Out of interest, do you think NM agreed to the trip further back than you think , remember the day the promoter asked if you were looking forward to your holiday ? X

crossed my mind but no I don't think he did - I think the promoter has just assumed as a week after asking me if I was looking forward to it , NM was working for him at an event and I heard him say " theres a drink in it for you this year" so I don't think any conversations had been had.

Did cross my mind though

so i'm calmer lol - I am not going on the holiday , it is far safer I stay at home and it is much more rewarding to use my AL on things I actually want to do.

NM will travel this weekend , he has only just booked his flight , I think he was holding out hope that I would change my mind but that isn't going to happen. His flight turned out to be a bargain , he shouldn't return out of pocket now and will leave the event two days early as he will not be required from that point. If he wants to spend his precious time supporting a rude obnoxious man that really is his choice , I just wish he had been far more up front about it. One day he will realise that the reaction is so much worse when he isnt upfront or is that me praying he does.

Payday has been and gone , decent bonus this month but at my girls weekend away last week I finally broke mt glasses so those will need to be replaced which will be a significant expense. Have home bargains reading glasses at the moment and will carry on with those and potentially I could save a few quid

£200 win on the PB this month too - NM has had £800 in 3 months so he thinks they are positively fantastic !!

Filed my self assessment tax return - I think I may be due a rebate but I find the whole thing very confusing so shall just sit tight and see what happens.

Car insurance renewed at £300

MC has been over at NM request to fix the long standing roof repair , NM paid him - it was a reduced rate but he still earnt and gladly took it but do we expect less.

As he left he said to NM that his mum wanted to talk to NM as she was planning on putting their house on the market and had told MC that he needed to find somewhere else to go by the end of the month. Obviously there is absolutely no chance he can come to mine but the fact the mum has only given him 5 months and wants him to leave when the property is listed and not sold speaks volumnes in my mind. Apparantly he is going to his friends ( sound familar) but the trip to the coast that was supposed to happen in the NY looks well off the cards now.

another £30 to cash out of quidco - intend to send this to the mortgage overpayments , slowly slowly it will trickle down.

The small amounts really do add up . MC must be driving his mother crazy for her to give him an ultimatum like that
