hiya hypo & beanie:D How are you both doing?

Ahh sunday morning! Its pouring with rain outside but still pitch black here. ds3 & dd are still asleep but shouldnt think for much longer. ds1 & 2 are at their dads and will be back this afternoon.

Behind a bit on the laundry, but as long as they have school uniform for tomorrow I am not too worried.

Must remember to update my nov grocery challenge total this morning as I havent added last weeks food shop yet. I am well under budget. I put most of this down to changing from tesco to asda, some of it is due to doing a bit of a store cupboard challenge. My freezer is looking much clearer now, I can actually see what I have got

Have a lovely sunday everyone x

Morning guys!

Monday again! I have a rotten cold just started yesterday and I dont feel like doing anything except going back to bed!

Have just finished of novembers spread sheet and adjusted decembers, still waiting for a cheque to clear and you never know what day it will.

Have made a start on decembers asda order which I will probably have delivered at the beginning of next week, I will need milk, bread and apples before then, so will nip to tesco in the next few days to pick them up.

Uh oh I can hear creaking upstairs so better get on with lunchboxes, have a great day everyone! x

Morning all.

Yukky rainy sunday here this morning.

Had an asda delivery on friday, total spent £144 and pence, will update signature later.

Most xmas presents now bought and wrapped. I have a hectic fortnight coming up as the kids are doing plays and having xmas parties and discos.

A large pile of paperwork needs to be dealt with this morning. Kids are all still asleep so its nice and quiet here. Put the xmas tree up yesterday, looks pretty. I am all excited about xmas now, cant wait to see the kids faces when they open their presents!

JAMIEDODGER

Budgeting going really well so far this month:) I have been sticking to my meal planner and am confident I will manage to keep in budget for food shopping grocery challenge for december. I do have about 50 left to spend and I will be nipping into tesco for the fresh bits I need this month.

Am planning on doing the remainder of the xmas shopping over the next few day so hopefully it will all be finished by the end of this week:) I have had enough of spending now, I just want xmas to hurry up!

JAMIEDODGER

Just ordered 2 more xmas presents from argos online for ds2 thats him now finished:D Also ordered two of his birthday presents (29th) will order the other one on friday and get his card and wrap and then his birthday is sorted too:)

Going out for xmas lunch with the mums from school on friday really looking forward to that! No drinking or we will all be tiddly for the school run!

I also have friend and kiddies round for xmas tea on friday evening, must wrap their prezzies before then!

Off to college tomorrow but I will be finishing at lunchtime as it is ds3 school play. Also need to nip into chichester at some point to pick up vouchers for sis, brother in law and niece.

I am really looking forward to the weekend when I can just chill out!:D

JAMIEDODGER

Had a rotten nights sleep last night for no particular reason. Have been up since 5am when my alarm went off as I have college today. Already bathed and dressed and the kids are all still asleep!

Nipped into co op yesterday to buy some pasta, so another £3 spent must adjust GC total.

Will be paying 50p for carpark this morning plus snack at breaktime. Finishing at lunchtime so I can go to DS3 school play, cant wait its always very sweet.

Have updated spreadsheets this morning with bills etc. Will spend sometime over the weekend going over next years budget again. Lots I plan to do in the house in 2010. Upstairs is finished except for flooring, downstairs needs a lot of work still. Planning on doing the electrics myself, once I have my part p. Will need to get a plumber in to do the work on the front room, need a radiator moved.

Have been slacking in the gym department this last couple of weeks, so wont bother now until january as the kids break up next week, then I cant go at all.

So looking forward to xmas meal tomorrow, I can almost taste the turkey:D

Ds3 school play was brilliant, he had a speaking part this year and said his lines beautifully!

Off for lunch with the girlies today:) Need to pick up milk when I am in town.

Two parcels arrived yesterday while I was out, DS2 xmas prezzies so one is wrapped and under the tree and the other is a stocking filler. Still waiting for his birthday presents to arrive. I also ordered his other bday prezzie this morning so now he is all finished:)

Five presents left to get now and three of those are vouchers! I am so glad I have nearly finished and can then start thinking about next year.

I have booked a table at pizza hut on 29th for ds2 birthday, he is bringing a friend and then having a sleepover.

Better crack on with making lunchboxes now...

Blimey Jamie I was reading thinking "How nice to be all done, and now you can relax.....and start thinking about next year??!!!" :eek::rotfl:

I guess I have much to learn on the DFW path to freedom!
Have a good day, Mac x
