    It's my favourite :o I rarely eat the snacks but I just can't keep out of it :rotfl:
  • 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!
  • Morning HI,

    Hope the boiler man turns up and you've hot water again.

    Good luck with the uniform shopping, I've got ours to finish off.

    Hope the appointment goes ok today :)

    Just wanted to say wow Hidden you are doing amazingly - storming on with decorating, looking after things for your parents, and making payments. Inspirational. Crap situation with his debt but can understand you needing to pay it for now. Hope it can be sorted soon.

    August goals

    Money
    £100 to council tax - £40/100
    £100 Groceries - £51.35/£100
    £100 to other debt £35/£100
    Buy uniforms - expensive :( :cool: Yep expensive.

    I want to hit £1000 paid of the debt before the end of the month :cool: not including the rent arrears. Maybe aim high and say a goal of £1500 paid off including rent arrears probably won't make that though.

    Make £5 a day £40/£155

    Have 10 free days out 3/10
    Library 6 times for the school challenge 2/6

    11 Items on eBay 6 with bids :T

    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.
