    That’s so lovely, what a fabulous gesture 😊  
    I know. DD came down unexpectedly as I was crying and thought something bad has happened. She was equally upset when I told her as it meant she got something she wanted ordered x

    Morning,

    I’ve not put down any extra earning today as money doesn’t usually come in on weekends.

    I’ve got over my emotional outburst last night. I was just so very grateful. I’ve often hoped that a person in my life would realise the unfairness of the money situation and grow a conscience, but knew that wouldn’t happen. Instead a relative just saw how much I tried to pay for with DD and decided to help.

    I’ve put £300 back to replenish and increase my savings. This covered the windscreen and other costs. £86 has gone on DD (plus she needs clothes so will buy those). 

    My house insurance came in too at £187. This is currently on the credit card so I’ll be using it to pay off part of this as well. 

    It’s all gone to practical use. I might buy myself a bottle of fizz tonight though. 

    Have a lovely day everyone x

    Evening,

    Had a lovely day spoiling DD. She had her club this morning, then we went shopping to get her some clothes. DD is at a wedding next weekend and so I bought her a new outfit for that too. She even picked a handbag to go with her outfit.

    I got fuel which was £10 more than normal. 

    I did buy myself a little treat. I bought myself a new handbag and purse. It was £20 for both. This means I can sell my old purse which will likely fetch more than that so I’m feeling quite pleased. I’ll list it tomorrow as things seem to sell better on Sundays. 

    Hope everyone has had a lovely day x
