Hi all,

Thanks for your messages....I have been a bit slack!

Things are okay...I have run out of money and have a trip to Manchester this weekend so hoping not so spend too much on cc.

The bad news (but not too bad) is that our debt free date may be a month delayed. We desperately need a new washing machine so the plan was the payday after debt freedom we were going to buy a washing machine and fridge freezer. However the one we want is on a cash back deal until the end of the month. This week our current machine has made yet another hole in an item of clothing and our washing just doesn't smell very nice anymore So if we buy this one now it just means debt freedom is one month later.....still deciding!

To save a bit of money I have decided not to send the kids to paid for childcare as much as I was going to at a cost of £38 a day for both. MIL is at home so will have them more days a week but I was trying to avoid it a bit as the kids just sit on the sofa watching television and I don't want that for them. I was trying to do it that she had them one day a week instead of the three but I may have to ask her to do 2 some weeks. This will save some pennies!

Off to work on a gloomy morning..... Will catch up later

Go for WM I think.
2 days with MIL sounds ok.
