save instead of spend diary

Oh miemie, that is surely all your bad luck for the year!!! Cats are such ungrateful wretches.

Hope you are doing something nice just for you at the end of such a hard day - a nice sit down with a book, or a long bath, or a face mask, or a cup of tea and a teacake (mmm, now I'm hungry!).

Anyway, (((hugs))).

miemie

Thanks tara.

I decided to have an early night just wanted yesterday over:rolleyes:.

Not much going on today, have done scratchcards, put washer on, at work all day today so must go and make lunch and take fruit for snack.

OMG you're up so early! You should be proud of yourself. Hope today goes better than yesterday.

I had a little splurge yesterday - bought a bracelet in Argento that I'd been admiring for ages. It's £20, which I would have talked myself out of normally, but if OH is not trying hard enough with the savings then I may as well treat myself to a little something. I shouldn't really but I am still on track to save £10k this year to bring my total savings to £30k - OH will have about £10k so our deposit fund will be looking healthy.

If we did buy a house, how would it work with me having a bigger share of the deposit?

Morning
Tara regarding the bracelet we all need a little treat now and again and really £20 is'nt bad when you have saved so much and yes i get up early favourite time of the day, hubby at work and kiddies fast asleep its the only time the house is peaceful.

Sold an item last night on ebay for £7 and have 2 more items ending tommorrow,must hunt so more stuff out to sell.

scratch cards done all surveys in inbox done.

Today DD is riding so thats my morning gone and £20.
Need to do a mealplan for the week, so will check freezers and cupboards as trying to live out of those at the moment want to increase savings as soon as poss and this is one area i can cut back:D.

I MUST paint windowframe upstairs today,as i have a new blind that hubby needs to put up.

Bake chocolate cake and biscuits for the weeks lunchboxes.

Post ebay item.

miemie

Don't know where yesterday went, but i was completely useless and did'nt get much done(to much time on here i think).

Well i've painted window frame so hubby needs to put up blind,made a victoria sandwich but still need to make biccies,house looks like a bombs gone off and i've got a washing mountain to get through and i still need to do a meal plan.

Todays list

All washing to be washed, ironed and put away.
[STRIKE]NAG[/STRIKE] encourage hubby to put up blind
make biscuits
hoover/polish living room
sweep and mop through downstairs
look through school uniform see if i need any for sept.

Have done scratchcards for today and have 2 items ending tonight on ebay only have 1 bid at the moment though,see if i can find some more things to list.

miemie

Have listed 6 things on ebay, need to make some money everything feels stagnent at the moment and savings are not going up fast enough it's starting to get me down.

Hubby has put blind up and it looks fab, all washing done just need to finish ironing. hav'nt done any baking yet will do it when kiddies are in bed.

Sorted through uniform, ds is fine as i have 2 packs of 3 polo shirts in next size up and 3 pairs of trousers, dd needs a new skirt and pinafore dress, it helps that i buy bits of uniform during the year when i see in the sales so i never seem to have to buy loads in one go, both will need new school shoes and i always buy these in clarkes so that will be at least £40 i will check out the factory shop that is near to me and fingers cross that they have there sizes.
