Lovely to hear from you Wannabe .

WannabeFree

I'm not sure where to start.

Debt I guess that's why we all post here I don't think it's changed too much. Everything has been paid but minimums only I think for now this is the way to go rather that worrying about it too much yet.

Shopping Too much of that! Grocery spends have been awful. Treats for the smalls again awful!

Speaking of smalls. They all started back to school and youngest has been enjoying it. She adores her new teacher so that makes it much nicer. I also trust her new teacher 100% She really is amazing. She's been off for nearly two weeks after being unwell and deciding to scare us all with 'funny turns' and going grey and stopping breathing. We are keeping our fingers crossed this was a side effect of a strong med we used to kick a short term illness to prevent it kicking off underlying issues. Fingers crossed! She should be back to school tomorrow though.
Other two are just wonderful. I really don't know how I've created such thoughtful caring smalls. Don't get me wrong DS seems to have picked up a bit of a 'big boy' attitude but knows how far he can push before I'll be really cross and DD is just DD always out to be good and does try her hardest at everything she can.

House .. Decorating still being done. A leak from a flat roof and half the ceiling falling in = mess. Being sorted now I'm feeling human again though.

C word. I have started Xmas shopping. I have probably already broken my rule of just 2-3 small gifts and 'time' being spent rather than money. However life happens and makes you realise certain things. This Xmas will definitely be one with many memories and things created. NO debt however and still on a budget. We will still do the daily December things etc I have just given in to some Christmas' wishes that I probably wouldn't have previously.

I think that's a big enough update for now without pouring out my health issues and moans

Hope everyone is well

It's really good to have you back Wannabe .

It's lovely that youngest likes her teacher so much. Your children have clearly been very well brought up and are a credit to you.

At least if the minimums are paid on the debts then you won't be chased by angry people, so that is good.

It's an excellent idea to start preparing for the dreaded C word now, as it has a habit of sneaking up and then ruining our budget :eek:.

Cherryfudge

Lovely to hear from you again Wannabe . It must have been horrendous coping with these health issues, I do hope you all get a break from them.
So good to hear youngest has a beloved and trustworthy teacher.

Lovely to hear from you again

You know, I think you are rather brave! After a bit of a break on here it gets harder and harder to reopen the door. Sometimes just starting again is the best and easiest thing - well done, and you know you have lots of support on here. Have a good weekend

So good to hear from you again. Your smalls are a real credit to you, you're doing a fab job with them. If you only pay off the debt minimum for now so what, you can catch up later but for now just take time to live a little.
