I am now exhausted by reading about how much you get done bob! Still don't know how you do it all!
Re the money left on the supermarket shelf - I read an article once about a man who used to leave his loose change dotted about outside for people to find. He said it changed his own financial karma in a positive way! Do you think it was him?Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

Well done on the weekend news! I never find money, so either you're very lucky or I walk around with my eyes close.

Just popping in to say a quick Hello Bob,
Sounds like things going well with debt busting and wealth findings:j
Long may it continue!
Love the sound of your relaxing weekend, weekend classes were always a pain and really cut into time with family.

Hi Guys
Just a quick update. So tired today. As well as DDs cold keeping us awake, at 4am everything fell off the draining board and nearly terrified us to death. I had washed the oven top coverings which are iron and they were propped up behind the taps and they fell over too. OH went down to investigate, the washing up liquid had been decapitated and was all over the floor....We suspect a mouse was the culprit...
Took me over an hour to get back to sleep. Not ideal.
Wealth
* Checked banking and queried a missing amount.
* Found 2p roadkill.
* Phone enquiry from a really nice person looking for a family celebration venue. Hope she books. Always better having lovely customers
Health
* Pretty darn tired. And a tad grumpy. Hoping my long walk to school soon will perk me up. Speaking of which must get ready soon.
Organisation
* Checked business banking and wrote out neatly again what's due in and when. Not very high tech but I find it a very useful exercise. It really helps to know your figures.
* Sent a thank you message to the person who hosted the party our son went to yesterday.
* Made leek & potato soup for tonight's dinner. It tastes lovely.
* Did some food shopping. Bought a wholemeal farmhouse loaf to go with the soup.
* Made a flask of tea to take on the school run for added perkiness
That's it for now.

Well I can relate to your bad night Bob, my night on Saturday sounds similar although my DH was the culprit not a mouse! You've been busy today, well done on your achievements xxMummytogirls x0
