Happy holidays and happy payday!
Carpet fitter turned up at 7.30, said he'd take a chance on me being up Luckily I had dragged the kids out of bed early and I had at least managed to shut the other bedroom doors on the mess, and hoover up the spilled cat food so I didn't look completely slovenly
Good news also that one of the gutter people got in touch last night, so they've booked in to come and have a look next week. I'm very relieved as I do want that to get fixed as soon as possible.
I've got little jwil's Easter service this afternoon, so won't be doing a huge amount today, but can make a start on the tidying and cleaning, and hopefully soon admiring a new carpet!"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".

Looking really good @jwil. Have you started paying more towards your debts? I need to do a DMP review & keep putting it off but they are now chasing me.We had my youngest’s Easter service yesterday - I didn’t know any of the songs - you couldn’t call them hymns😂 so felt really old. I love a good hymn from my childhood 😂I hope you have a lovely weekend and that the completed bedroom looks fab xx2
