pammyj74's MFW diary (or possible wishful thinking!!)

Have OP'd another £200, realised its a 5 payday month this month so the extra has gone towards towards the mortgage with some ebay profit.
EMFD is now feb 2020 :j

Have ordered a few things from thetoyshop for chrimbo, paid with paypal too Also bought new recordable freeview for DS's room from argos outlet so another few pressies bought not from my pocket

BIG news of the day, I managed to finally fix our wii, i had been trying for months then saw another thing to try and hallelullah it worked. I was minutes away from buying a new wii. I am so chuffed.

Have decided DD can have a party next month, although it will cost £99 its less hassle than having it at home. I am taking them to the place tomorrow to test it out.

Have also booked our caravan hols for next year lol £350 for 1st week of summer hols at the skeggy butlins site. 8 berth caravan, looks really lovely inside.

Thats a great price for the caravan Pammy, we went to the skegness butlins for a weekend this may just gone. There is a great free funfair with big rides that the kids loved and there will probably be some Xfactor/britains got talent type show on in the holidays which the kids might like.

Yes I am hoping there is a lot for them to do there. I did have a look, the swimming looks good. kids love slides etc.

Had a company come round to quote me to put freeview aerial in DDs room (as I am getting her a new tv for xmas) and they quoted £65+vat. I then put a request on freegle cafe to see if anyone knew someone that could do it cheaper and a member has offered to do it for half that price. while this is much better I am a worrier that they might not do it properly and of course they are a stranger and not part of a company. What are peoples thoughts?

Personally I'd go with the company and pay the little more for peace of mind.

I have been thinking that, this man has been saying to put a splitter in and run the cable under the carpet but the rooms are not next to each other.

went to kids play today. although a bit expensive at £7 a child and £2 for adults to sit there, I went to look and see if it was ok for DDs party. I booked online and saved myself £3.50 and also in sept you can come back and play for free within 7 days so we will go back again next saturday. Have booked the party, cost £76 as I didnt think much to their party bags so will do my own.
We spent FOUR hours there! (got my moneys worth hahaha) And kids could have stayed longer but we were hungry and I had bbq ribs for tea

Oh Pammy please don't get some random off t'internet in...I know we're all randoms off t'internet, but you see what I mean?

Could you pm me the company Pammy, either here or on PTS? I need aerial points put in both DS and DD rooms, as bought bargain tv/dvd combi's from tesco earlier in the year, and was planning on giving them for christmas, so need to start thinking about it (and saving up! ).

Ebay has done double what I normally do as I have added more items which is good as had a few bits to pay out this month, 2 birthdays, a birthday party, a holiday deposit, the extra aerial socket install, cubs fees, drama fees and I am sure there are more things I have forgotten. If it wasnt for ebay I dont know how I would have done it!
