Yes, it's always harder in the holidays when there's stuff on, and you want to take the kids to it but can't."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
DH's taking the kids out this afternoon so I will have a bit of a break :T Might try and hunt some stuff to ebay and just have a general tidy around."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Can he take mine too? They're doing my nut in.
Or just have time for yourself? Catching up with orange is the new black or gardening? Or scrolling through farrow and ball. It's always nice looking at what they have on offer even if it's never possible. Or just some pintrest action?

Hope you are enjoying your child free time
Sorry it's a tight month but I'm sure you'll still find things to do with the children.
Your weight is coming off and your debt is going down, so all goodIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

I know that feeling!
I did a lot of the tidying in the morning before they went :T So sat down and finished my book, then went for a walk
I haven't watched OITNB - is it good? I might add it to my watchlist.doingitanyway wrote: »Hope you are enjoying your child free time

Thank youIt will be fine once we come back, I'm just loathe to spend anything before we go.
I'm taking them to the trampoline place this morning (costs nothing because of our pass) and DH has suggested a walk in the woods later."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Just cashed out £5.12 on PA - is it me or are surveys taking ages to be approved on there at the moment?
I'm 25p away from cash out on one poll - constantly refreshing but no surveys!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

I have loved OITNB and need to rewatch from the beginning to get all their stories again. I would definitely put it on your watch list.
I'm so glad you used it for time for you rather than time to firefight against the cleaning in the house. When I get time alone in the house it so exceedingly rare I run about doing as much cleaning as possible... hubby however sees it as time to relax and will be just watching the wrestling. So I'm sure your hubby wouldn't mind you relaxing.
Hope your Ebay sales have all done well tonight and theres loads to go in the morning.
I'm jealous of your bounce passes. I never seem to find anything like that that's age appropriate. Keep up the great work xxxLoan 1 £5200/£8000
