Thanks folks! Your support means so much, sorry for any embarrassment OF!!
Good day today, no spends save for a part for next van hire and a drink in a pub..took our own sandwiches to eat! Also stopped at home and took HM pickle and gorgeous Brizzle ground coffee from stores for our friends..good move I thought!
A friend has also asked me for a small loan..am very happy to give it ( but talked it over with OH first, my how we have moved on in the last 2 months!) It means that she and her kids can go away for a week this summer which is pretty important for their sanity. So she will pay me back a fixed sum each month..which is fine but am SO pleased we have been restrained over our holiday. Hopefully this means despite the loan I can still have a sub £10k party in early September!! Need to get a shimmy on if I am to hit the DFD on NYE!MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal
