    Hi Abba

    You are doing so well with your mortgage saving and holiday spend saving! A couple of months until we start saving for a deposit- I can't wait!

    I hope all goes well for your Gran with her move.

    Fingers crossed the dress fits well- that reminds me I have a wedding the end of next week so I need an outfit! (And to buy a present :()

    Thanks orange xx

    My grans move went well she's all unpacked hubby's been doing odd jobs round the house for her putting up selves lights etc xx

    Dress fits like a glove it's very slinky after battling with my weight since I was a teenager I feel more confident in myself since attending weight watchers plus I'm at my target weight :T

    Bought the boys more holidays clothes vests and trainer socks cost £30 so got a bargain there also spent £8 in farmfoods getting a large bag of chips, wedges, smilies and juice for the little one xx

    Today should be under £20 as I'm getting my eyebrows waxed and tinted in time for the hen night on Friday so this should cost about £8 I hope :rotfl:

    Working 3pm til 6.30pm but it's a lovely day so they'll be outside might even take them to the park seeing as its a lovely day xx

    Nothing much to report on the debt front or the savings front as still need to book our parking for the airport but I'll be doing that once I get paid hopefully tonight and I also need to pay for my sons swimming lessons but we get two holiday with this block so will save £9 on this and don't need to pay for my daughters swimming anymore as my daughter has completed her swimming lessons :T:j:T:j:T:T saving me £45 every 10 weeks .......she was offered advanced swimming lessons but she's not fussed so I'm really chuffed with her but only snag is I promised her if she completed her swimming lessons before we went on holiday I would give her a blocks worth of money £45 :eek: and she's went and done it :rotfl: so hubby ain't impressed as he's promised the kids he will double their money that's in their money tins once we open them. :rotfl: oops my bad :D hey it encourages them to save lol xx

    Right off to get my ironing done before my eyebrow appointment....means I can get paperwork sorted out when I get back..........making the most of baby k at his grans today xx

    Evening :hello:

    Managed to get all my ironing done :T spent two hours on that the I swept and steamed my kitchen floor as well as getting four wash loads out on the line which is all dry now :T

    Walked up to my waxing appointment and spent £15 getting my brows waxed and tinted :o but it has been 5 weeks plus got my lip done too lol xx

    Got a salad box from the wee shop next to the salon £2.80 £2 on 2 bottles of juice and £2.55 on trashy magazines so spent just over £20 today's oops xx

    Was working from 3pm til 7pm has to have words with the mum tho as apparently because I don't offer pizzas or chips for dinner it's not good enough (this was from mindees) and I've told the mum if what I supply for dinner is a problem then she'll need to provide dinners :rotfl: needless to say the mum told the kids off for being ungrateful :j woo hoo xx

    Weeded the back garden too when the kids were out the back playing earlier so that's been another productive day out the way xx

    Need to go finish my dishes then I'll be chilling out with the hubby

    Still no debt or saving payment but hoping that'll all change on Friday x

    Got paid today so tomorrow I will be paying money into my bank but this needs to cover the parking for two cars and DS swimming lessons so won't have much from my wages left this week :( oh well but at least all the preparations for the holidays are in place :T thank goodness then I can concentrate on spending money for the holiday :D

    Thanks jwil I don't think he thought it through tbh lol xx

    Well walked to town and back paid for DS swimming lessons then put rest of wages in bank

    Nipped to home bargains got toilet paper £2 a new doormat £2.49 and a bottle of juice for me 29p then popped into subway spent £3.29 on a salad it was yummy :p then nipped to tesco for salad cold meat and got a couple of father day presents so spent £19 in there.

    Might have sold baby k's old nightgown but missed the ladies email so I've messaged her back hoping she's still in the local area and if she does then I'll have earned another £4 :T fingers crossed she gets the email tho xx

    Got a school show to go to at 1.30 so just chilling out really should be doing housework but can't be bothered tbh time of the month shoer up and first day always drains the life out of me.........:(

    Off to see how much the parking will be at the airport now wish me luck lol xx

    I don't think its too bad 10 days parking for under £30 with my groupon code :D but waiting on hubby getting home so I can see whether he wants to keep his keys or leave them with the parking place?!?!?!?

    It's always the last thing to book that's the hassle :rotfl: should have it done by the end of the night xx

    That's very, very good for parking abba. I won't tell you what they wanted at gatwick at Easter, even with cashback, it was eye-watering! We got a taxi in the end because it was cheaper - how mad is that.
