    Got another payout from prolific today so that has been paid off the car loan and the snowball has been updated. 
    It's half term here next week, I'm having to work the whole time 😢. OH is taking the littlies to the big smoke on the train on Wed using our friends and family railcard for the first time. We do need to replace the kids scooters, they got one each at Christmas from Aldi and last month the wheel fell off DD's. It's taken this long for them to get a response from the manufacturer and to agree we can take them back. Does mean we need to buy more expensive ones as unfortunately OH promised the kids ones with flashing wheels. 😕
    Oh was planning on heading to town to get a few bits, ie go to McD's but I had a quiet word about overspending/ living within our means and he changed his mind. I know he'll go tomorrow morning for brekki anyway after he's finished his night shift.

    But at least he won't be going two days in a row! I sometimes think the more fancy then the more to go wrong. A solid one is better 😘
