Spent the evening doing surveys and things. Back on the decorating tomorrow night though.
Just having a brew then heading to bed. Early morning for the boiler man coming and then food shop. Also need to go to the uniform shop for youngests uniform and hope they have the smaller sizes in. They only stock age 4 upwards and I've been waiting over 7 weeks for smaller :eek: I'm starting to panic it won't be here for the start of school!0 -

Morning, Hidden. I was going to say the debt is coming down slowly but surely but, given your circumstances, it's coming down amazingly quickly and the figures don't show all the marvellous progress you've made in other ways (gas, electricity, new cooker etc and now you're decorating). Sit down and think where you were a few months ago and where you are now and then give yourself an enormous pat on the back. Really well done. I'm full of admiration.
Hope everything goes well today.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.0 -
