Apple muncher's number crunching

greent

If she's fallen back of to sleep that quickly my guess is she needs the day off - hopefully she'll be fighting fit soon x

Hope dd has had a good sleep and wakes restored

Thank youboth. I went upstairs at 10ish and she was awake, so she got up. She has pottered around all day - and had the sort of day that she probably should have had yesterday. And she is much better, though not yet up to speed as regards eating.

I managed to do bunny slope 8 - they are definitely getting harder.

Presents are almost all wrapped - except dd and dh's and a few teacher plants.

My5 has a gazillion back-to-back strongman episodes on from 2008 - I get to see Mariusz Pudz - yay! And knit while watching. Bliss.

I do not need to see the dentist - yet - as I manage to persuade the abscess to give up some of its green goo. A relief.

Lots of baking has been done - choc chip vanilla muffins and cherry bakewells for dd. All safe. No milk ladder - not worth it at the mo.

Am v glad that I made the effort to go in to work last Friday.

Hope dd feeling much better. I think the end of term exhaustion affects the children as much as us. Envious that your presents are almost all wrapped, I'm yet to start!

Dd went in today and had a good day.

I had a good counselling session, and did a good aldee shop with dh. We bought our chicken for cmas dinner.

I have done bunny slope 9, using 3k dumbells. It was hard work, so seems to be at the right level for me for now.

After reading other peoples' threads, I am considering things like fugaldom's 2018 challenge, payoffallyourdebtsbycmas18, or the 1% challenge. If mum's house sells, we are laughing all the way to the bank. But it may take aaages so I need to have a plan of action.

My income is fixed but dh's is erratic.

We are off to Oz in the summer for 4 weeks - paid for with savings, but that means we are no longer mortgage neutral and are having to pay interest again. It was all of £1.43 this month :eek:. I don't like it! And we have yet to buy the flights...

So, plenty to ponder. Goals to set. A possible return to Health, Wealth and a Life Well Lived.

But first, some hefty money-out transactions to survive: teeth and counselling bills.

Ooh. Just been playing with the calculator.

27,295 - mortgage at the start of 2017
-23, 233 - mortgage at the mo
=4052 paid off.
I Have reached my MFW target for the year. :j

I have re-realised that I do not really need to worry about dh buying 'stuff' needlessly. I realise that he has a need to go round the shops from time to time. But that is usually the £-style places. Today he bought a Biggles style flying hat for a posh friend who has recently treated himself to a leather flying-jacket coat. Dh found it in the £ shop! He has also dug out his own beloved white scarf and is washing it. And he is currently fashioning some goggles out of goodness knows what. Go dh!

I had a meander round a handful of ch shops today. Spent 1.50 on 3 books, 50p on a beautiful hanging snowman for dd with her initial on it, 2.00 Sally Army credit on a running gilet (I live in hope...) and jeans for me, 75p on a plump cushion inner.

All friends' presents are wrapped and ready to go (minus the scarf and goggles). Dd's and dh's are also done - I didn't think I'd necessarily feel like wrapping stuff once I've had my extraction tomorrow...

Bunny slope 10 is done. Again, I don't expect to do any more for a while after tomorrow...

Dd finishes school today. She is sooo ready for it.

Good luck for tomorrow - I hope that the extraction is quick and the pain relief plentiful xxx

Thank you MWC x

Having paid in £40 of coins today, I have 696 in my ca. I also have of 690 to come out this month. Have talked to dh and will transfer some pennies over from our joint account, just in case I have my figures wrong...

Another wish that tomorrow's extraction goes as well as it possibly can xx
