  • Evening everyone!

    Very, very late input from me but I've been so run off my feet this full weekend sorting things out.

    We've recently purchased our first house so although I am trying my hardest to bust my debt I really do sometimes need to spend some cash, especially because it's a new-build so it's basically a shell.

    Today I have been up and moved a couch-bed with my friend who gave me a hand. When we were moving it upstairs however the couch bed mechanism unfolded rather dramatically a few times and I now have some nice holes in the wall to fill with polyfiller! OH is freaking out, don't think she realises how minor a problem it is lol
    Went from there to a few shops to locate some nice (and cheap-ish) light fittings.

    That's me just been and lifted the money for the childminder and OH's brother's birthday which is tomorrow.

    Payday on Friday so really looking forward to that:)

    Take care all
