  • :hello: Hi all

    Pay day tomorrow:T

    Need to get up early to check accounts and to check that all DDs are paid. Then onto shifting what's left around in order to meet my snowball payments within the next week or so.

    OH has has a few bruises from a slip at work. Needs 2 weeks off (apparently) Which means no pay for him :mad: Sorry for the lack of sympathy but from where I'm standing he seems fine and hasn't moaned once.

    OMG does that make me sound awful? :o

    Anyway I will just have to manage financially I suppose. Super cut backs ahead I think.

    I hope everyone is well

    Hello :hello:

    No, not awful :) Hope the patient is better very soon :cool:

    Hope you are well and yay for payday tomorrow :):)
  • Thanks Bear

    Just feeling a little :( and :mad: tonight

    One step forward and 2 steps back. I know its very selfish of me to think like that but OH has been fine to go out today and has not moaned once about any pain.

    Also where he gets paid weekly it will totally muck my budgeting and finances etc up.

    I'm panicking already :o

  • Must remember this :)


    When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
    When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
    When funds are low and the debts are high,
    And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
    When care is pressing you down a bit,
    Rest if you must, but don't you quit.


    Success is failure turned inside out -
    The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
    And you never can tell how close you are -
    It may be near when it seems afar;
    So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
    It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

    Have a dodgy hug :grouphug:

    It's not selfish. Do you think he just wants some time off work and hasn't thought about the consequences?

    If you haven't already have a look/re-do your budget. Then you'll know where you are and what you need to do.

    Here if I can help with anything :)

    Thanks for the hug Bear and the offer of support. Much appreciated really :A

    I do think its just some time off yes. Knowing him as always, money is easy come, easy go. I did ask him to take some holidays so he would still be paid. (what do I know) On the plus side he has not been back on the beer so a bonus there.

    I suppose I am just grouchy and tired. Works been so hectic lately and I felt things were going smoothly.

    Maybe just a setback I suppose its to be expected when we have such a journey ahead.


    I will chat to him Tomorrow when hopefully I am a little less stressed.

    Just a teeny tiny setback. Take care :A

    Hi all

    Feeling a lot happier tonight

    :T OH has returned to work. It seems he wasn't as ill as he thought :rotfl:

    He managed to get bored whilst being at home and suddenly made a full recovery.

    I have paid CC number 2 for the month. This one with a big overpayment :D This one always cheers me up. Not that I've had to pay it but its my target one and I like seeing the balance coming down. I plan to add little bits and pieces to this card throughout the month also. Fingers crossed it will be under the 8k next month

    Work is still hectic and I have a cold now :mad: I cant be doing with snotty noses and feeling like someone is sitting on my head but its Friday tomorrow :T

    I am planning a relaxing weekend and hope I manage to get one.
    I hope everyone is well
