Budget Wars - A New Hope (with apologies to George Lucas)

NoOneAround

Bob, just stumbled across this as I was about to shut down
Wishing you the best of luck with your new venture, it sounds like a really great start already - hope the enquiries keep flooding in thick and fast.

I loved holding DD and DS sleeping on me, has to be one of the nicest feelings in the world, the sort of feeling when you just want time to stop so you can feel like that forever:)

All sounding good Bob, how great to think of such a variety of uses for your space.

Baby snoozing sounds lovely, my trouble was dozing off with them!

Hope you get the mortagage fee sorted in your favour.

Thanks everyone. Hope you all have a good day

Hi Bob,

Just found your diary. The business sounds exciting. Me and hubby both have our own business and paying off debt whilst keeping our heads above water has been tough. Ive started posting on my diary again. Look forward to reading your journey Julie x

I am always amazed at your energy, and how much you get done bob!

Apple if you saw me right now you'd take that back I tell you im a broken woman.

Catalogue of woes today.
1. DS nearly knocked DD out of her buggy...and she wasnt clipped in at the time...
2. DD knocked over the cats water then crawled all through the mess
3. DS managed to kick over a cup of just made coffee whilst kneeling down, thank goodness he was wearing trousers not shorts. This in turn soaked his trousers and my entire rucksack that was lying near by.

I declare wine o'clock!!!

Thank you I do feel excited. And scared a bit. As you do. Is the business a joint business or are you both working on your own ventures? I will look for your diary now too.

Thanks Huggle. Ha ha I would love a snooze right now

I think I managed to sort the fee situation thanks for asking.

Good evening

Well. Highlights of the day
1. Spoke to mortgage lender. The £2.5k early repayment penalty can be avoided if we defer completion till August 1st. Have to then just hope we can get it all sorted before the 6th when our regular payment goes out. Which this month if we didnt move it would be going up from £668 to £968!! Instead of down to £300 & something.
2. Decided to spend £15 on boosting a fb post for the new business. It has gathered quite a lot of looks by the analytics they provide. But it waa a general awareness post not a call to action particulalrly.
3. Recieved and responded to 1 party booking enquiry via the old business.
4. Have had one street food provider get in touch from a free local forum ad for an event in late september. Told him I'd have to speak to him in the morning when DH works from home and can baby wrangle.

Apart from that it was a little fraught at times today (see reply to Apple for full woe catalogue) & I may well need a glass of something cold.

Night all
Bob
