The car was picked up eventually, and we have also picked up DH's new car. He's happy with it, so that's all good. It's also not as big as his previous one, so I would be happy to drive it if I ever needed to.
I've enjoyed my relaxing afternoon, watching a bit of TV and reading."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 McGee6 -

Little miss is back to normal this morning thankfully Towels and bathmats have been washed, and our bedding is in now. Little miss's bedding was done yesterday so I'll do little jwil's later too when he surfaces. Hoovering and bathroom will have to wait until then as well.
Apart from that it's a lazy day planned today. Freezer food tonight, and just relaxing. DH will be off tomorrow so we'll head out for some fresh air and test out the new car. He's received his payment for the old car today so that's good news. I can't fault his insurance company, though I guess everything's more straightforward when it's an open and shut case and the other party admits fault."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".

I've done everything except hoovering so I'll whip that around in the morning.
DH has finished work so our Christmas can officially begin! He came home with a hamper full of goodies which is nice.
I've cashed out £5 on a survey site so will PAD that tomorrow. I'm also 5 points away from £50 on YG, what's the bets it will take ages before I get another survey!
I've relisted all our ebay sales now that it's too late for Christmas postage."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 McGee4 -
A hamper 😍🥂😂
I was getting near cashout on YG recently and they were surprisingly un-stingey with their invitations so hopefully that'll be a nice amount available to you soonhttps://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1
