  • First day done.. sigh - going to be a hard year with various things..

    Submitted meter reading yesterday and we are £750 in credit, but they haven't taken a bill payment for 6 months now.. still expect to be in credit given its the warmer months. Can't believe the rads will be back on soon.

    Off to get DS a haircut today and SJ has reminded me we must get them booked in at the dentists for a check up now the first tooth has gone. We did try around 2/3, but they were not good, so dentist said to leave it till milk teeth started falling out.

    Might have a wander round town whilst we are there, it's raining - due to be dry later

    Then it's off to karate club for both of them..

    Happy Friday all!..

  • How come are you so much in credit ? at least you are set for the winter :)

  • They set the amount which was roughly what we paid with the supplier, I reduced by £100 when I realised it was too much but figured it was worth getting in credit as I got in such a pickle with the last provider and it was all horrible!

    £5 reward into the bank account and I randomly sent it to the mortgage for a small OP.

    Haircut done, I tipped her £3 as she was so good with DS who doesn't enjoy his haircut and it's a relief when we get to the end before he has a meltdown mid haircut..

  • our eldest is very head sore and he has the thickest hair that i doubt he'll ever have a hair style! I did him a deal that if he let his mum do his hair (number 6 on top and 4 round back and sides) without complaining i'd pay him the money that we'd normally give to the barber!
    MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......

  • Saturday morning then..

    Off to see a friend later, but this morning I'll be pottering about, doing some baking and generally getting this house in some sort of order..

    Managed to pick up a late payment charge on one of my CC which is annoying as I had the money.. will argue the case with them as they can see I had money in my bank account..
