tidying up and dealing with knackered kids..as well as a spin down the CSs for DD1s new summer wardrobe...blimey she has grown:D
I think the OPs will be a bit restrained for the next week..and need to sort out the work expenses. That's a priority..as ever.. As regular readers will know it is not my strong point!:o
Hanging on in there for payday. Wednesday can't come soon enough. Plus repairs needed on van:( but OH has ordered parts and says he can fit them himself..so fingers crossed.
Dinner today will be scraps from the fridge made into some kind of approximation of a pasta sauce:T:rotfl:...wish us luck guys! If I can brave the rain I may go to the allotment and get gooseberries..if not,then it's no pud for us!MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

I know!!! :eek:And we spent a lot at the weekend...but I have my van hire buffer and thats what will be the bulk of it. The agency are great at paying promptly but I am hoping I can just squeeze the OP in around the end of the month..may need to take an extra couple of days..and just edge it into August
I am also behind with my work expenses which is always a boost to the current account as some work stuff isn't able to go on a CC.MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal
