Council tax paid til errrm oh eck payment due :eek:

Car
Mot done til Oct 2016
Tax done til Feb 2016
Ins done til Oct 2016

:rotfl: job done happy days :T

That's not a budget though is it? :rotfl:

Its more of a january will soon be here and I will be in the pooh pooh and sticking it on cc again :embarasse

Oh okay I will have another go this won't meet mse standards

misspickle_2

Awwww do I really have to do a budget can't I just stay in my little bubble and eat cake and drink tea with you all :j that sounds nice

I might get run over by a bus before January and then I'd have done all that fussing about money for nothing
It happens!!! Its not unheard of!
Its Devon though :think: buses are a rare vision. I'd prob have to wait four hours for one and then throw myself under it to have any real impact :undecided

I'm a bit of an idiot really

Ten years ago when I left my partner I had nothing. I'd gone from a good well paid job and a jointly owned and paid for home to nothing overnight. Throw a six year old child into the mix and ...
When I was with dds dad I was working 45 or more hours a week, as a freelance horse groom and dog groomer. I was out the house at 5.45 a.m every morning seven days a week, plus I did all of the housework, gardening, cooking, looking after my child every second I didn't work.
I never took a penny of the house when I left. He kept the lot along with his new gf who ten years on does nothing for him she doesn't cook for him or garden or make him lunches or work and he moans to me about this every month :rotfl:
Money really isn't everything. He drives round in his Lexus and his flash sunglasses with his pilots license and his fishing trips in France, but he ain't happy.
I ain't got a pot to pee in but I now got a teen dd who loves me very much. Which is more than I can say for him
We are off to aqua tonight :eek:
