Hi all:)
Pap :wave:
Had a really busy few days again. The hallway is almost finished, I have painted the ceiling, done 3 coats on the walls and one complete coat of gloss. Last night I glossed some of 2nd coat. I will probably do a bit more of the glossing tonight after the kids have gone to bed and more on Monday. It should be finished then. A lot to do as there are 4 doors in my hallway! Mind you it is looking lovely already! I want to get a few pictures for the walls when I next go up to Ikea.
Have also spent some time these last few days tidying up the front of the house, I want to get a new outside light this year and also a new doormat.
Ds2 has just come down and given me a card and some chocolates he bought out of his own money, what a sweetie:) Rest of my lot are still asleep!
A lot of ironing planned today. Did 5 loads of washing yesterday so have all the uniforms to iron today.
Am also saving frantically as want the bathroom sorted this year, I want a new bath and a shower installed. A friend will be doing the work for me but it still costs quite a bit. Saving a little each day into my Isa!November NSD's - 70 -

hi beanie:) I paid off the last £50 I owed to cc at the beginning of the month. Didnt make a big deal about it as I have been debt free before and managed to get myself in a mess again! Didnt want to make a fuss about it:)
Lots more to get done here this morning. Have a meeting up the school first thing and then back home to do a bit of decorating and flying in the kitchen!
Didnt get round to glossing last night, had ironing to do and was really tired! Might pop to B&Q today and get some more stones for back garden...but they are soooo heavy!November NSD's - 70 -

Happy Tuesday everyone:)
I am off to watch DD in her 'Dragon' assembly this morning, she has been learning all about china this term. Looking forward to seeing what she has been up to.
Must get a wriggle on sorting out her easter bonnet for next friday, ideas anyone?
Ds3 is going to drusillas today he is really excited about it. He loves zoos! So I have planned to take all the kids to Marwell on 14th April:) Its quite expensive but they are going to love it!!!
Spoke to car people yesterday, I should be getting my new car by the end of the month, (hence the zoo trip!) my mum and dad are buying me a satnav for my birthday so I will be sorted:D
Huge list of housework to do today and possibly a trip to tesco if I have time. It is ds1 birthday on saturday...he will be 13!!!! A teenager!!! I want to go into town on friday to the party shop and get him a helium balloon with teenager on. Also want to go to chichester this week and get his birthday prezzies:)
Paid £6.20 into Isa this morning towards my bathroom savings! Hoping to reach £100 by next monday, fingers crossed! Im going to try and pay as near to £10 per day into it that I can. I am sooooo going to love having a shower:D
Better crack on with lunchboxes also need to wash hair before kiddies get up!November NSD's - 70 -
