    Thank you :D Hope you have a lovely bank holiday weekend :D

    I think Im ready to go once the kids finish school. Well I hope so there can't be anything I've forgot except the kitchen sink ;)

    Made other half's meals and labelled them and froze. Wonder if he can manage :rotfl::rotfl:

    We have magpies nesting out back and all day there's been one lonely one. Im not normally superstitious but I hate seeing just one :o :rotfl:

    Debt-free and Proud!
    I've read through your diary hidden! The amount you've paid off so far is wonderful considering the circumstances.

    I hope you have a lovely time away and get that much needed family time all together. It's also good to see you received your husbands wage and nothing was spent. Hopefully this is where things will continue on the up.

    Happy holiday!
    Chandelier.

    Thinks are okay :)

    Other half sent all his wage over this week. I've paid the bills and sent him £40 back for his bus fair/smoking and whatever else he needs and I have around £25 left for us.

    We're all ready to go now. Other half's dinner is in the slow cooker so he can't moan. Slow cooker in this weather :o :rotfl:

    I've washed the uniforms hoping he remembers to hang them up :cool:

    The weather has broken and today looks very much like it will rain. So the plan is probably going to be do the soft play and things indoors that are free. The kids are still in bed so I'm enjoying a quiet coffee.

    Plenty of time to reflect on homelife. DS has said some things about the atmosphere at home and it's something we're going to have sort out because it can't continue if it's hurting them. More effort needed on my part to be 'happier' and not so serious all the time :o .
