Pay day today and DHs first wage since his 2 year career break and should have this for another 3 months with the prospect of a potential contract in September - fingers crossed. We're edging closer to the end of the 190's which is exciting and now less than 50% of my 1% still to find. Looking forward to having half term off as it's been a challenging few months so trying to focus on the positives
