Hope you had a nice weekend. We couldn't even persuade ours to watch it. We did though! Cake is essential!"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 McGee0

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

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

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....lolMaking the debt go down and savings go up

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 everyoneJan 18 Joint debts 35,213
