Need to get myself together: The beginning

monz

Payday tomorrow finally! Meaning soon will have paid off my mum and dad another 350 towards so next month will be half way paid off.

My sons birthday presents are wrapped up and ready to go for 6 November and can start his Christmas presents this weekend with this pay. Hoping this month and October wages will complete his Xmas and the rest are getting small gifts etc. Meaning November is my wage and will be getting bits and bobs I forget and for the house xx

You're so organised on the presents front Monz! Well done you!

What's the wee guy after for Christmas? My eldest is 6 just before Christmas and I've been picking up bits for him but this year I know he'll be specific on what he asks for so don't want to go all-in too early! My youngest is much easier as he'd be delighted with anything and I know what he likes.

You're doing so well paying off your mum and dad too - that'll be a weight off when that's cleared.

Go you with being super organised for Xmas

My youngest who is five wants a headset for his Xbox to match his big brother........that's all he's asked for and my oldest son wants a guitar so will keep my eyes peeled for any bargains

What do you intend to do with the extra money are you've paid off mum and dad xx

monz

my boy wants the VR for PS4 and its on offer the now with mover stuff £229 so gonna get it today xx

Yeah, you're right. Grab stuff while it's on offer!

I picked up an Argos book so my eldest can at least start making noise about what he'd like. This morning he told me he'd like clip on sunglasses for his holidays... bless his heart. I think he felt left out when the three of us were wearing sunglasses on holiday and he couldn't because of his glasses (we wear contacts when wearing shades and his brother doesn't need glasses...yet).

Vegas sounds exciting! When are you planning to go?

Hi hun,

You're doing great, I haven't even started on Christmas yet.

Well done on the parent loan, so close to clearing it :j xx

monz

Thank goodness its Friday.

My mum and dad have their money so now its nearly halfway there paid off!! Woo will be halfway there end of October !

Tomorrow got work but also its a drinking day its free bar at my work, double act drag show and also free buffet :P.... I feel ok for working it

Next Tuesday I will be collecting my boys main birthday present of VR kit with motion movers and a game with it for £229!! But this is his main and will get other things also but no where near that price! So October will get other peoples gifts and his final gifts in November so December wage I will not touch !

My boy had his parents night last night and I was very worried to say the least but it was an amazing report. He is top of his class and how everyone just loves him and how talkative he is and friendly.... I am so proud of him considering not two years ago they were "worried" and asking about getting additional help and says they thought he had social development problems.... So glad I argued for him and did not let them win as he has proven them all wrong xx

27 days until payday
