watch those pennies float on by

Well got paid today, it was a nice payslip. Then the partner and I had to go blow half of it. 200GBP to pay the monthly bills, 250GBP to get new mattresses for the daughter and us and then 90 on a 3 seater sofa from the charity shop. Quite a bit of money, I am not enthused about the amount spent but obviously bills have to be paid and the mattresses will make the rest of our lives easier and we may even get a decent night sleep for once. The sofa was the only bit that was a bit of luxury but, lets be honest, the price includes delivery and it was from a charity shop so... We also got a bit more stuff we needed from the department store, finishing off most of the X-mas shopping and such, but that was put on the partners card for now.

This does mean however that the rest is going to have to be watched METICULOUSLY. I cannot stress that enough. While I still have about half the payslip left that half has to cover phones, travel and groceries.

Despite the vast amount of monies spent we are excited about having comfortable seating and nice mattresses for once.

Peace.
