Morning WB
Hope you all had a good nights sleep. Is DD2 in school again today or was it a one off for her award and photo? Hope you hear from the councillor regarding the things you need to sort out. Did the police come and do your locks for you?
Have a good day. xx0 -

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
Beanie just the one £75 fee to the bailiff.
Cancelled today's appointments
A day of nothing much else though. Older two in school and youngest is sleeping. Going to potter round and do the cleaning. Need to clean the windows and things.
Hope you all have a lovely day

Forgot to add
We have the extra window and door locks etc. There is ALOT of locks now (3 on each window and 4 on each door!) :rotfl:
We also had a power cut this morning so at 4am every house alarm on the estate was going. Then it came back and went again setting them all off again!
I'm not posting budgets and things for now as they are just all over the place. Will wait till things are settled down a bit But I have a plan and hope it works!
Need to look through the cupboards and freezer and meal plan for as long as possible with what's in - some random dinners on the horizon I think.
Also turned the heating back down to 13 - I have no idea what this 'should' be or what is the normal number for others?

I've just spent a good hour cleaning DS's games room and have a black bag full of c&&p, although to be fair we also use it as a dumping ground.
That's a lot of locks :eek: Not wishing to tempt fate but make sure you have a plan in case you need to get out quickly and you're in a panic - fire etc. Ours is the bathroom window and onto the garage roof - although I think I'd need rather a hefty push through it these days :rotfl:
Brrr 13 sounds very cold to me but hubby would be in his element. No idea what the standard household temp is but I'd happily live in the high 20's.
As long as you have a plan and you know what you're doing with your money etc. that's the main thing.
Right off to tackle the kitchen now. What joy. xx0 -
I do worry about if there's a fire Tea But we do have an escape plan etc and we've practised (I really am that uncool mum )
I would have it at 20 all the time too if I could :rotfl: I hate the cold.
Sounds like a busy day for you (I am going to get cleaning too soon but I'm having another cuppa first)
