    It has been a busy old week. OH met up with my boss the other day to look at the larger workshop. Its a bit scary as he's asked us to come with a rent figure and its a bigger leap than we were intending. Lots of head scratching going on and I'm not talking nits!!!!

    It was lovely to go out as a family last night. The meal cost £93 including drinks. Came to pay for it at the end and was going to put it on the card (debit I hasten to answer) but their machine wasn't working. Luckily the bank was only across the road and I could get the cash out. How far have we come to be able to do that?

    OH had a really good sale, he bought a ride on lawn mower for £550 and took it to the sale and it made £820 less commission, not bad considering he had the mower at home for less than 24 hours. Everything else he sold made a few £s but its better off away and at least the place looks a bit less like Steptoes yard!

    I worked at my other job on Thursday night got 4 hours in and DD1 came as well. She's been paid and we both got £15 in tips so she was well chuffed and her phone fund is mounting up. DD2 has seen a frock she likes at New Look, she was £5 short but cleaned the bathrooms and has made the money. So todays plans are to drop DS1 off at his job (7.30 aaaagggghhh) go to the wholesalers and pick up some bulk items and try not to spend a fortune. Go to Lidls and then finish off in Morrisons. Do New Look and maybe get DS2 some trainers but he is soooo fussy and I hate spending a fortune on them. I'll also need to get the DDs some wellies before half term as they'll need them for camp.

    My car has got its MOT booked in for Monday and last night it clocked up 100 thousand. Need to keep it going for 12 months and then think about a different one.

    Spent a bloody fortune! Shouldn't have to shop for a while, 'cept for milk and veggies. DD1 was gutted at spending her money but she bought 3 hoodies which averaged just over £7. DD2 couldn't find her dress at the shop so I've ordered it online. Ds1 as predicted hated every pair of trainers he saw. Dropped him off at his friends on the way home.

    Bribed DD2 to tidy her bedroom of doom and I made it out alive. Got 3 bags of clothes to give to bags 2 school.

    Oooooh fogot to mention that I could possibly have got tickets to see Michael Mcintyre next year. Must make a point of not recycling them this time.
