Hi again,
I haven't ordered a fridge yet as the conservatory is now cold again for a while.
Payday today and I shuffled my money around, paid debts and I will start the envelope system again. I will take cash out for food, fuel and maybe £50 fun money. I also ordered DD birthday gifts, using deals, cashback and promo codes where I could. She had quite a long list but I told her to write down a selection and I'll pick a few so it's more or a surprise this time but she knows there is a budget,
DS is going on a school trip tomorrow abroad. Got everything apart from 1 or 2 t-shirts which we'll get tonight from Asda or Tesco while doing a top up shop.03/26: OD £1200 600 500, CC £3914 3317, family £3100, loan £5618 5306 5036- total: £13832 12323 12003, mortgage £58,243 £57,766 571140 -
