    Great weekend, back to work with a bump! Spent a lot, but not extortionate and now onto DS1 birthday tomorrow...more spendings!

    End of the month looms large which is exciting as it means accounts posting, and brick colouring. Just need to do some accounts tonight to make sure all cash in the place it needs to be. Hoping to be over £700 OP total for Jan.

  • That's wonderful, well done! That last 100k will be gone in no time.
  • A fantastic month. Even more fantastic when you factor in its January, we had 6 family brithdays including 2 of our own kids, and an away weekend for a wedding.
