    Well we had a lovely picnic. The British weather came out in force and it was freezing and rained as we were walking home, but it was a good day all the same.

    No money making here today and spent a fiver on ice creams. Also need to write a dooyoo review haven;t been there all weekend.

    That's not like you Jen not to have made anything extra! Well done on transferring so much to the isa though.

    I am waiting for a few bits to hit my bank account this week, but am also spending a bit this week which is unfortunate but has to be done. DD2 is getting a new bed ready for when she goes out of her cot, and I have bought a new henry hoover at the weekend as Homebase had them reduced plus a 15% voucher so that was a bargain, and I needed a new hoover.

    Have some bits to sort through and photograph for ebay today and then it's the dentist again this afternoon :(

    Ah hope its not too bad at the dentist yukki.
    Jen you know you were on about selling your car and getting a newer one because of the government scheme, you might already know this but you dont have to have owned the car for 10 years just have a 10year old car that you have owned for a year.

    hi all,

    Yeah i thought about the car thing but i want my cash for a house more then a car so i recon i will spend between 2-3 K on a car and the rest on a house!

    I am disappointed with my crap money making total for this month so far i need to pull my finger out but i feel really sick today!

    Thanks Stacy the dentist was fine, didn't hurt one bit today as only had a little hole filled behind my front tooth. It's the next two weeks that are going to be horrid as it's a tooth out each time - eek.
