    I'm fine monz just keeping busy :rotfl: how's you?? Hope you're ok xx

    Hubby finished the wallpapering in the kitchen :j woo ho another job done its all sparkly :D need to buy paint for the skirting boards this week so I can finish that side of it ;) then that'll be another job sorted. Now it's the fiddly jobs like the pelmets and putting the skirting boards on and finishing the lights under the cabinets but the end is in sight so I'll just get hubby to tackle a small job a day after work so it's not too overwhelming for him xx

    Set up toddlers today £1 and I think that's all I'll be spending today :T

    Waiting on my blind to be delivered today :j so I'm hoping I can convince hubby to put this up before we go to abbies school for her options meeting, can't believe she'll be taking her exams next year :eek: scary stuff

    Wrote out my action plan for my holiday spending money have given myself a target of £1500 by the week ending 26th may :rotfl: so it is possible :cool: we shall see, still hoping to have made the last payment towards the holiday paid by Friday :eek: should be possible if I jiggle some funds about ;)

    Sent my avon order away at the weekend have £474 in orders :T so that's another £100 in commission wasn't convinced I would even hit that this campaign as I myself wasn't overly impressed with it and neither were some of my customers but hey ho plus gained 5 new customers with this book so as usual £50 will be winging its way to some sort of account :rotfl:

    Morning :hello:

    Sent £12.66 towards the holiday fund this morning defo on track to send final payment on Friday to the holiday still waiting on the cash back hitting my account getting impatient now :rotfl: not like me at all :D

    Hubby put blind up last night :j it's looking very nice now need to find a nice ornament for the window sill :rotfl: think that's what I'll buy once I've paid off my holiday :cool: a little treat you can call it xx

    Taking Kk to toddlers he's shattered these days with this cough the inhalers are easing it a bit but not as much as I would like :( I'm sorely tempted to switch off the baby monitor so I can get a sleep but don't think I could do that tbh :(

    Will be a bit of a spendy day today as need to go to lidls for fridge stuff and homebargains for a few bits like kitchen roll and freezer bags so will be on later to be accoutable for my spends xx

    Hubby's job for tonight is put up the shelves in a cupboard in the kitchen that he adjusted so he needs to cut them all down to make them fit........told him to just take it a job at a time now.......seems to be working ;) xx

    Bought Abbie new school shoes......that's her in the adult sizes and a what a jump in prices :eek: adidas sent me a email yesterday with 25% off some of there already reduced shoes :T so instead of paying £75 and got her new Stan smiths for £35 :j so defo a bargain and exactly what she wanted so they are expected to get delivered on Friday they better fit her :rotfl:

    Working 9am til 5pm Wednesday is normally our quiet day so whilst kids are watching a movie this morning I'll be doing my ironing pile :eek: then after lunch kks nursery are doing a spring clean........basically picking up rubbish around the school area

    Need to get milk, juice and sugar tonight Kk is going to his grans tonight so I'm looking forward to a full nights sleep xx

    Hubby fixed the shelfs in my cupboard I no longer have snacks attacking me :rotfl: and whilst he was on a roll he put my interior door back on my big cupboard so at some point this week I need to go and get paint so I can start painting the skirting boards and doors xx
