Finances

It is now Friday of the first week of my enforced single motherhood. All in all it hasn't been a bad week. I have been a bit ill but apart from an annoying croaky throat, I am feeling quite well. The children are fine. Work has been a giant pain in the rear end - endless frustrations. I can cope with that though, because the only way is onwards and upwards.

Now as for my project, I must admit to have really started nothing at all :-( This week has really been just about surviving. I am going to use this weekend to get organised a kick off with a bang next week. I need to do some cleaning, some washing, some ironing, some menu planning and have some time with the children. So much to do.

I need to address the finance aspect of this big project of mine. It is simple really. I need to create a budget and stick to it. I need to work out goals to set. I need to menu plan and do shopping lists.

Sounds very easy on paper (well the screen anyway).

Must put it into practice.

Brief entry today. It is 6:18am and I have children to wake up and I need to get ready.

Today is the funeral of my husband's dear friend Vince. I know that Peter is sad not to be there to say goodbye. I can't get there either.

You are in our thoughts Vince. We will always remember your big smile and your big personality. RIP Vince.
