August goals

Money
£100 to council tax - £60/100
£100 Groceries - £51.35/£100
£100 to other debt £80/£100
Buy uniforms - expensive :cool: Yep expensive. Just shoes left

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 £207.58/£155

Have 10 free days out 6/10
Library 6 times for the school challenge 4/6

10 Items on eBay 9 with bids :T

Hope your sisters ok, hidden! I hate that I'm becoming jaded to news of terrorist attacks but I am. It's devastating that nobody can go to a city in Europe without having that niggling fear at the back of the head.

Morning HI,

You're doing really well.

Yay to the water coming back on but boo to the yukky colour, hopefully they'll sort it out properly today.

Have a lovely day x

Toni'sfriend

Water will probably sort itself out but I wouldn't drink it either. Really well done on the debt busting. I don't know how you manage it.

We have a tanker now at the end of the road to fill up from! I have plenty of bottled though so don't need to use it yet.

The videos of the leak online are awful (I keep logging in my mums FB to see what's happening with the leak and with my sister!) My sisters in Salou so should be fine its 15-20 mins away from the 2nd incident but her OH's family where caught in the incident in Barcelona but uninjured thankfully.

Hidden, I work in the area affected , our water is still discoloured am sure it will run clear soon, still wouldn't drink it though.

I like your menu plan .

Enjoy a nice day with the children after your training .

Im assuming you work in the postcodes M? I'm in B. I didn't realise just how far it caused chaos. The police are there now with the roads still closed off. Hopefully be sorted today they think though.
