Benbens moneymaking adventure

Ok lets go for 11, shall we bring something for lunch?
Can we take a walk along the beach too if not raining?

Yep that sounds good to me Don't worry about lunch, I'll sort something; ds has invited my parents round this weekend for a tea-party so am sure he'll be an expert at entertaining by then

Morning all This weekend should be fairly leisurely as the flat is relatively tidy for a change The list looks like this:

• Buy birthday card for sil and post her parcel
• Post another parcel too
• Write thankyou letters from ds
• Ds homework (learning coins, have to play shops and work out change etc)
• Shop for tomorrows tea-party
• Ebay at least 5 items
• Sort out stooze credit card (0% ending)
• Clean piglets
• Post congrats card to friend who's had a baby
• Pay money into bank
• Think thats about all for now, but nothing too major on there this week

Your lists always exhaust me!!!

A friend of mine had a baby the other day too, you've just reminded me I haven't bought her a card yet. I would normally buy baby a small gift but I have no spare pennies

Talking of cards, I've been making some recently with a kit my Mum gave me and another friend gave me some nice bits, they look lovely.

I've just submitted my meter reading for the last 3 months and it came out at 295.00 :eek: :eek: Luckily my account was in 110.00 in credit, and this months dd hasn't one yet (44.00), but they will still probably write to me telling me they've increased my dd by a silly amount So currently I owe about 180.00, but this will go down to about 135.00 next week once the dd has gone. This is about the same as happened last year, although this years figures are higher. I hav just switched off the heating :eek: , not sure how long that will last, but I have been fairly lax about it recently, so I must monitor it closer again

Arghhhh it's awful isn't it? I owe my electric company £118.....going by my meter readings we use £63 a month which is mad....so my payments have gone from £25 to £83 to include paying off the balance I owe:eek: :eek:

Sil's card is done and I've posted it, I can't post the other parcel yet as I need to wait for a returns label to arrive first :rolleyes: I also got ds haircut while we were out (6.70 ) and I paid the money in at the bank. Ds didn't want to go to the beach now, he wanted to come home and play indoors :rolleyes: so I may dig out the stuff for ebay. I need to seriously clear the Next account so I can sort out the electric too I do have several brand new items (with labels) that need to go on there, hopefully I can make a decent chunk towards these bills

We ended up going out on ds bike instead, as the weather was good. He has also, finally, mastered how to do a forward roll this afternoon too :j :j I know it doesnt sound much but hopefully will be useful to tell them at his assessment next week He's never been the most active kid and he's naturally very cautious, so anything like that is progress for him

We went to Sainsburys too and I spent 27.00 on this weeks food and stuff for the tea-party tomorrow. I also changed ds wellies for the right size (last pair left ), so thats another little job sorted

Once he's in bed I'll try and crack on with the ebay as I still haven't got hold of my reviewer on aqa :rolleyes:

benbenandme

Ds didn't fall asleep till 10pm again last night, so no ebaying yet again :rolleyes:
I have lots of bits and pieces to get done today, so it will probably be a really bitty one :rolleyes: Only 2 x 10p's on scratcards today although they are now up to just over 5.00 so thats great for no effort
