Hope is not an Effective Financial Strategy

Tjh1412

Inspired by how well you're doing Jimmy; after your help with the spreadsheet I'm now a fanatic myself and have just made a 32p TT for this morning, as I've figured this will save me £6.75 over the life of the mortgage:rotfl:

Your mother's day sound fab. Think I might re-create that scenario when I am a grandma. I am such a planner.

Hope you get your snooze.

Yes it sounds lovely, but I can't see me ever getting my grand cat, grand bunnies and grand chicks all in the same room at the same time. The rabbits would chase the chickens, the chickens would terrorise the cat and the cat would hide :rotfl:.

Cath - i would definitely recommend it. I finished off with a little dog walk for some fresh air at the end. Now enjoying the golf, thinking about bedtime!

Gally - Your scenario sounds brilliant though...no TV needed...

Quick post before bed. 19 items have been decluttered via ebay and will soon become someone else's clutter!! And we get paid 19 small fees for the pleasure...

£1 TT this morning in readiness for my crazy 1st week of 5! When everything that you do in work seems to come together in a perfect storm of a few weeks.... Well this is it. And i 'm dreading it figuring if i dread it, then it can't end up being as bad as i'm expecting....that's my twisted psychological preparations.

Next day is off is a week on Tuesday, i've got miles and miles to drive, loads of meetings, a conference and 4 days at a course....at some stage i need to fit in emails and dealing with actions from meetings. At least i can come up for air after Easter and we've got 3 days in the caravan before the are back in school to look forward to.

Hoping for a few NSD's this week to kick start our financial back on trackness.

Well done on the 19 items! Mothers Day sounds lovely, I'm sure they all had a good time.

Hope the five weeks will fly by...

Well day 1 negotiated. Was it as bad as feared..much worse! So am exhausted tonight. There is one shining light though as i've managed to go with a car share tomorrow for the 80mile trip to a pointless meeting, and i'm not the driver!!

Still at least i didnt spend any money.

It sounds utterly exhausting Jimmy, and I'm only reading about it. Well done on finding a lift to the meeting - will you catch up with work or sleep in the car?!
