Morning Lula hun,
You're not a donut, I do wish that Thursday would arrive and that I can at least get one worry out of the way. DS's birthday party is on Saturday...36 kids :eek: I really hope that I can pull that one off! Ds's cake still hasn't arrived. If it's not here by Thursday I will be ringing the lady to find out where it is.
Will do a tally of my spending in a little while, it is rather shocking for today, at least tomorrow is a NSD.
Catch you all later x0 -
Evening all,
I knew that this week was going to be expensive but not quite as I hoped.
I spent: £42.00 on petrol, at least my car's full until DH get's paid again.
£45.64 on other bits including DS's party, parking, wet wipes, posting the parcel etc.
Not too happy about it but at least tomorrow will be a NSD, the only thing coming tomorrow is the shopping and I don't count that as it is already budgetted for...two weeks in and two weeks left til payday again.
Other news though, DD has been accepted for Pre-school in September
Aparently from then all 3 year old will be eligable for 15 hours a week as opposed to 12 hours currently and therefore she will go 5 mornings a week 
So I have a plan to make some money whilst I am at home in between school runs, I used to sew scatter cushion covers for a living and I am thinking of making some and selling them on e-bay as well as setting up my own website and doing made to measure ones.
First I need to sell more junk and reign in the spending but I figured we could put it on the c.c first and anything I make can then come off and thus bringing it down and eventually I will get rid of this debt and the c.c one.0 -

Morning,
Half way through the week, I remembered this morning that I said I’d ring my mum last night; bit late now so will drop her a text later.
Had an e-mail from Amazon to say that they are transferring £10.65 over to the current account :T, quite pleased with my little self, I know that I probably paid out about £4 in postage charges out of that but it still helps and we are clearing some space.
Today will be a NSD definitely as I have no where to go today, just got shopping being delivered today
So my plan is as follows:- Walk kids to school and back again…will take pushchair as no doubt DD will not want to walk back! - Done
- Washing…still not finished - Two loads on line and last load in washer now
- Put shopping away when it arrives
- Clean kitchen – must do as it is disgusting in there
Off to get showered and dressed, have a good day everyone.0 -

I also remembered that I need to pick up DH's prescription as it is regular medication he has I don't count the cost (£7.20) as it is normally part of the budget.
Kids walked well to school and DD didn't walk back, which I didn't think she would.
Need to make some spaghetti bolognese sauce for the kids tomorrow so will do that at the same time as getting the washing up done and the kitchen cleaned.0 -
Back for another update and probably the last one for the moment.
Managed to get all my chores done for today, I've got a couple of other bits I want to get done before DH gets home and inbetween that I need to bring the washing in and feed the kids.
As you know tomorrow is when DH has yet another operation on his eye, so that will write tomorrow off totally and then Friday is going to spent collecting DH and preparing the food for DS's party.
I will try and get an update done at some point over the weekend but if I don't get chance then it will be Monday.
Catch you all later.
