  • Been and picked up the bowls from Mr T, spent a bit on bread and tights! Both littlies spent the last of their Christmas money!

    We will be hermits for the next 2 weeks until DH gets paid, have two outings planned for the weekends, but that will be using our annual passes so so cost except fuel which is budgeted for.

  • Fantastic news DFOD.x.
  • Bit of a lazy weekend, but needed before the mania of full routine again starts tomorrow.

    Sold another item on bookface I think, collecting on Tuesday, so will update my figures then.

  • Seriously need payday to come, will be limping through I reckon for the next 15 days. DH's car needs a new tyre and oil change so that's £70 not budgeted for. The EF will start once this blasted CC is gone.

    Extra child benefit payment this month and no Council tax to pay for 2 months so that is an extra £437 to get thrown at the CC before I even make any other payments, so I reckon we are looking at end of March before it's gone - that's the target to debt freeness!

    Will just throw everything at it until then. Likely to hit payout on 1poll during that time. Pbase is being rubbish, I keep getting selected for quality control, I put my DOB in one survey this morning and got selected for quality control, my relationship with that survey site may be coming to an end.

    happy Monday all!

  • £1.50 into the 50p pot from someone giving me back money I'd lent them.

    No surveys at all last night.

    Can't even bring myself to log on to the CC, know we are sooo close to the limit. DH has a new phone finally delivered, so we will have £50 back from that when we recycle the old one plus another £3.33 cashback.

    Money is all due to come in, but I could do with it coming in now!

  • Well the issues with DS and School rear their head again. Cutting a very long story short, we will be home educating them soon. Life changing stuff, massive financial impact as I will need to stop working - but as a family we cannot continue like this. Hugely disappointed in an education system that does so little to support those who need it the most.

    Needless to say it's been a tough week. Onwards and upwards though....
