Happy July all
.
Major panic that I won’t have enough money to cover the bills. Sorted out a ring I’d been holding on to but wasn’t wearing as it had lost a couple of stones. Sold it for £35 so that helped. I also transferred a massive £1.92 from T0pc@shback which will be in my bank in a couple of days. Will do the bootsale I’ve been wanting to do for ages at the weekend too, but after that I’m out of ideas. Hopefully that will cover it.

Limped financially through the week. My amazing Sister sent me £10 so I could get a few bits and pieces, and when I told my Chub club Consultant that I’d have to stop going to class until I could afford it again, she insisted on paying for 6 weeks for me :A. She is a friend as well as the consultant, and I help her out in class, but I never expected that. There are some wonderful people in this world.
DH’s Hunks in Trunks feature is out, but still no cheque. Apparently it can take 6 weeks.
DS2 won a massive chocolate cake in his school raffle :rotfl:.
DS1 has smashed the screen on his phone :mad:. As if he hasn’t cost me enough recently. It will have to wait, I really, really can’t afford it at the moment.
DH has been a bit wavy the last 2 days. He forgot the dog’s name and how to use his phone this morning :eek:.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Thanks ladies Xx
DH has been better today, just one incidence of blankness. Had a quiet day, DS2 went to a friend’s garden for a water fight, DS1 has only emerged from his room for food, and DH and I have been between the garden and watching the football. We don’t normally bother with it, but I have to say it was a good match.
All sorted for bootsale tomorrow. Had a sale on eBay today too so another £8 towards the mortgage payment.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
