    Hi:hello:

    Will be recommencing padding in january when xmas is out of the way and paid for:)

    Yes decking is all bought and built and looks fab! It will be brilliant for the kids during the winter months when its cold but dry and they have somewhere to play outside if the grass it wet! A great investment!!:T

    A late post today!

    Kids all back to school today:) Not going to get to asda this week so have done an online order instead which will arrive tomorrow. Spent roughly £90 so fingers crossed I get everything on my list.

    Have ordered a few more xmas prezzies today, a couple for dd and one for ds3. Might order a few more tomorrow. All bills paid and up to date:)

    I am sitting waiting for the postman this morning as I have a few bits I am waiting for, hopefully they will come today..

    Have plenty to do at home today, might watch a film while I am ironing too.

    Hi Jamie,
    I just wanted to say that I've always read your threads. Makes me sound like an MSE stalker!
    I think cause you have 4 children and I do, I feel I can relate to your budgets and plans etc.
    Anyway, thanks for all the stuff you write on here, it encourages me to stick with my plan!

    Morning:) An early one today.

    Back to college this morning so up earlier than usual. Asda delivery arrived yesterday so need to update my november grocery challenge total with new spends. Scary when you look at the total knowing that I have spent nearly half novembers food budget already and its only 5 days in to the month!

    I did get plenty for my money though, £86.57 spent so brings total so far to £110.70!!!!!

    Lots of meat now in the freezer. I will have to go to tesco on friday to top up on milk and fresh stuff for over the weekend and I will do another big asda shop later in the month, when the stocks have gone down a bit and I can see whats left to buy. I am hoping to do one large shop in december instead of 2 smaller ones to save the delivery charge twice.

    I put some more petrol in the car yesterday this should last me a week. I am using more now as I am going to college once a week.

    Right time to get on.....

    Morning Jamie,
    I was awake at 4:45am this morning but couldn't talk myself into getting up! Not sure I feel better for lying in bed but it was warm at least.
    Hope you have a good day at college. What course are you doing?
