Happy new clothes I justified my recent Fat Face splurge in a similar way

Thx guys. Good to know I have company!
House does feel cosier with heating on timer, that's for sure.
OH still in low mood but got £900 extra in OT so that's going to be stashed away in a an OP pot. Makes it seem more worth it all, no doubt about that.MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

All good here. Just back from affirming day with good mate. Spent loads though as kids (and I!) did riding lessons, blimey. Spent a small mortgage on it.
In a positive mood tho, feeling positive. Have done a couple of PC surveys to add to the totals. Still aiming for OP to let us be MF by 2021.
Hope everyone is well.MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Hi all :wave:
Just had to adjust my sig as had double counted a pot when I checked with bank today. But still healthy so pleased.
Lazy day today..OH doing some DIY before the rugby starts and helpfully kids will cook spendy day tomorrow as will be out with friends and family for a meal (but will take drinks and snacks for in between times) and need to use the train so will take family rail card. OH is running 26 miles so proud..
Off next week..can't wait. I really really want the break and the lie ins. Will also help me get some stuff sorted paperwork wise but also domestic planning eg. meals and some errands.
Fire is on, girls doing homework, laundry on and on racks, lovely dinner in train, and all healthy and well. So much to be grateful for.MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Great day. OH did amazing despite some crazy hills. Had a blow out in a restaurant but MIl paid for more than their share and the train fare was a humongous (not ) £7. We took snacks and water so all in all not a bad day for what was a good day for the family memory bank.
Just started watching a new drama with Ann Marie Duff. Think this could be my new Broadchurch (albeit set in Mancs!) excellent watching.
On holiday..whoop! Unfort OH is going in for a half day. Boo.MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Hi dangers :wave: how's you? Enjoying the sun? Beautiful day again here.
That great news, although really not sure how they will carry on the story? Will have to watch and see I guess.
The Darkness is good. Watched 2 episodes yesterday and looking forward to the next one this eve.
Hoping for an affirming family week. OH has snuck into work though, hoping he'll be back around lunchtime. Have put kids on homework duties, think we might try and do something later.
Right best get a shimmy on and use this time to do some errands.. Including some clothing returns so that money will go back into my account!MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal
