Boring update really.
No money in or out to debt (Plenty out to school :cool:) - had lunch and drinks bought for me and a good ride out to green space.
No more decorating.
Not much cleaning.
Nothing much MSE type things.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Oh I guess the fact youngest totally refuses to dress up for school tomorrow saves money as she will only go to school in uniform
How awful will I feel turning up with her in uniform while everyone else is dressed up :cool:
She really won't back down though, not even with bribes of sweets and things :rotfl:“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

Tell them all she's gone as a plain clothes detective. That was a favourite ruse for us impoversihed students during Rag Week when we didn't want to get a fine for not going in whatever the costume of the day was!I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Morning
Love that the wee yin only wants to wear her school uniform and the plain clothes idea is a good one...
Have a lovely day, hope the weather isn't too wild where you are

It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

Morning
School is for uniform only apparently :cool: She refuses to wear anything but uniform :rotfl: She won she's in uniform.
I'm not ready for it to be morning already :rotfl: I didn't want to get up this morning.
Going to drop smalls at school and then have coffee in the hope it wakes me up enough to get my jobs done. The cleaning is mainly done but I want to get more painting done before the wallpaper goes up tomorrow.
Have a good day all x“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

Well smalls in school and as I thought youngest only one in her class not dressed up Bah! Oh well she's happy and I made sure she didn't want to change into dress up once she'd seen everyone else dressed up.
Today's plans are not much really :rotfl: Again.
Need to meal plan
Need to check what needs paying and things.
Need to transfer myself money back to cover Amazon order
Need to get write a list for supermarket tomorrow
Need to remember to ask school youngest's hours for Monday I think she needs collecting at 11! but it hasn't been confirmed.
Need to finish painting and touching up
We need to post Xmas cards smalls made
Finish the letters from Santa to smalls in reply to letters they sent
Drop things into food bank with smalls maybe a weekend thing.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Bless your little one not wanting to dress up, she obviously knows her own mind and if she is happy that's all that matters.
Have a good day.xx0 -
Bless your smallest- what a cutie!
Just caught up on your diary- you are making great progress with your debt, and can't believe how well you are doing with your decorating too- i've had a pot of paint sitting in the cupboard under the stairs to do the spare room for 2 months and still not got round to it, maybe that should be a job for this weekend!!Loan £13,339.81 (4.9%) Current End Date Dec 2020
