Thank you for all the birthday wishes, had a lovely weekend.. sun is shining today and washing is on, planning a much quieter day - we are all worn out!
Off to town in a minute to buy weedkiller and pick up something from argus, but have a £10 voucher to cover that.
Planning to go to the beach later for a little bit, but won't stay too long.
Feels like everything is getting back to normal now.. I'm back to work this week..
Just sent £200 to the CC, will update all totals in a few days when i've sent payments everywhere.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Well didn't make it to Argus or the beach, a friend has the thing I need from Argus and is giving it to me for free £10 saved towards Christmas.. And we ended up doing loads of stuff at home.
I've had a random tax credit payment into the account this morning, but we haven't had these for over a year now? Can only assume they've assessed last year and calculated we are owed a bit? It's £75 ish.. but don't want to send it to the debt unless I know it's defo ours.
Need to pop to work for a bit, post fleabay parcels and then see what else we can get up to.

My payday and the last day of my summer holidays. *sobs* Littlies still have another week!
Going to have a quiet morning at home and then I'm off to the flicks with the littlies.
I only have to go in tomorrow and then I'm off again till Monday so it's not all bad.. but I can't believe it's September tomorrow. I also have plans afoot.
Will send off pennies to the CC's today or tomorrow and then wait for the totals to update.
£11.30 cleared in p-base, so requested that payment to the bank account.
