Just catching up a little. Glad you had a lovely Christmas and got some sales! Well done. Being back in T3 is a nightmare, especially for the small restaurants and so on who worked so hard to re-open at speed. I hope you and OH can enjoy your break together without too much stress. Rain here overnight but here’s to some clearer weather soon x5

Your kids are great so a bit of spoiling won't harm them
They've handled this year well, so I think they deserve it!savingholmes said:Glad you had a good time. Enjoy the rest of your break."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 McGee5 -

We've had a nice quiet few days. Just chilling. I think today will be more of the same and then tomorrow will start tidying up a bit and getting on with things again. Just a few days left of this year now. I'll have to have a last burst of decluttering!
Today I will pack the items we sold over Christmas. That will be a box of stuff gone.

12 parcels packed and posted. 1 left to pay. I've managed to use nearly all of the boxes and packaging that we had gathered from Christmas deliveries, so that's reclaimed some space too (and saved money!). We do reuse as many boxes as we can, but I still have to buy packaging materials throughout the year."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".
