Congrats on Day 13, alt, will soon be at 50 % of your 1st goal - well done you!
Great to read also that you have been enjoying good family time with your son.
Genuinely curious about what makes a belt worth a price tag of £380 - not a judgement by the way, each to their own when it comes to spending hard earned dosh.
And agree with RelievedSheff's post above re being there.

What the !!!!!! has happened to this? Anyone else got some entirely new format on their screen?
Looking like we've got through the day without any personal spends anyway ha too busy to spend anything and so is wife she's done two cars whilst I've been working ready for the rain fml. Just got used to the summer being here and looking like a return to rain for a week just in time to go to kids adventure park. I'll !!!!!! 100% guarantee rain next weekend when we go to York never get decent weather for anything.
Going to go through spends this evening see if we have spent more than I've earned not counting the wife's sales. Plus side she's had a £250 one (same thing as the one who didn't pay) and a £50 go. One that's bought the £50 item sent more !!!!!! messages for something worth £50 though haha half expecting trouble off that now.
@RelievedSheff you're sounding like one of the pros lol.
@SanguineGina thank you; make it through to Friday 50% the way there to first goal.
Ha not sure falling to sleep on the sofa next to him counts fml lol.
Re belt it's decent quality def worth a premium over generic JL item or whatever but some of the price tag is the brand I'm not blind to that lol.2 -
@annabanana82 It's a difficult one to know what to do re sales imo just needs to come off the card balances and deal with another day but wife has different ideas with that seems to think it's spending money haha.0

Yep my format has changed as well. Totally threw me when I logged on just now!Bottom line;
£49k paid off
Car HP paid off
Debt Free!
Saved Escape fund and moved out.
Current focus; saving Emergency fund0 -
Not liking the new format at all!
We do need some rain. Everything is parched here.
It goes from one extreme to the other at the minute.0 -
Day 13 through. Managed to get the external jobs done with wife, not a lot else on my part been busy with the business today. No time to even !!!!!! think about spending or the other stuff win win there.Format is strange idk must be getting old getting resistant to change on a !!!!!! internet site now ha.@RelievedSheff yeah what we really need is some rain for the minute I’ve got plans for my weekend 100 !!!!!! % for you get your grass watered. Could just get a sprinkler system for your garden and an air con system for inside that overly efficient new build but no, you want the rain just ready for me to get !!!!!! drowned at the kids adventure park. 👍3

You have had your own challenges to compete with mate and we all make errors, we are human. Early on when the little one was first born I struggled to adapt but I soon realised all they want is our time.2 -
The weather looks dry for Saturday Alt. You may get lucky with the theme park and not get wet
