Should have tried getting a loan instead

If I could lend you the money myself, I would do. I'm sure you'll be rid of it well before March xx

I totally understand you wanting to pay off their loan as soon as you can, I would want to too. But please try to get an emergency fund in place before you overpay them. That way you will never ever have to go to them again. Even when the loan is repaid they are still going to criticise how you spend your money, they won't be able to help themselves.

I am putting 25 a month aside for emergencys I have 100 so far also. Wont tell her that though!

Did no stripping walls last night had two nights break :P but did get my boys school shoes from EK nike retail 20 all he needs is that mop of his hair cut and indoor shoes from Asda. Back a week today woo!

Glad that you've got your emergency fund started, it'll soon build up.

It's good that you've had a break, you don't want to burn yourself out, your house will be sorted in no time at this rate

Thanks PMO2. Last night was working hard again in my boys room, think I will have all his room stripped and laminate flooring off his walls (yup they are on the walls and replaced the window cill.... Tonight my plans are finish stripping wallpaper off and my room, means I can paint mine tomorrow and thats my room decorated also. Then tomorrow invest in a hammer and use the claw to get off the laminate from wall.

Plasterer is due to come out next Wednesday and got one visiting Monday to price my boys room (will not be booking its so I know the price to save for !)

20 days until payday. VO is at £1.40. Will try do some OP as well as PA as normal lol

Morning.

At the weekend I managed to get 90% of the laminate off. I need a circular saw for part of it as previous owners slid it under the wall... nothing comes easy in this house eh lol! Plasterer says will cost approx £250 to fix my boys room. Will try my best but most likely this will be in 2019 (early)

I got the fablon on my kitchen units, ran out of fablon so I ordered another roll , so my kitchen will be fully decorated this week (if it arrives on time). My sister still to bring over dining table set they said they would give me in june lol.

Plasterer is coming out Wednesday for livingroom woo! Finally ! Started stripping wallpaper in my room, thought it would be easy but nope! Will need lining paper and then can paint.... no clue how to do this but I am sure I will learn fast enough :P!

I went out Saturday for a cpl drinks, I had cabin fever and was sick of the house. Was home for half 10

Hope all is well! Hurry up payday 17 days until payday xx
