Skint Spice's journey to being less skinty and more spicy

Thank you Butti, I got to buy DS some new school shoes but on the upside we found some in the first shop so it wasn't a long shopping trip
And Z... he did buy me wine (and flowers) to go with the card... although hopefully his dad might have had a hand in it The flowers included seeds I need to plant though so that's tomorrow's project... Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

oops still not planted those seeds - tomorrow honest
!
Now heading towards the final stretch at work and slowing down seems out of the question, maybe next week... I suppose it's good they think I have enough integrity to still give a damn at this point but the sheer volume is interfering with the scanning of job websites;)Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Had a busy day in the garden with DS, paid to get some work done that I couldn't do myself but then there was lots of labouring for us afterwards... so we were both shattered after lots of heavy lifting, I went for a swim and sauna and he's gone to a friends for a sleepover - just hope he doesn't fall asleep around now, wee soul was a great help and didn't complain at all, bless him:A
Was an NSD apart from the expected and budgeted for bloke (who came in under quote), tomorrow I am taking back some trousers that just didn't suit me so hopefully I'll be quids up on the weekend:cool:
ooo, and I also actually remembered to take my £3 off £30 shop to Mr S yesterday so have been v well behaved this weekend:DMortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

DS went to bed at 3am and got up at 9:30 (which would have been 8:30)! obviously he gets his stamina from his dad... gave him a fiver today for helping out yesterday and was delighted to see his joy and utter surprise - doesn't ask for much wee soul, apart from lots of food...
Another gorgeous day up here, long may it last
oh and I may need to get a new job asap before my mother either drives me mad asking about it or finds me one!Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
