In the nick of time

3rd coat of paint needed on DD2's bedroom door. Then only the kitchen skirting boards :T :T Well done OH (did bribe him with £40 )

This is very needed as new guests have asked for an extra night... and they want to use kitchen... cue me running around like a loon bleaching everywhere including teaspoons..

luckily we'd done this for French guest and a couple of weeks ago soooo not to much damage.

Think DD2 has got the message about earned income.. kind of when I didn't give her money for nothing.. so dusting and mopping planned tmrw for her

There would have been £600 in the CB account when it stops, however I didn't want to give her it all now I've realised she gets loans and has the previous savings we've given her... I'm splitting it down the middle. £300 to her and £300 to me and OH. This will go towards our holiday.. or the MOT/Dentistry oh has planned.

Our bnb room TV wasn't working yesterday.. V.annoying as new last October. French girl didn't watch TV so don't know how long has been like that. Any how with new guests arriving I phoned freeview who said reduced signal in Granada region until September due to works and could offer no advice, incredible really,... ..So me in (!!!!!!) better fix this mode before work, ran off to buy N@W tv... got 10% discount form OH supermarket. but they only gave me one month , not 3 as stated... will look at this when guests leave..

I would think social media would have said something about blue and black pixclated screens for TV

however it has made me think of stopping sky.. just thinking mind you Now we have the box it would be silly to let it go to waste

So no spends all week and didn't stop spending yesterday.

£55 spent food. took OH's discount card.. should've been £61.. total £80 so far.
DD2 is pleased as she now has a variety of veggie stuff to choose from.
Got lots of yellow sticker items.

Spent a fair few quid on entertaining ourselves this weekend so need to curb that.. bumped into friends had a few large G&T's. My head was certainly telling me off this morning , and my waistline. I can't seem to keep to slimming W plan lately, although it is the easiest plan for me.

looking after GD this pm, whilst her mum is working.. OH is playing bowls... depending on how good he is will depend on what time he rolls home,,,, i hope i'm joking saying rolls !!!!

Just cut his hair so £10 saved.... when I say saved i mean spent elsewhere

Try Harder, I'm very good at making things difficult for myself

I crave peace and serenity and end up with chaos and drama usually.

Confession... DD1 car broke down a few weeks ago, her with little one and all.. pestering us... I bought her a car on CC as she will have !!!!py credit score (see previous posts, haha). budget was £2k... so I spent £4k. but she has a super cute ice blue ka, £30 road tax a year .. see bargain , balance transfer to zero today and she's set up the monthly SO to me to ensure payment.

I have OT tomorrow for the morning shift, then my own shift in the afternoon. I won't put myself forward for any more (mind you i've been saying that for 2 years). Off another weekend.. need to spend less than last weekend..

We have a few more BNB bookings trickling in.. total estimate for July is £380 so far.. now couple here currently have been here a week so far..booked until Monday. Now i know weather has been awful, but they have only set foot outside the house to go and buy fresh food, then home to cook it and go back to their room.. I guestimate they have spent 22 hours a day in the room... we would be going stare crazy

£12 spent on food so £92 in total

Have ate out again.. OH paid.. (must be that painting money ) £42 for 5 of us

and £50 on petrol in total. Will need more later this week.

OH had been sent home again.. he has been struggling with heavy cough/cold so they offered him AL instead to save pennies.. international company!! That same company is giving double discount for a week from Friday, therefore and bulk shopping can wait until then

Freezer has still got tons in it. last night I made myself a beef curry rice thing out of leftovers i froze last month another portion for work later.

diet seems to have hit a standstill, so back to playing with my fitness pal again... With my level of activity I still ate less than allowance including apple pie, vienese whirl and crisps no wine though

So up and at 'em today... I have been to the park to play on the exercise equipment. I seem to have lost my upper body strength, no surprise there. I will have a swim again this am (had one yesterday) as the weather is glorious, then work this afternoon.

OH payday on Friday so bills account will be replenished.. Keeping my fingers xd for the magic £800

BNB money over the next few weeks is straight to the car loan. Still considering a holiday.. cheap flights to tenerife plus abnb appartment total £600... however , OH has dentistry to pay for, MOT due, OH needs new glasses... He's going to have his eye test when the 20% discount is on :D . We do have the money saved but my lovely saving pot is looking healthy as I've moved it to TSb 5% plus 5% regular saver..

DD2 is having a social life for the first time , downside its costing me....... So her uni fund is getting depleted. If she won't work or help in the house i'm deducting it from the money saved.
