Sorry it is still tough. I hope the NT visit perks you up a little.

Great news on the extra £400...I'm happy if I find a fiver when I put a pair of jeans on 😆

I just thought I'd been really naughty money-wise. I couldn't work out where it had all gone.... So relieved to find it...

Thanks GAP

Sorry to hear you're still having a tough time, keep going though you'll get there xx

Thanks Dancing... Things will potentially seesaw in a good way by next weekend or a bad way.... Just waiting to find out which or whether it will carry on teetering for a while... Just need it to be over....Honeysucklelou2 said:

It’s just so amazing to look at your signature and see the starting figure at the beginning of the year and the current figure now. You have done phenomenally well and are so close to your debt free day. Well done!

Thanks HSL. I am very grateful with the progress we're making but just want it gone now... but at the same time seem to be overspending... Ooops! Need to get back on the wagon properly. Either way should be debt free June or possibly into July....

Just changed my settings to see what your balance is, that's come down well and soon it will be in the past.
Enjoy the NT visit!

Thanks MF. Will be good to get out and about. Our pooch is on her season and my walking seems to have stopped accordingly... (as trying to keep her away from any dogs... and I'm out of the habit of going walking without her...)

Well done on the payments. Sorry things are still tough. Hope you enjoy your weekend x

Thanks Jwil... I'm going somewhere where there's a very famous laburnum arch walk and I'm hoping it is still in flower. Don't know whether we are too late for the Azaleas and Rhododendrons but hoping they will still be in flower. Always like to go there this time of year. B0dn@nt.

another virtual friend wishing you well and sending congrats on the progress you've made on debt busting. I hope the sun shines for you (and all of us) and that the long weekend does you good.

Loving all my virtual friends. Do appreciate you all. Hope you get sunshine where you all are too. Hopefully I'll be able to escape my head. I have a 140 page midi journal - and have filled 2/3s of it in a week with all my rantings and ravings about life - with a little melancholy poetry thrown in!!! None of it is likely to be fit for public consumption!!!

Keep your chin up SH, you WILL get there. ((((hugs)))) XX

Thanks Chrystal. I know you don't often post but really appreciate it when you do.
Just hard to keep perspective when you feel like you are walking through fire....

You might have timed your visit just right. The laburnum arch is expected to be in full bloom in the next few days.

I just looked it up, that looks lovely! One to visit in the future. We keep thinking of getting NT membership. Enjoy your visit.

Thanks WelshKitty and Jwil. Due to be 16 degrees there with low chance of rain... Here's hoping.

Well my ultrasound was clear other than some fat in my liver - and my abnormally high liver function and iron levels have reduced since losing some weight and stopping the multi-vitamin I was taking... So that's some positive news.

DD is spreading her wings. She went on a bus with some friends to a city for an escape room experienced followed by pubs etc. She got home drunk at 1am via a lift from another parent... Proud and nervous of her confidence and risk taking all in one. DS has found an internship he plans to apply for and is actively looking for jobs. DH did about 7 hours overtime yesterday - much of its overnight - so we should get a financial boost from that at some point.

I feel so relieved at finding that £400 - I couldn't understand why there wasn't more £ available to put towards debt... It was very much a Doh! (Homer Simpson) moment!!
