Living for the Present...after all who doesn't love a gift!

Afternoon!

What a busy morning! Have done 3 washes (whilst the sun is shining!!) and painted 2 chairs. I'm covered in paint, almost as much as went on the chairs. Standard for me :rotfl:.

We received a phone call from DH 's mum last night concerning the inheritance and it should hit his account this week :T it's for approximately £6,000 :j:j:j:j Our debt is £8.500 and I am wondering if I can offer a few full and finals to get rid of everything. There is no harm in trying right? And if they say no then I am still nearer to paying it off than without the money :T I reckon we will be debt-free with this by 2014 :beer: What an exciting prospect :j DH is fully on-board for paying off the debt! And I need to get it out of his account as soon as it lands really as although he's on board right now once he sees it I'm not sure he will be feeling the same way :eek: I expect he will want to go on a spend spree ....however my bank account is still suspended on my phone bank app, will try the one on the computer in a mo see if it lets me log on !

I have 4 washes to sort out and put away after i've had some lunch and I'm waiting in for a delivery which should have been here by 1pm....hmm.....I also need to go to the farm shop as we're out of fresh stuff!

DS1 is at a cricket match in Chelmsford today as a special treat from the school (not quite sure he deserves it with his current attitude but it was free so I let him go!)

I want the money to land in DH's account so we can sort paying people off! I might post on the main DFW boards and see what success people have had with offering F&F with the creditors we have?!

What a fantastic windfall, Will make such a difference to your DF date ! Maybe spend a little on a bottle of something nice so you can raise a glass to MIL

Thanks Mara i'm so excited but at the same time I feel awful because it was DH's grandad that had to pass for us to receive this !

I forgot to add that I made £100 from ebay sales from our furniture (sales were £200 but we split everything down the middle )
