Adds up so quick

Today good and bad - yelled at kids most the day as kicked DD1 out the house for a couple of hours. Thought she would go to a friends but ended up walking the estate getting wet. Feel a bit bad but she was well out of order. I was having a sort the house out day so the kids assigned to do their rooms and clothes. DD1 still ot done most of her bit yet.

I have sorted out some carboot stuff for freecycle, gone through bed linen and tidied that cupboard. Got a matress for bed off freecycle so switched that. A bit worried its too soft for OH but we have put the old one out in the rain . Either way no loss wil just pass it on if no good. I still have (grown out of) kids clothes to sort out and the bed to make.

£10 spent on shower hose (old one leaking and broke further when OH went to seal) and £70 on tesco shop. Over budget but stocked up on meat because with kids off school I want to cook a bit healthier for them.

Work tomorrow, going to see if I can switch visit to tuesday so finders crossed.

Well money at the moment is not good. Had two spending sprees £40 on 5 CDS although 2 were for DD2 birthday. Then on a whim blew £50 taking kids to see Happy Potter with McDs. Really nice but expensive. Will work out new budget soon have a busy weekend to get through. DD2 birthday and party tomorrow no OH today as he is on an all day errand for a friend.

Hope DD enjoys her birthday party.

Thank you she had a great day lots of smiles and no tears except DS and DD1 but thats jealousy for you. Overall we all had a good time. Busy week at work this week out 4 days so at least my stats will improve but will be tiring.

Not been updating this much been feeling moody and fed up alot. Either too fed up to post or dont want to type out the usual family carp. Cant get motivated at all debt wise thought that would have passed by now . Some good news is that total spent on DD2party and pressies was well under £100 budget roughly £60.

Great news on beating the budget...I feel the same about posting on my diary at the moment..think a few people are feeling a bit that way so you are not alone.
