    The weather is awful here! The sun keeps poking out and then just as you get your hopes up, its gone again! Hopefully the rain stays off long enough to get a load of clothes dried.

    Today I have:
    • Checked banking and transferred some money about, also had 56p interest into my ISA
    • OH walked the kids to school
    • Checked the SB site to check on ticket sales, sold out at O2 now :(
    And I will:
    • Job search and do any apps
    • Meals from stores
    • Do some housework
    • Washing, fingers crossed line dry
    • Sort out where to send jsa form, backpay has been signed off :T
    • Find an online guide to putting hair into a bun, DD has a show and I have no idea about buns :eek: (ooooooo her 1st show, Im so excited for her!)

    Morning all, hope the weather isn't as cold where you all are as it is here in Bedfordshire!

    Anyway, this morning on my way to work I went to the supermarket as my face care range is running out rapidly, but instead of paying the usual £50 for the brand that I use I changed to supermarket brand which was at a third off and have saved already this morning in that one transaction a whopping £40.28. Very pleased with myself :)

    I have also checked my online banking
    and, will have a store cupboard dinner tonight

    Anyway, best go and get some work done, don't want to be sacked :)
    HAve a good day everyone
    Too much month, not enough Cash!

    Morning all

    I am exhausted after all the stress yesterday and am so glad that it is Friday - still have loads to do on my essay.

    I'm not going to put too much pressure on me today and this weekend but there are things that need to be done. Tonight is date night with OH - am really looking forward to spending some quality time with him. We might even splash out and go and watch a movie.

    Today I will
    • deposit money in bank account
    • chase DFS to see what they are doing about addressing the Loan
    • sparkle a little bit:o
    • check to see salary go paid into new bank account DONE
    Have a great day everyone

    Afternoon folks, OH off with me today so LSD went out of the window and I managed to spend £88 in sainsburys :eek: we are now so well stocked though, we shouldnt need anything for ages..apart from fresh stuff.

    Also spent £11.00 in the Laura Ashley sale but got the most gorgeous picnic basket..for when we have our fabulously hot summer! :D

    That is it for the spending now, back home,and we are spring cleaning and listing stuff on ebay.

    Have a great day everyone x
    Living as simply as we can
