    Hi debtaghh and all

    No I still haven't booked anything. I managed to resist and have definitely talked myself out of it. So glad I've got out of the mindset of book it on the spur of the moment and hope for the best. I spent the weekend pottering around the garden and generally tidying. I did my pots as Asda have 3 trays of plants for a fiver. Just adding some colour to the garden has brightened it up loads. Although I'm not too good with flowers so we will see how they go :o

    Another round of payments made this month and looking forward to DHs full month wages as we will be able to save some of it and will finally feel like we have put the debt wagon back on the rails.

    Have also been watching Love Island :mad: It winds me up massively but I feel I have to watch to see what happens next. What an exciting life I lead :rotfl:

    Today DH had his first full months wages :). We have distributed it between accounts so Xmas car F&F Bills and EF accounts have all been fed and topped up. It's a nice feeling that things are getting back on track and moving in the right direction again God willing will continue like that.

    And it's the weekend yaaaaay :j

    Grocery shopping done and a nice relaxing weekend is planned. Other than housework which I plan to do early tomorrow and hopefully spend some time in the garden as the weather is supposed to be beautiful tomorrow. So a coffee and a chill out in the sun will be gratefully received thank you :p

    Hope you all get some lovely sunny weather tomorrow too.

    Thanks Cherry

    I was up super early this morning and already the sun is shining. Feeling ‘motivated’ again :)

    Also DS gave me a scratch card that he’d won £5 on. I swapped it for another yesterday and now won £35 :beer: I said half each? he said no mum you keep it :o

    Have a lovely day all

    How lovely!

    We have sunshine too, it's such a game changer. I can do anything when the sun is shining! (Well, more than usual :D ).

    Have a lovely weekend.
