    How about insisting that any unasked for food spends have to come out of HIS pocket/spending money? :D
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    Hello.

    Another week closer to holiday - I can almost smell it. Just got to survive one more week of work!! Preparations going well.
    Finances going crazy (and not in a good way)
    Car went into garage today for some extra work (have already spent £400 this month on a full service and some bits and bobs) looks like it will be £600 plus for this one. Car is old and high mileage - but really there's no option of a new car - and at least this one has been regularly serviced every 700 miles and is otherwise doing OK. Need it to go on holiday. Cost will have to go on CC, but by reprioriting spends, I should be able to pay at least £300 off this month and still go on holiday with planned cashpot.

    From start of Sept we are starting new money focus, and DH has some kit to sell so hopefully CC all gone by then as well and we can start from ground zero.

    In other news, the pigs went off to meet their maker and in exchange we now have I don't know how many Kgs of meat - 2 freezers worth!! Neighbours have bought some already so a bit of money trickling back in. Going to give my mum a meat package as a thank you for looking after the dog on holiday. Have to try and sell some more - want to at least make back the £200 out of approx £400 costs - with a view that we will be eating the other 50%!
    At least we won't go hungry.
    Just got interuppted neighbour came round to say he wants 2 more packs of sausages! that's good news! So far £34 sold in all.

    £51.50 now sold......25% of the way there.

    Glorious here again today. This weather is amazing. Slightly worried we will run out of grass for animals tho....! Just goes to prove no one is ever happy with the weather. Loads of chores on list today including tidying up the stream from overgrowth- probably end up doing most of that as it will be cool paddling!

    Car still not back - preparing to wince when they tell me the bill....
