We've had a quiet weekend. Not done much at all. Not been feeling the love really. DH and I had words but have cleared the air.
The survey was cancelled the other day as they broke down on the way. I had a call from both the person coming and the office, so hopefully will reschedule soon.
I've done 6 listings and we have a few things selling.
Caught up with some admin, and made a list of all the things needed for school in the next few weeks. I've renewed our breakdown cover which we had lapsed as we'd cancelled it as it was so expensive, but didn't get round to renewing.
I did order a M&S light up set for me
I need a bit of joy in my life 
Both kids got Blue Peter book badges this weekend so they are pleased with themselves, and so are we! We shall have to look and see where they can get free entry now, so that should give some good days out."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".
