Morning
Today's payment went of the credit card £40 to clear the balance on there. I forgot I used it when I'd forgot my debit card.
Trickles of money in so not as skint just need to be careful.
Need some 'fresh' bits from the supermarket but trying to hold of for now. We need to use up some of the things we have in rather than keep topping up and using the fresh stuff.
Hope everyone is well

Well done on the weightloss and the debt reduction. Even small amounts are going in the right direction!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

Thank you
Morning
The weekends creeping up again. Hoping youngest is well enough to do something. We have been bad parents the past few nights have gone for an evening walk/to the park and haven't been getting home until after their usual bedtime However this has worked at keeping game time at bay and giving them some fresh air after tests at school. They've all slept a bit better which is always a bonus.
Popped into Mr T last night too for some fresh bits. Sorted again until the weekend.
It's raining this morning so going to spend it catching up on ironing and things indoors. Hoping to arrange a meeting at school over youngest! Been trying all week though so won't hold my breath.
Hope everyone is well and thank you all for still popping in

Ironing and boring things done. Still no word from school :cool:
Some work to be done this afternoon so need to think what everyone will be eating for dinner and get it sorted.
Weather still doesn't want to be on my side. We where going to go down to the country park with ducks etc after school but I think it might be too wet!

Doesn't sound like bad parenting to me. Spending time together. Getting some fresh air and exercise. Couldn't do better. Hope the weather clears up and you get to the parks. I love going to see ducks, etc.We have been bad parents the past few nights have gone for an evening walk/to the park and haven't been getting home until after their usual bedtime
Hope you get something sorted out with the school soon.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.0 -
