    Today so far: up at 6.25, let out dog. :mad: (No point going back to bed - did'nt get to sleep until after 4) One load of washing in TD, one load of washing in WM. Cup of coffee. Get up DD1 - no problem got herself washed and dressed:D. Got up DD2 still very tired - slouched on settee until 8.30, got ready for school and left on time:D 1 out of TD and folded, 1 in WM (boil wash as bedding). Cup fo coffee no 2. Upstairs stripped DD1 and 2 bedding, quick vacuum of carpets, S&S bathroom, cleaned dogs nose prints of my window. Rubbis round up. Decided to go to bed for a couple of hours as was feeling shakey at this point. Friend came round, made it clear that I was tired and going back to bed. No tea offered as would have been here all day otherwise. Went to bed dozing off, telephone rang - telesales:mad: Dozed off,woke up by another friend but it was 12 so let her off had tea and chat. Now time for something to eat and drink then try and get some more done. TTFN:D

    Where has the past hour gone? :confused:

    Accounts up to date - I have £60+ in a savings account :D Saving up for Xmas/birthdays, school trips, & Brownies (weekly money from brownies not needed will be used to pay for new uniform in August ;) ), DD finally has pocket money :rotfl: She hasn't had any since Xmas as she's been spending it faster than she was getting it but I wasn't keeping track properly. She has a whole £5.44 left for this month unless she gets more. Should be plenty as that's in addition to her Brownies money. ;) Grocery budget last month was blown by a massive £120+ :eek::eek: I don't even know where it all went! I already have to throw things out. I am not going to be using a carton of UHT skimmed milk which has gone off or pure orange thats gone fizzy unless someone can suggest a use for them? ;) I have £80 left for this month after my delivery today. Plus I'm waiting on CSA money again :rolleyes: Ex gets paid on the 20th so I have no idea whats going on as I usually have it within 5 days :confused:

    Right, run to Asda to get these little bits. NO BROWSING :o I'm hoping to have enough stuff in to sort out packed lunches for me for the rest of the week...in theory. Then I really need to get stuck in...I think I might get DD to help me fly when she gets in... :wave

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
