    A small update, hubby has a meeting about a job later so fingers crossed for that. It won't be full time hours but hopefully enough to shelter the EF for now.
    Have nearly finished reading the DRams3y book and must say I feel inspired to review my money a bit and follow the ba3y steps.
    Little man not well today but grateful we had a good Easter weekend.

    It's fantastic that he has a meeting about it. Most folks would be in shock and even unable to contemplate what to do you are miles ahead. I hope he get's it.  I've not read his book but his y*u t*be channel is great. I hope little man can rest a bit.

    Thank you. He got the job 🙂. Its less hours and less money but its a starting point from which he can build up. He has become a bit more money savy through the experience which is good for long term. He has been on pr0lif1c and sold some bits aswell which all helps.
    Little man been asleep much of the day so I don't imagine tonight or work tomorrow will be much fun but thankfully he's managed to eat and mostly OK when awake.
    I finished my book and onto The R1chest M3n in Babyl0n which I picked out of a few options as it was 75p on k1ndle. Hopefully it will bring a bit more inspiration.

    Well done. That is such an achievement. He is clearly well thought of.  Poor little man i do hope he is more settled.
    Well done on starting this second book, it will be interesting to know your thoughts on it. My favourite finance book is The M*llionaire Nex& D1or, simple and easy to understand. I gave up half way through the R1chest Ma*. I do wish i had read them sooner. Both you and your husband sound really smart to me.

    Ahh thank you SW that's very kind. Ohhh that ones on my list 2 but was more expensive... I know I might be able to get them at the library but love my k1ndle and know it's the only way I will read now. I read rich D3d p00r D3d many years ago and should of continued... I regret that. I am on book no 3 atm and have a list of lots more, think I will keep checking and see if prices drop. I'm not sure if the current book is for me tbh.
