Penny-Pincher!!

Morning

Been up since 4am, got too over tired last night and didnt settle well-nevermind!

Am just about to put a washload in as OH needs his posh jeans for tomorrow :rolleyes: luckily I have enough for a dark wash. House is nice and sparkling thanks to the cleaner being here for 4hrs yesterday just a small couple of bits to put away thats all. Have to pack today too.

We're going to my sisters tonight, staying over, spending day then having a firework display in evening. Im making a chilli today and she's doing quiches, jacket spuds, HM soup and rolls, hot dogs for kids etc etc. Think OH & I will do a cooked breakie in the morning as she deserves a break as she does so much for everyone else-shes very special! Must remember to take all me meds with me and some other bits I need for my mum and niece/nephew.

Will catch up later.

'Morning everyone :hello:

Sorry to hear that there have been some sleepless nights - nothing worse than tossing and turning and watching the hours pass by. I had a lovely night's sleep .. my body clock has finally adjusted to the clock going back (have this trouble every time :rolleyes:). So woke at a 'normal' time and had a lovely soak in the bath before everyone else got up.

Working at home again today but at least it is FRIDAY! Looking forward to a lovely OS weekend. Checking out the storecupboard sounds a good idea Jamiedodger ... I think I may try doing some menu planning this evening (as opposed to deciding on the day what to have and hoping I have all the ingredients). Tomorrow I am picking up some lamb I've ordered from the farmers market, so I'll be doing some cottage pies for the freezer this weekend (so that will be some meals covered in advance).

Have a lovely OS day everyone :wave:

Morning all,

Dinner tonight is roast lamb - a whole one :eek: OH comes over all caveman every so often and has to spit roast whole animals over an open fire

Its for our Bonfire Party tonight and Mil is paying for it! Hopefully I'll have lots of left overs.

So I'm working this a.m, then off to watch oldest DD in her assembly and then down to Mil to get ready for the party - she has a lovely big house in the woods and we have a little council house with no garden so we do all our partying down there.

Off to finish 2 dozen chocolate coated apples before I wake the kids up. _party_ _party_ _party_

Morning All,

Looks like it might just stay dry today so WM is on and has another 3 loads to go!!! Have been using airer above the bath as its still not cold enough to put on the CH. Didn't realise how efficient itwould be, stuff is dry in 24 hours

Went to boots xmas night las night and stocked up on nappies and wipes on BOGOFS which has made a LARGE hole in the budget but wont haveto buy anymore for about a month/6 weeks and it saved me £13 :j

Up 3 times with the kids and have a strep throat infection soon on the whole am feeling rough.It hurts to talk, swallow, breathe even. Oh well.

MIL and neices here this morning and DD1(3) has preschool this afternoon so might get a nap while the babies sleep then.

Off to adjust my spending totals now.

Have a good day,
Al.

Morning all!

Had a good day yesterday, work wasnt bad and I then went to ikea and bought the chair I wanted reduced in the bargain corner to £38, and a desk, so im going to set up my PC this evening when I get home from work - its been too long without the sims!

I love seeing the flat slowly come together, things are starting to look really nice now and next months pay (wo weeks away!) should buy everything else I wanted, and i didnt get into debt doing it so im really pleased!

Had a phonecall alast night from some uni friends who have decided to come up for a visit tonight, so that will be a good thing to look forward to finishing work for!

Anyway - must dash - have loads to do and im running a few mins behind schedule today!

Today I shall be filling in insurance forms for the accident I had on Monday. They are writing off my car. I'm a wee bit depressed, but at least I am not hurt.

Dunno about my spending, I have to look into that, I cannot see my money starting to get straight until after christmas.

Just had museli for breakfast, wil prob have sarnie for lunch. Not sure about dinner as I will be in work from 5pm-9pm.

need to do an inventory of kitchen cupboards, fridge and freezer and a meal plan.

A good plan, might copy you on that one. Havespent nearly half my budget aldready but cupboards are resonably stocked, freezer isfull and nappies/wipes are going to last me to the end of the month.

Should really work out what we will need for the next couple of weeks as am popping into ALDI for the first time tomorrow. I know its good prices but I really would kick myself if I then bought bits we didnt need.
