Good day thanks ISOM and GR, ran a bit late but managed not to get lost on the trains at all. Good coUrse but left all my notes behind, what a wally. A guy from Birmingham contacted OH about car and wants to see either tomorrow or Sat so thats good news.

Changed my user name as the other was too obvious

Hey there, thought I'd pop by and say hello and was confused by the change of name - nice choice though

Sorry to hear you've been having a hard time, very bad luck about the toilets as well. Hope you get some good news on the car.

small annoucement to make

:j Sold the car:j

£2100 cash to take to the bank tomorrow :T

Havent workout out how much will come off the loan yet but itll be a big lump and Ill have money ready to pay the holiday in full including decent amount of spending money so I dont have to say we cant afford it every five minutes. We wont go mad but it will make a change from scrimping on hols.

:A BIG thanks to all who have bared with me through the last few weeks:A

Hope so GR was a bad week last week, everywhere we turned things went wrong,

Rough budget says I can pay of £1500 off the loan keeping just under the £766 needed for holiday. Other than the Cavalier MOT which should be all thats needed at the end of July thats preety much all the big annual spends covered. The haircuts, birthdays etc can be dealt with using the monthly excess. £500 saved for christmas so dont need to worry about that.

Just need to update/check monthly budget now to ensure I have the excess and I can cover an overpayment on the loan each month. So far its the extra soends on Me , OH and Kids that are eating into any excess. Not too bad but still needs controlling. GC challenge still ok.

Also will get £56 back from car insurance I wasnt expecting.

That's the second bit of good news for you this week, selling the car and the money back off the insurance. However much you budget the extras seem to come from nowhere. DD just told me she needs wellies over the weekend as she's going to an outdoor pursuit centre on Monday and her wellies are too small!!!!!

Sometimes its difficult to control these unexpected expenses.

Hope today is a good one for you.
