    Maybe I'll make these a little higher for repayments. Will work it out as no real income now till the 18th October :eek:

    No groceries added yet this week and probably won't be now until Monday. I only have child benefit now coming in between now and 18th October, then a date when Tax credits will be in but unknown because I changed to 4 weekly and it hasn't updated yet. So the repayments now will probably slow even more until then :o

    I'm happy I just crawled into the 8's :rotfl:
    Thank you :)
  • I honestly don't know how you manage it, Hidden. To pay so much off is just amazing. Obviously going to be a bit tight until 18 October but after that you'll sort it all out. Have a great time at the caravan. Hope the weather is good,
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.
  • The weather is awful :eek: I think we will need boats :rotfl:
    I am all packed and now at work having a cuppa! It was a tight run around!

    I need to pray the beddings dry when I get home then I can remake the beds and leave everything ready for Sunday evening.

    Will need to do a quick turn around of uniforms once the smalls are home why they eat some food before we leave!

    I'm looking forward to 8pm tonight when everything will be done and I'll be sat with a cuppa in the caravan! Raining or not :o
  • Aw never mind the rain. Caravan will be an adventure for the wee ones. How far away is it from where you live?

  • Hi Hidden, glad you're enjoying work and the wee ones seems to be settling into school. One more payment and fine 2 is gone! :T

    I thought you were off to the caravan last weekend. There is nothing as nice as sitting in a caravan when its raining. As long as you are away from home, relaxing and enjoying yourselves. xxx
