    Morning all:)

    Decided to do a tesco shop instore yesterday (a small one) to tide me over until later on in the week and then I will do a final shop online at ASDA. Bought a few bits I needed and also a birthday prezzie and card. Spent within budget allocated. Also put enough petrol in my car for the week.

    Have almost finished my homework and will do the rest later today.

    I am off to the gym this morning with my gym buddy:) I always feel a bit better after going as I am feeling a bit under the weather this morning. Nothing I can put my finger on though, autumn blues I guess.

    Was very good and tackled my ironing pile yesterday.... as usual I have more to do today, see how I feel later, I may leave until wednesday.

    Have a meeting this afternoon, ds3 bi annual review with disability team....always a joy! The we are having a small 'party tea' for eldest two ds dad as its his birthday today and they werent going to see him until the weekend, so I invited him for tea:)

    Must get sorted now as have to get kids up in a mo!

    morning:)

    Have done online banking this morning and adjusted budget and spreadsheet.

    I have a large to do list today which I am hoping to plough my way through. Need to be super organised today so tomorrow runs smoothly while I am at college.

    Off to gym this morning and then straight home to crack on with jobs. Need to do some more washing as getting behind again already. I dont know where all the dirty washing comes from!

    Really needed to get into town this week and buy some prezzies, if I dont have time today I will leave until friday, DD is on inset on friday so will look forward to popping into town with me.

    I have made a start on xmas prezzie list and budget, I am hoping to have pretty much completed this by the weekend, so I will be ready for november.

    Hoping for some NSD's soon as they have been very few lately.

    A little bit of a lie in this morning:)

    I have just looked out of the window and its raining again! Urgh! At least I have the whole of half term to get the washing dry.

    College was brilliant this week! Learnt loads of new stuff. We spend half the day in the classroom and half the day in the workshop. I am really enjoying the course! Also found out that I dont need to do the level 3 of the course to do what I want to do, so effectively finishing a year early, although I may take another course after that.

    I will be doing 2 more small courses in January they only last for 1 term but I need a pass in both.

    House always seems to go to pot after thursdays! So more housework on the weekends for me!

    I am going up my sisters at lunch time as it is her 30th today. Must get !!! much as I can done this morning. House is also beginning to resemble a chinese laundry again!!! A bit behind on paperwork too, so will tackle that on sunday.

    Am going to do that meal planner again tonight, as I still cant find the old one.

    Have a good day all x

    It sounds like college is definitely the right thing for you! No need to make decisions on the extra year just yet - see how you feel nearer the time!

    Enjoy your lunch with your sister......and don't fret too much about the housework, it can wait another while.......:D

    Thanks hypno:)

    Had a lovely time with my sister:) Didnt get back until late afternoon so only did a bit of housework. Two washes done and hanging on airers as it rained all day.

    Weather is much better today so will be trying to get another few loads washed and on line to dry.

    Loads more to do so better get on with it!

    Morning:)

    Have finally done my asda food shop this morning, for delivery tomorrow morning. Money is still fairly tight for the remainder of this month but hopefully I have pretty much bought everything I need now, all prezzies and cards bought and I am doing well with my xmas shopping list. Have roughly decided what I am going to get for the kids and will start shopping in earnest for xmas from next week once the kids have gone back to school.

    Today is a day of laundry sorting and ironing, no other plans today.

    Ahh its tuesday!:)

    Managed to get laundry all up to date and sorted yesterday so massive pile of ironing to crack on with today!

    I have about £20 to last me now until end of the month so have to be very clever and only spend on absolute musts!!

    Savings are def on hold until the new year as I will be using nov/dec money to cover xmas. I am hoping to tuck away money each month from january to cover next years expenses.

    Asda delivery due this morning so hoping that they havent missed anything out! Dont want to have to pop in to tesco until end of the week for extra milk.
