    Morning

    The sun is shining here today - I hope it lasts as feel we don't see much of it at the moment.
    I have a few house jobs to do that I keep putting off so trying to motivate myself to get those done

    Today is also my parents 40th wedding anniversary and I have arranged a surprise for them. They don't know yet and I'm looking forward to telling them later as I've had to keep it a secret for a year! :T

    Have a super Sunday :)

    Car Insurance Carver!
    I also love updating the spreadsheets (house account based on any overtime from hubby and the mortgage OP one!) and I love moving my money around to where it needs to go! Best part of payday! Frustrated as having the 1st today means all the accounts aren't updated until at least tomorrow or Tuesday and I want to see my mortgage balance!!

    Sounds like your doing brilliantly!

    Jodles :D

    Lovely, 40 years is a real achievement. I remember my Grandparents' 50th anniversary with great pleasure, it was a lovely family day.

    Good evening

    I ended up on a last minute stand-in evening out for work last night. Although it was just a few drinks, socialising and a meal - it's not quite the same as being at home relaxing away from work. So feeling a bit weary tonight.

    Regular monthly OP has gone out
    I have also OP'd the amount that I would have paid on CT if there was a payment this month
    Just claimed a small cashback amount of £1.58 which will be paid across too once received.

    I'm off to veg on the sofa. Have a lovely evening :)

    :j yay for reaching the weekend :j

    Sadly no OP news...although I am waiting for a £co payment to drop into my account. I had notification that it's been paid but no sign as yet!

    Morning

    I feel much better today after a lovely lie in :p

    The cashback I was waiting for has come in so duly OP'd. I've also claimed a £10 Am@zon voucher for a survey payment

    I don't have any major plans for today - usual house jobs, etc and plenty of relaxation ;)

    Happy Saturday!

    :)
