Enjoying the Sunshine whilst Saving for the Rainy Day

I went and sat with DD for the last half hour she was fine though she was playing with one of the youth club workers £1 well spent

Dh has been bugging me to go to his mum's house! So she called me in the end and I've arranged to go on Wednesday and stay over until Thursday. Kids want to go trick or treating so will have to get back in time for that. Can feel a headache coming already at the stress

I've had cupboard fixed today no cost to me and thankfully I was first on his list because as soon as he got here his office was calling telling him all his appointments have been cancelled so he could go fix fences that had blown away! He did my cupboard first though so no need to rebook thankfully

Last bill of the month paid so anything in bank can be used for trip to Mil now! Will try and get as much washing done as possible as I think all our jumpers are in there. I've been forewarned it's cold there!

As for vsnquis well I've received my confirmation today that my debt is settled (about time! ) but nothing for hubbys account yet? There must be something wrong?? Wouldn't mind but it was our smallest debt for less than £200

Just checked my emails and I've a date to start my homestart course! It's next week! Hopefully it's easy to find as it's the other side of town to us and down a back street (and I'm renowned for getting lost ) looking forward to it though

We don't have access to online accounts when we entered into the dmp all the online accounts were unavailable to us from all creditors. Will wait to see if they send him letter? Very confusing though :think:

We survived! Hallelujah! My car got the worst damage - a huge tree snapped literally down the middle and branches blew all over the place- one under / tangled in my car. Garden looks the same (shame...) no damage though really, lots of fallen trees and trampolines in middle of roads though ( see the kids must have known so put loads of carp all over ours as added weight and ours is one of the only ones to stay put )

There are loads of pictures on Facebook of flying trampolines - not sure why people did not secure them?!?! (I don't mean yours as yours was weighted down:rotfl:) Just wondering what would happen if they did severe damage - would insurance pay out?

Woo hoo - how exciting!!
I think you need to drive over there before next week and take a walk around so you find it. |Nothing worse than worrying and panicing on your first day and arriving hot and sweaty!!

I've got a debt-free badge

You too Kerri!!:T

:j

As for flying trampolines- a 10ft one flew over the fence and hit my friend's car she called insurance and apparently you have to pay for excess but it won't put your premium up next year. I would be banging on the door that owned the trampoline for that too! Mine didn't have a lot of weight on but that small extra (thanks kids! ) really helped

Is weather calmer today ? Glad DD was fine at club. Think its us parents that panic more. Children are quite resilient aren't they.:)
Oh and well done on the badge.

I totally missed the homestart comment, yay congratulations that's quite exciting.

I used to work in insurance, they say that it won't put the premium up... but it does as it makes you more of a risk than someone who didn't have a trampoline fly into them. Not that you're a worse driver, but that you're more likely to make a claim and cost them money. Bit rude really, but it's just the way it is.
