I've had a productive morning today. Caught up on paperwork and updated my spending spreadsheet. It's very 'eek' this month with all the house bills. One of my DMP debts wanted a review so I've sent that, and they mentioned a F&F so I've asked them to send me what they'd accept. I doubt it would be anything I could afford but there's no harm in finding out. It's still £4k so it would have to be a huge discount for me to accept.
2 lots of washing on the line, and tidied the kitchen. One ebay parcel packed and posted.
We are off out for the day in a bit, meeting friends for a birthday party and then I expect we might mooch across Dartmoor on the way home."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 McGee5 -

Good PADs. Good decluttering.
