    Good Luck on clearing that card Mum - are you doing the payment a day challenge?

    My snowball failed as well - tad optimistic with how much we had to snowball with! x x

    What a morning and its only 9.00am! DS has been sick all night so I am keeping him off nursery today, the boiler has something wrong with it - we can have heating or hot water but not both at the same time and someone has just crashed into OH on his way to take DD to school - only minor damage luckily. It doesnt rain it pours!

    Back later x x

    Afternoon everyone.

    Rest of the day has been quiet so far. Managed to have a sleep with DS this afternoon so dont feel quite as groggy!

    Need to go shopping now for trainers for OH, bits of uniform for DD, bedding for DS and DD, towels and some groceries. Have been putting it off as long as I could but I hate spending money!

    Stocked up on horse feed for the rest of the week which came to 48.25.

    Some good news have paid a couple of bills and have brought my total paid off to £10,120.92 so that has cheered me up! Have also knocked a month off my DFD to Dec 2013 so am feeling quite positive today.

    Off to update my sig x x

    I am dreading DD's party this year - we have always got away with having little family parties but this time she will be 6 and wants a party with her friends. I am considering hiring somewhere but have no idea what sort of costs are involved - its not until March so have plenty of time to think/worry/save.

    Hope DD gets better soon and she enjoys her party xx

    Taxi - hope you are feeling better today x x x
