    went to my mums today and came away with lots of goodies :D
    at her work shop they sell things really cheap so she sometime picks us up bits so we got
    * lots of toothbrushes for us and girls,
    * toothpast for us and girls
    * some head ache tablets (with the caffine in aswell!!)
    * and a big bottle of ribena!! which i love

    she also raided her freezer (still likes to make sure i am eating properly!!) so we got
    * gammon joint
    * Big leg of lamb
    * big mince
    * and some little chorizo sausages

    so will be re doing meal plan and shopping ist before i go to tesco. Going to do the gammon over night in the slow cooker and might have some for dinner tomorrow or just use it for lunches.....

    Also best of all today was my great uncle has given us £300 to put towards a dishwasher :j:j:j:j he said he had lots of spare cash and wanted to give us some and my mum told him we wanted a dishwasher so he said to use i towards that :) im so happy as i wouldnt of been able to buy one for ages but now i can and it will make things soooo much easier!! and they have said i HAVE to buy one so i cant even fel guilty about not putting some towards the debt..

    Of coursei will search for the cheepest way and with the best cashback and what ever is eft i will put towards the debts....

    im so excited!! My best friend who is back from australia for a bit has her boyfriend coming over for 3 weeks before they go back over and she wanted us to come to thorpe park with her. My mum is going to have the girls so we can go!! Big kid i am :D and will be nice to spend the day with her before she goes away for 18mths again.

    I can get tickets with tesco clubcard so i might do that to save some money or i also have a buy one get one free so even if we have to pay it wont be to much :)

    Also i have some deal tokens already changed up but they are out of date, so i just spoke to them and i can send them back and get a points refund put back on - i thought i had just wasted them.

    I have had a nice weekend - but have managed to spend a bit to much money!! It was my sister in laws bdayso we went to the inlaws for a bbq yesterday which was lovely and the girls loved playing with there cousins.

    I cant wait for my card to come and be able to check my online banking again - i hate not knowing whats going on...... hopefully it will all come in the next few days......

    got some more stamps for xmas(£3 - every little helps...) and two more £2 coins to save away...

    Have ordered the clubcarddeals for thorpe park so shouldnt cost to much for the day out now...i hope...

    havent really done a lot more dfw this weekend - will have to do a meal plan and not spend much this week. The summer holidays are coming up so i need to think of lots of cheap/free activites for dds to do........

    of to have a look round the site and read some diaries...

    DH has been told that he may have to go down to 4 day weeks!!! I dont have a clue how we will even pay the mortage, bills and min payments let alone doing anything to help ease the debt!!!! Not sure what we will do if it does come to it!! Might have to look into going into a mortgage holiday or something......or see if can get a job in the evenings???
