    Hey.

    My couch is here and its sooo pretty. Honestly I am in love :D!!! Now going to start saving for fence round my garden as its rotting away, after paying off for my sisters 40th present :D!

    Enjoyed my 2 weeks off, did not really do much just enjoyed resting and not having to rush around with my son spending time with him :)

    Going to pay off more to my overdraft did not spend as much as I thought I would so down to £450 :). End of the month will be £400. Aiming paid off by Christmas

    Hope you are all well. Off to do a catch up aka Nosey :D

    Going on my lunch to bank and gonna actually put my overdraft down to £400! Bite the bullet I can manage I get paid next week :)

    Then next week reduce to £325, by August wage will be 250 and then see from there :)

    Soon will be starting my sons birthday planning. He literally does not know what he wants. I will get him a hoverboard and hoverscateboard. No idea what else, he has everything. I asked my mum to get him the new TKD outfit since he took a stretch and can see his ankles in his current one lol! They cost blinking £52 so be big help :D. Also need to get him a TKD bag, they cost £30. Saw a deal on groupon £100 for Rize which is like Flipout so probably book that. I try do something different every year :) xx

    Thank you :)!

    One week today is payday. Also ordered my younger sisters birthday present from superdry, a hoodie down to 25 pounds :D! End of August my sisters 40th present will be paid for and hoping my overdraft will be down to 250 :)

    Not started on my fence fund but will soon and when paid will start on my sons 9th birthday shopping etc. Started making a list and put money aside for his party. Everything is money money money these days or is that just me :( xx

    Definitely not just you, Monz. I feel like it's a never ending cycle of paying money out for things. I'd like to be able to actually put money in savings and not having to take it out at some point!
