Ok so I’ve paid my dreaded tax. I’ve been shopping and done some washing, I’ve cleaned one of the bathrooms and put my clothes away which is always good.

I’ve been dreading today I had to get through something, without meaning to sound too cryptic. and I’ve managed to, relatively unscathed. I’m so happy. I’ve been worrying about it for ages, I didn’t realise how much it was playing on my mind and filling my thoughts but now I can forget about it and move on and life shall remain as normal. Phew!4

Glad you got through relatively unscathed Missy. These things do pray on our minds, don't they? X1

Yay to sorting the tax bill and the other issue."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee1

Hey @dawnybabes and @Bluegreen143 thank you so much for taking the time to check in 🥰. I’m ok thanks, fallen off the wagon unsurprisingly with my unrealistic literally spend no money plan. 🤦🏻♀️. I always do this and I never learn. I have the best intentions but I just need to be realistic! I’ve had to buy new trainers, and it’s half term and everything adds up.Business has been tricky you need such a thick skin in this game and everyone is out for themselves and we’ve realised there are very few people we consider actual trusted friends lately. So that’s been a bit of a tough blow and we have a difficult/awkward meeting on Saturday to deal with.
But in other news, I’ve meal planned ok this week, I got to meet my new niece 🥰. Having a lovely half term with the children and have actually been able to exercise to an amount I’m happy with which is always a bonus.
so it’s not all bad! How is everyone else doing? X1
