    We're a day short! We break up on a Thursday and go back on a Thursday. I feel robbed!

    I can't work out where it's been added to somewhere else either? Meh.

    The days are absolutely flying by at the moment - can't believe it's almost the end of June already :eek:

    As it's payday tomorrow I've had a quick look at the accounts tonight and it all looks good :) I'll do a proper account shuffle tomorrow when the monies are in - is it sad that it's my favourite day of the month? :o

    Had some lovely bread with tea tonight - pumpkin and cranberry from Mr Ms - wish I could work out how to make it! I haven't made any bread in ages, despite it being on my aims for 2014. Oops.

    Not sad at all, I love shuffle day!

    Our money comes in from 4 different sources over the course of a week, and I like to wait for the credit card bills to come in before I finalise the shuffle. I feel really satisfied when another month is done.

    Another loving money shuffle day here :dance::dance::dance: :dance::dance::dance:.

    My pay day is Thursday but it's usually in late the night before so this time tomorrow I'll be obsessively refreshing the online bank account :rotfl:.

    It's payday :j :j

    Done all the account shuffles and monies to various places - June has been pretty good for us :) I'll do a proper numbers update at the end of the month, but due to us not spending as much as we have done previously, our savings number is much better :) more where it should be! :D

    Right, quick post but I want to watch the tennis and I should probably make tea at some point.... :p

    It's the weekend :j :j

    I'm about to make a list to go to Mr Ms for our shopping - the cupboards are looking a bit bare! I'm lacking inspiration for meals at the moment which is a bit frustrating, but oh well. Think I might have a look through some cooking books this afternoon too.

    We're going out for tea tonight - DH's Uncle and Aunty are taking us - and we're going to quite a posh place, which I'm looking forward to :D it's definitely out of our price range so going to make the most of it! DH's Uncle and Aunty are quite well off but are also generous when taking us out and where we go, which is lovely - it'll be a nice evening out and a treat too :)

    Right, I need to do some housework - the fun never stops here! :p
