Thanks beanie:)
Lots of things been going on since I was last online, have done a lot more to the house.
I have had two radiators moved, gate fixed, re-arranged all the kids bedrooms, had a wall built and a windowsill put in. I have started to rip off the skirting in the front room in preparation for the new flooring to go down. I have re decorated the landing upstairs and had the tv moved onto another wall.
Quite a lot of making good left to do before I start painting the front room.
Nothing much more to report other than that, I have obviously got a new computer.
Budgets all going according to plan so far this year:)
Off to have a good browse and see what I have missed:DNovember NSD's - 70 -
Morning all,
Up early as its college today! Still feeling the after effects of a rotten cold and a long half term so could have done with a day in bed to be honest!
How nice it is to be back online and do my banking instead of doing it on my phone!
DD birthday in a week so must think about sorting out the party bags, I have booked her party at the local sports centre and its paid for, I just have to pay for food on the day.
Off to get ready now have a great day everyone!November NSD's - 70 -
Morning:)
Have sorted out the party bags for DD birthday so another thing crossed off the list:)
Am going into town today, need to go to the post office and the bank and I have some money to pay in DS1 bank account for him. Then I am having breakfast with the mums from school, we are trying a different place this time as the food has really gone downhill at our usual place, its always a shame when that happens!
The washing pile has grown and is now overflowing so I will have to tackle that today! Lots of other little jobs on the list which I will probably get to over the weekend, where has this week gone???
Just checked quidco and I have over £40 sitting there that has been paid but I am not withdrawing it until christmas!!
Have a good day all xNovember NSD's - 70 -

Morning all!
Miserable weather here this morning! Ds1 is just off to do his paper round and it is pouring with rain outside!
I have just printed out some colouring sheets for DD to play with, we won't be going out anywhere today... so glad I am back online so I can do things like that:)
I have a list of jobs to do a mile long this morning, It is still hard to get all the washing dry with this horrid weather.
Popped into Tesco yesterday to pick up a few bits and check out the price of cartridges for my printer, total for black and tri-colour cartridges was £39!! Came home and checked out price on play.com and they were £15.99 for a pack with one of each in:) Ordered through Quidco for cashback and as usual with play, free delivery:D Very happy! I know I could use compatible cartridges but I print a lot of photos to scrapbook and I find the quality not as good with compatible cartridges. Good saving there so am really pleased! Have adjusted the budget to show the reduction in that category.
Ds2 & 3 are still in bed so I will go and wake them up in a bit.
Have a lazy sunday everyone:)November NSD's - 70 -
Morning Jamie!
I need new cartridges too, but have been putting off because of the cost......I had not thought about trying play.com so will hunt them out over the course of the day and see if they do the right ones at the right price! Thanks for the tip!
Tis raining for paper rounds here too.......but both have gone out without complaint
My list is a mile long too - in fact, at the moment it is all in my head, so I must get it down on paper before I forget half the things that I want to get done! None of them are big things, so they are in danger of getting lost in the muddle that is my brain (again!)Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes.
