Our attempt at being MF!!

Payday for DH so money transferred to cover food and petrol costs. His wages were £52.** better than expected so extra £2 ish sent as a huge Tilly tidy and the other £50 paid off the smallest cc.

Requested £20 from TCB and paid that off cc too. Will let the money replenish the account when it arrives as I was far too impatient to wait! Balance for swimming lessons due by next week, will pay as late as poss via cheque

I really need to make these costs as part of SOA as its about £5-600 a year to find in trembly installments. Haha, that's meant to say termly but maybe auto correct is better! :rotfl:

£14 sent with dd to pay for school trips, wow these children are expensive!

Mr E - My Mum took me to the pool from about a year old onwards and got me used to the water though I didn't really have lessons until the age of 3 or so. My Dad couldn't swim and took lessons at the same time as I learnt. It was nice that we did it together

That's nice you did it together. When I was at the gym this week (using a free pass of course!) I saw a few family swims and it looked like lots of fun.

Yay, weekend is upon us, thanks Al. We celebrated with wine!

Have a few things I want to do today so here is a list!

1) run 10km
2) put bathroom back together (removed boxing in to get to pipes)
3) put some new vinyl tiles down in bathroom to replace ones damaged from leak
4) read gas and elec meters
5) put oil in car
6) deep clean bathrooms

Think that's enough for now. Am searching for motivation for job number 1 but as I am only on my 2nd coffee and it's raining won't be happening any time soon!

Money news? Current account reward money in so shuffled and paid £9 off cc. Also sorted out some pay issues so will be a little bit better off this month and am due some back pay. :j

Undecided whether to pay it off cc or get extension plans drawn up so we can get some quotes. I am 95% sure we are not moving. The other 5% allows me to browse rightmove daily

Have had a pretty good day. Woke up at 6:45am (that is late here) to realise DH had already been to work for a bit so he then took the children swimming. I made the most of the free time and went swimming myself. On way back treated myself to some new running gear from a cheap sports shop and lots of fruit from @ldi. I know how to spoil myself!

Noticed on my daily checking that I had £21 payable in TCB so requested that and have sent that plus a bit extra to cc. I am probably being rather ambitious but am hoping to survive on the £20 cash I have in my purse until the 15th. Food and petrol already budgeted for and can be spent on cc.

Also managed to do some work related coursework today so feel much better now some more of that is out of the way. We are lucky to have lots of training but the demands of the extra work are not so appealing. Did some work yesterday too which I forgot to add to my list of morning tasks.

I have also been researching local architects and trying to imagine our house with the extension. Finding the money to pay for it however is requiring a lot more creativity!
