Enjoying the Sunshine whilst Saving for the Rainy Day

Morning! Just a quick one as dh has the day off. He's being a misery guts and I've come downstairs to escaspe the bad mood! I've got him to call up his mobile provider and swap it from my name to his. He pays it, and it's out of contract now so we wanted to put it on his credit file rather than mine to help his measley 1/5 score! The electoral roll is not showing up on his yet either. I'm in the process of changing to married name and new address for my credit card that I mentioned before. Hopefully they won't change their minds
we'll soon find out!
Sun is shining so I'm going to take kids and dog out for a while for some fresh air and rays ...it's freezing though so lots of layers!

Must be the day for male grumps as my OH is in one too. I'm so glad he's going to work tonight so I don't have to listen to him grunting in obvious frustration about goodness knows what. He seemed to find me coming home from work too much to bare, rather than hello I had 'the look' and then took great affront at my flask being put in the sink to soak. Even sitting here now typing this in complete silence, he is deep sighing. Pr^t

:mad: men.
I've done loads of jobs today, not asked for a single bit of help and I had it thrown in face that I was being an unreasonable b1tch and he just wanted to have a lie in and f-ing relax. Ds2 kept him awake all night not me. I asked him to put the bins out this morning as it was his turn and that's all I asked all day and I've had him being grumpy. I'm ignoring it and have had a nice relaxing bath, read half a book as well as clean the kitchen, cook dinner and hang two more washes out mostly in the name of avoiding himmy Friday evening will be spent reading in my bed with the dog for company. I'm not complaining either!
:rotfl: I hope you have a lovely evening too once your grump has departed for work Granny xx

I agree i am sure they get PMT too
I am lucky (well kind of) at the moment i only see OH 1 day a week as he is working away from sun night to sat lunchtime. Even if he is in a sulk its only a pain for a few hours lol
Hope DS2 is on the mend and you have been able to enjoy the rest of half term. We were you way thursday as we went rollerskating. I was a little disappointed friend said only the kids were skatingNext time i am going to even if she doesnt

Afternoon, NSD finally :T However, I did have to transfer money to DH's account as he went overdrawn :mad:, he doesn't seem to get our credit history is already so awful and now for him to go and do this makes me fume! He's been OD for 2 weeks and didn't tell me!!!!!! So annoyed. I took the money from the emergency funds and put it straight into his account. I have asked him to transfer all his DD's to my account. I don't want to treat him like a child but really, he's an idiot. He's no idea about finances and drives me mad!!!!!
Anyway aside from that mess up i've had a productive day. It's sunny out again too so I hung the washing out again which makes me happy. Small things eh :rotfl:DH has concreted the dodgy patio which is always moving about :T (trying to make up for his c0ck up no doubt with OD )and we've walked dog and taken kids to a new park. I just need to do the ironing for Monday and most jobs are done for the weekendMortgage Overpayments 2024/25 - September-December, £152.46. J- £103.27, F- £115, M- £91.50, A- £100, M- £200, J- £200.

Well I've lost my bank card
I've looked everywhere! Will have to cancel it and order a new one. I've got DH to book tickets for the cinema tomorrow on his card (after I transferred the money over to his account ) and put enough in there for a fish'n'chip dinner after too. Tickets were £38 at the ode0n for 5 of us :eek::eek: and at this other place I found (albeit a 15 mile drive away) it's £19 (and this includes a booking charge!!!) so nearly £20 saved :money: so I thought I would treat the kids to a cheap dinner afterwards with the savings as i'd already budgeted for the treat :T also saves on cleaning :rotfl:. We had the roast dinner today instead and have nearly everything ready for school what isn't done I will do in the morning before cinema. I'm looking forward to it (lego movie) as it looks funny

ooh iceskating. not been since i was about 9. might stick to 4 wheels on each foot. Might be safer
dd2 was happy on carpet in her fisher price type skate, dd1 was wizzing round and very happy chasing her bf. ds however was clinging onto the sides for dear life. maybe next time he will get the hang of it. dd1 insisted on wearing her own skates which she insisted fitted her. blisters all over her feet that night. She learnt some valuable lessons! i am a mean mum
