    Hi Shaun,

    Nope, DH hasn't forgotten (as if he'd dare) :rotfl: As a rule we don't do presents it was just a little something for him. DH got me a lovely card and we are going to watch a DVD later when the kids are in bed.

    Which bit? The dvd or the kids being in bed?? :rotfl::rotfl:
  • We have got some brilliant sunshine over here this afternoon, so I think that DS and DD can go out in the garden for a bit :D

    I have accomplished some of my list.

    DS has been given some anti-b’s by the doctor, we weren’t that late going to school afterwards so DS didn’t miss that much just the school assembly.

    DD and I have been to playgroup and shopping has been delivered and put away.

    I still have washing to put on and the washing up to do, they’re next on my list.

    I did ring up about the boot fair however it has been cancelled due to lack of interest :confused: they have only four people that are interested in a stall, so on to plan B which is to look for a local one over the next couple of weeks to do, I’ve got loads to get rid of.

  • It’s half term and the weather is pants! Bah!!

    Have checked the bank and things are really dire and we still have a way to go before DH gets paid again.

    This week is going to be as much of a NSW as possible. I have things planned with the kids that won’t include spending anything (as much as possible), I have a few errands to run today with the kids that will involve some money being spent.

    Today I have got £6.83 in my purse and am planning to make it last as long as possible and there is £3.50 aside in the money box in case it is needed not forgetting what is in the demi-john, which is also about a couple of quid.

    So my plan for today:
    • Post office to send parcel for Music Magpie and Amazon buyer
    • Boots – nappies and wet wipes (Points or gift card to be used)
    • Morrisons – Cereal and bananas
    • Find more stuff for e-bay to list
    • Find more naff c.d’s to trade with M.M
    • Make dinner for tonight – shepherds pie, will also provide lunch for kids and DH tomorrow
    • Make lunch for kids – spaghetti Bolognese, will also be enough to freeze
    • Housework stuff
    The only other cash that I am aiming to spend is on Thursday when I am taking the kids to London to see DH at site, that’ll be about £12 in total that day as both kids are free to travel.

    Have told DH that I am going to do a car boot over the next few weeks and he’s agreed, I think he’ll be glad to get rid of some tat too and will raise some cash.

    Have been thinking about DS’s party and instead of giving party bags, I thought I’d buy some colouring books and some crayons and a multipack bag of sweets and wrap those up for the guests; also I discovered lurking in the cupboard enough paper plates and napkins that’ll do for the party.

    Right off to get motivated otherwise I’ll be sat here when I shouldn’t.

    Have a good day everyone and will update later.
  • So my plan for today:
    • Post office to send parcel for Music Magpie and Amazon buyer - Done
    • Boots – nappies and wet wipes (Points or gift card to be used) - Couldn't use points as not enough or gift card as couldn't find it :mad:
    • Morrisons – Cereal and bananas - Done
    • Find more stuff for e-bay to list
    • Find more naff c.d’s to trade with M.M - Done
    • Make dinner for tonight – shepherds pie, will also provide lunch for kids and DH tomorrow
    • Make lunch for kids – spaghetti Bolognese, will also be enough to freeze - Done
    • Housework stuff - Doing

    Well this morning hasn't turned out to be a complete disaster, despite spending money which I was trying to save; it didn't get spent willy-nilly so not too disappointed.

    DS has gone to bed for a nap, first proper day of half term and he's in bed; bless him :)

    Managed to scrape more c.d's for Music Magpie and have got another £26 worth :D DH has said he's going to go through his lot and see what he wants rid of too. I am determined that we will declutter the house one way or another :)

    Right off to get DS up and get moving again.
