Missy’s family of 4, paying off debts, saving for a house and just trying to survive!

Sorry for last grumpy message. Seems to happy every so often with me doesn’t it!
It has passed fortunately!

Wow what a beautiful day! This is what I have been waiting for! I love the sun. It was so nice to get home from work yesterday and sit in the garden! The children got their toys out and we put the little tent up. Going to mow the grass and put the paddling pool up with the gazebo for them today! Trouble is it’s a cheap paddling pool and you have to blow it up by mouth as there’s no adapter thing! That’s true love that is 😁.

Think I should probably do some washing but I’m sat outside drinking my tea and really enjoying the sound of the birds tweeting away and feeding on the bird feeder.

It has been a lovely weekend, I've managed to dry 7 loads of laundry on the line, finally cut the grass, did some weeding and deadheading, interspersed with relaxing in the garden reading and chatting with the family. If only more weekends could be like this.

Oh @Baileys_Babe you’ve inspired me. I’m on my third load of washing, paddling pool took forever to clean and blow up. And then had to get the gazebo up, but all good and the children are having a wonderful free day in the sun!

Have been struggling a lot lately as have had to spend money and have also spent money I didn’t really have to. Or I’ve gone to the coop to buy food as I haven’t been bothered to go to Tesco. Half term is obviously crazy busy and has been expensive on food and treats for the children, I say expensive, I’ve spent around £60 but I randomly got an extra payment from a client I wasn’t expecting, so that is covered.

Just doing my sums to see if I will have enough to put aside pay the tax, this month looks ok but I’m not sure about next. My sums have all got confused as I’ve written them out about 4 times.

Need a shower and need to warm up OHs curry, I’ll just have some toast as there wasn’t enough for me.

Haven’t been shopping yet this week but think I’ll put an order through on OHs card. He goes away on Wednesday for 4 nights which will make food cheaper. So if I get a sainsburys collection for tomorrow hopefully I can get it to last until the following Sunday.
