    Hope you had a nice weekend.  We couldn't even persuade ours to watch it.  We did though!  Cake is essential!

    All these bank holidays are lovely (I have had them off) but they play havoc with the bank account and budgets. No idea where the bills are up to or not always quite sure what day it is :)

    Not much to report. Busy busy at work but helping other depts catch up so I've all my stuff still to come. Debts similar as before. Just plodding on with a view to keep the budget on track as the main goal

    I hate waiting the extra time for the direct debits to come out after a bank holiday :D

    I agree bank holidays mess everything up. You'd think because everything is automated, all the DD's could still go through, but it appears that even the computer gets a day off....lol

    Agree, a takeaway is deserved on that occasion!  Have a good weekend.

    Weekend has been good. A couple of treats thrown in but last few weekends have been fairly cheap so all okay. Sun has been shining which is lovely. A few things upcoming to pay for, leavers trips and hoodies etc. Will work out the finances again Monday and see where we stand. Debts are plodding but on the back burner. Just ticking over then whilst real life happens ha ha.
    Have a good day everyone
