    just a quick update and a little get my act in gear list for tomorrow. been on here for ages and just realised the time:eek:

    Been to my mums for a bbq today so didnt have to worry about food which was good and very yummy :D

    as tomorrow is fathers day i think ill let dh have a nice lie in (while i sort his card etc :o) then will pop to my dads to give him his card and also going to give him a thank you one for our week away as it was sooo nice and he spent a fortune on us!! we are also going to go to some play bits for the girls (with our left over holiday money...)

    The girls were given £5 each today and dd1 has decided she is going to save it for her next holiday to center parcs (bless her) so i might get her to pop it in to her bank and put the other dds in to theres aswell (when i sort one for freya) rather then them just spend it on rubbish and get dd to look after her money......

    so for tomorrow i need to:
    * sort the fathers day cards
    * Do a load of washing (back log from holiday :eek:)
    * Do daily scratch
    * Catch up on surveys
    * Do bingoport
    * Look after my dh all day long :)
    * do meal plan for the week

    good night i better get to bed..........

    have had a lovely day today!! went to some play bits and they had loads of fun!

    so have spent some of the left over money from the holiday and also have some left for dd1s after school club she wants to go to. I think i should be able to make a little over payment from what we have left in the bank as have a bit more left but going to wait till end of mth to check i havent missd anything.......

    Have done my scratch cards and looked at mystery shopping and surveys but there isnt any at the moe..... need to go on to bingoport now and get a few points...

    Still going to attack the abbey cc first - first thing is to get it back under the 1k as its creaped back up (bloody car tax :mad::mad:)

    well of to do bingoport and have a look for some dinner ideas for the week.....

    well today has been a lw spend day: only paid for the after school club which i had the money for. I have started a challenge for saving my change - I already have about £9 and i want to save it all till i get to £50 then i will pay it of the cc......just have to see how long it takes me now lol. I hope that as its loose change i wont notice it to much....

    Looked in the bank and its looking ok - my mobie bill came out and i thought it as about £10 more then it was :) so should be a little more left atthe end of the mth... i think i just have one bill left (i hope) and then i can see whats left to make a little over payment...

    Have done my scratch 10p again.... will do bingoport again tonight - managed to get the 1000 points yesterday and used a little on the bingo but didnt win anything...(only really doing a few games here and there so i dont get kicked of)
    Have also done a survey for valued opinions today only about the 3rd one i have ever done for them so will be a while before i can get the voucher.... was turned down for the lightspeed one i had and the mums opinions :(:(

    still havent done a meal plan so dinner is going to be what ever i can russle together!! Wll do it tonight and shopping tomorrow.

    xx

    the naughty step is very busy!! :)

    Bingoport is a free bingo site, you join and get points to play with, you also earn points for writing in the chat rooms. You get 100 points for each post (up to ten a day) you need to play a few games of bingo so you dont get kicked of (you never no you might win :p) when you have 8000 pints you can redeem it for a £5 amazon voucher. if you wanna join then ill refer you if you want as i think i get some points for it :D

    Wed - Chilli and jacket potatoes (will make extra for freezer)
    Thurs - Sausage, mash and beens
    [/STRIKE]Fri - Lasagna salad and garlic bread - had spag bol instead
    Sat - Sausage and bacon pasta bake with garlic bread - was bad and had a curry!!! :mad:

    Mon - will be something with left over chicken - forgot to putthe chicken in the fridge!!! so had frozen chilli left from earlier in week
