Unfortunately I think she will be swapping him for a criminal record and a hefty repair bill. You can tell you are MSE when the first thing you think of is ‘how much will that cost??’.
I do feel sorry for her though, it’s an awful feeling and one I’m still not over 10 years later.Happy Sunday
You too Beanie. Enjoy! XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Yes I can understand the provocation but a more subtle (legal) form of revenge would be better.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

So a week has passed and finally my mood has taken a turn for the better. Genuinely think I’ve been depressed. I had no interest in anything at all
.
So we haven’t done much at all this Half Term. Feel a bit guilty, but the boys assure me it’s been what they wanted anyway. It’s been good for the budget if nothing else.
Washing machine arrived Friday night, so of course the weather has been pants since :rotfl:. At least I don’t have to keep making trips to Mum/MiL to do the essential washing. Hopefully I’ll be able to get the lid shut on the laundry box soon :eek:. It’s ridiculous how full it is.
DH turns 40 in less than 2 weeks, the same week as our wedding anniversary and Father’s Day. Months ago I had hoped we could have a cheap weekend away to celebrate, now I can barely afford a card. I was hoping to do a bootsale today to make some pennies, but it’s raining heavily. There is a mid week one which I might do, though it probably won’t be as busy.

Great idea from Beanie
You've got nearly 2 weeks to sort something out, even if it's just a small gift.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Yes that's a good idea from Beanie:). DH and I couldn't afford to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary properly (we managed a budget Chinese takeaway
) so I'd love to celebrate our 35th anniversary with a restaurant meal or even a weekend away. I need an anniversary pot now too!
A car boot sale is a good idea to raise cash.
