    Made a phone call to boss to tell her I wouldn't be returning to part time job I had recently started as it triggered off an old back injury. Dreading return call from her but now looking forward to sitting in garden and doing my hanging baskets. Happy Easter.

    Hmm...let me think...
    • 2 lovely pleasant (mostly) well behaved children
    • my lovely OH who works hard, is great company, is my best friend, a great Dad and has many other skills that can't be mentioned here on DFW!
    • Three more days of bank holiday to go
    • A further week off work after that
    • The sun is shining
    • We are substantially less in debt than this time last year
    • There is an ever growing chink of light at the end of the debt free tunnel
    • This site which has been a godsend, and eye opener, a bulb lighter and so much more...
    • Chocolate

    Because next week is my eldest's 8th birthday, and she thinks we're going out for the day when ACTUALLY we are going for a whole week (our first full week family holiday!) And because it is the 'Isle of Wight' they get to go on a ferry, and we can make like we're going abroad!

    And on Monday I am finally doing a Boot Sale, so more money towards those debts (and a very useful clear out too!)

    :j Cleaned last window that I didn't get to yesterday as spring cleaned every other room.

    :happyhear Spending £2.49 on a playball for my DD who is 19 months and hearing her squeal with delight whilst running around after it in the New Forest.

    :happyhear Same DD sleeping from 7.45 last night til 7.45 this morning - bliss.

    :happyhear Knowledge I have a job now so can clear my debt so much quicker and it's all thanks to this site and all you lovely people

    :happyhear No more secrets between BF and I and we're much closer than before and it feels fab!! :j

    :happyhear The sun is shining and my family, friends and I are healthy

    So happy Easter to you all, enjoy the break (and chocolate) :easter: and a BIG thanks for everyone's support and advice.

    The sun is cracking the flags here. My washing's on the line. Two more lovely days off work to go, and the kids are off school for another week so the roads will be nice and quiet when I go back on Tuesday. Oh, and there's the prospect of a chocolate egg tomorrow :D.

    :j It's lovely and sunny here too!

    :( I'm spending the weekend decorating

    :j I'm off work for another 3 days - how I miss the M1 in a morning!

    :( I work through an agency, so don't get paid for Bank Holidays

    :j There's still money in the bank

    :j We go on holiday in May!

    :j There's food in the cupboards, petrol in the car and a happy mechanic (he's been paid in advance for only the second time ever!) currently fixing my brakes and when I get my car back I swear I'll never drive DH's car again!

    Happy Easter all

    Having a baby, sun's shining and things are looking up. Got nothing to be upset about really!
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!
