Wow Pippi - you don't seem old enough to have an 18 year old!:D - doesn't it seem like just yesterday that we were all that age?

Looks like it is a banking kind of day! I'm spending the lunch break balancing the books. Think this might be a habit to continue every day for the next few weeks! Gives me time while the brain is still awake to focus, instead of during the usual evening fog.

Trying to figure out how to pay down the debt (and not incur more) while still paying all the bills...

OH was made redundant the start of September (the day we came back from vacation :eek:) - he has a bit of a payoff from them, but it won't go far so he's looking & looking some more...

Though I don't track it in my siggy, we've managed to knock 1700 of his credit card debt (lots of which was my spends from moving across the pond.)

A minute ago he was five..........

Right - sleeves up - banks ahoy.

I know what you mean there. I can't believe my DD is 5. I mean where has the time gone? DS will be one next month as well :eek: where are my babies?? It's quite scary that I feel like I'm missing things as they grow up.

Sorry

We've had snow here and its gone but its cold, aside a leached bank account due to fun, not much to report.

Need to get back on the straight and narrow as we're hoping to get away at xmas for more fun and we need to batten the hatches and save up/live frugally inbetween now and then.

No scheduled trips away (aside work) before then last week was taken over by planes trains and automobiles.

Today

Check banks
Check expenses and write them up
Write invoice for work
Check other work for timesheet I can put in for garden guru being away
Write firm letter to ex-landlords solicitor (for deposit)
Send back tax disc for old car and do that online if I can
Write letter to council about random CC payments I can''t remember which are off three times earlier in the year.

Aside eating out of the cupboards and being a good lass today. I think that's me!

Mutters to self. It was worth it. It was worth it.

hi, glad it was worth it lol I can just imagine you actually laying down.

You probably won't appreciate this but if you've ever watched the Wartime Farm series which has been on tv of late i always imagine the lady on there as being very similar to yourself. Not sure it's a compliment or not but she always seems to be up for a challenge and a laugh and gets stuck in with her favourite subjects.

am sure it most definitely was worth it x
