  • Had some fun activities with the kids over last couple of days Budget now needs a total revamp as a puppy appeared at our house yesterday. I had made my thoughts perfectly clear as I don't think we have time and don't feel we can afford it -to quote myself "have u not seen the ****** news".
    I will leave it there and return with a miraculous revamped budget. 
    Have a good day folks!

    Glad you've had some good days with the kids.  Eeek and awww to the puppy.  Hope it works out :)

  • Thankyou. I hope it does too. It's the card I've been dealt and so I've got to deal with it now I suppose.

  • Very hot again today. No miraculous budget in place, also had to explain to kids why we can't now do things we had planned. I'm a tad fed up so I won't dwell on things. Will go Tilly tally and tidy the accounts up.
    Also in true debt wanabee stylee I have written down the projected costs per month from my octopus crystal ball bill prediction on their website and am going to aim to beat it each month and get it cheaper. (Jan estimate was over 700 so not choice but to beat it really but may as well make it a game)
    Have a good day everyone

    Good luck with the energy challenge.  You can do it!

    I hope you feel better about things soon.  Puppies are extremely hard work the first few weeks/months, I hope those who wanted it are taking the majority of the load.

  • Haven't done any exercise this week as other things got in the way but took myself if to a yoga class this morning.  My local leisure centre had a 6 month deal that I signed up to a few weeks back. Works out at 3.80 a week and was my treat to myself. I've only been once this week but other weeks I've swum two or three times so should hopefully get my money's worth

    Thankyou. It's a life change isn't it. Still not on board with it tbh but I'm gonna have to join in somewhere down the line.

    They are definitely a shock to the system.

  • No miraculous budget. May as well wait till price cap is announced before I try. In the meantime I'm not a quitter so I shall go Tilly tally something to a debt. And I did some exercise this morning, not much and was more to go out of the house but it's something!
