In fact my tea levels are very low and a council worker would be embarrassed by it!

:mad: What a slur on council workers! When I worked for the council........ oh dear.......... fair point well made :rotfl::D;).

Have a great time

Have a great week in the caravan, best childhood memories are made on those holidays. Mine want to go back but I've now got accustomed to the all inclusive type of break.

Although I did have a cheeky google for some last minute weekend breaks at h@ven earlier!

Well we're back, unpacked and pretty much all washing done (though i cant claim any credit for that). Have to say we had a great weekend despite the heavy downpours, and we're all thoroughly shattered. I cant say that we were particularly thrifty but we didnt go overboard either.

We managed to keep up with baby SJ's nighttime regime which was good as well.

Pleased to see that may tax code adjustment has worked so an extra £100 in current account to play with. I'm just going to leave our budget as it is for now though and see how if takes a few months to settle down (i think it should be £120 ish extra but the first month was a few days into it).

Back to work tomorrow and the start of big project ...

Happy to report that i've typed this on my new chromebook toy, so if there's any glaring mistakes blame it on the different key board!

A few days late to start the weekly TT's, but i'm off and running with 13p this morning. Payday was yesterday, so paying out day today & tomorrow.

Its getting to the exciting part of the month and i'm optimistic of an OP total of £560 that should nudge me £300 or so ahead of December target :j

Glad you had a good break SJ we're a bit like drowned rats here in Scotland. I might have to swim home! I'm coming to my end of month £1 a day TT and I'm hoping I can still make my £20 monthly goal. So our total OP is £95 a month....oh to have the cars paid off then we will be more like £600!!

SJ I've finally finished reading your diary. It's fantastic. Your figures and attacks are great. I'm so motivated now to attack the banks when I get my new mortgage. Many Thanks!
Glad you had a lovely holiday.

Don't get me started on cars... the problem is just when you finish paying for them they start coming up with problems and that money gets swallowed anyway. I just write off £125 a month for life for cars! As for TT's you may beat me as i reckon our monthly total will be about £18 (4 days of interest...).
