    Kirsten - thanks for the nagging. Doesn't start until next monday though so please nag me then!!!!! ;P

    Well..busy busy busy as ever. BUT things are getting done slowly but surely.

    Not confident on car boot at weekend - is probably last one that will be worth while and weather forecast isnt great but we'll see. Will be having a chat to OH tonight to see what he thinks. Otherwise i could get started with freeads for some of it. :rolleyes:

    Done banking and scratchies. OH wages in - less than usual becuz he took an days unpaid leave for DS :rolleyes: but as he has been doing lots of overtime it was only about a tenner less than his basic wage so not too much damage thankfully! Need to pay rent and catologue which i'll do a bit later as think OH has my bank card!

    OH is just working working working atm which is good as money is good but not good on the family quality time front. He just says to get the money in when he can. I know he is right but I don't want him to wear himself out!!!! :eek:

    Got lots of ideas in mind for xmas just need some cash :rotfl: and can get sorted.

    Plan for today is work work work for me - DS is at playgroup. I need to catch up on my work desperately so will be focusing on that today along with DS obviously :D

    Yay its friday :j

    Done banking and scratchies. Nothing in or out of the banks today and 10p on scratchies so bit boring but done at least.

    Decided we would go with car boot on sunday as its probably our lst chance and weather is better on sunday anyway.

    Still focusing on catching up with work - i've got so far behind its not even funny :o

    Have a good day all!!! :D

    Oops Kirsten....don't forget free caasssshhhh!!! :D

    Its saturday!! :j:j

    Done banking and scratchies. Nothing in or out today so fairly boring and just 10p again! :rolleyes:

    Plan for today is work work work. We are doing car boot tomorrow as long as it isnt raining in the morning, forecast is good so fingers crossed. If its raining will do some free ad listings to get rid of some of the bigger stuff! We'll see......

    Nothing else going really. Must crack on! Need to start getting back into freebies and comps - i did a few last night but need to get back into seriously. So much to do so little time....

    have a good weekend all!! Hope the rain goes away...... :rolleyes:

    Ahh...its monday again... DS hasnt figured out clocks yet so was up at 6.30. Oh well at least it means im up and moving :rolleyes:

    Done banking and scratchies. All okay. Got some of my wages in today a week early :confused: not complaining but for a moment i thought i had a secret deposit :rotfl:

    Got letter from electric confirming my payment plan details - ive only got to make 2 payments of 50 quid now but they have sent a cleverly worded letter which says they will take 50 every month forever :eek: Yeh right...like i'm going to let that happen :cool::D The really are robbing.....

    We didnt do car boot yesterday as it was miserable so need to have a think about what can do about that...any ideas?????

    Also it is the first day of my make £30 thing....might have to look at bingo! :rolleyes:

    Plan for today is

    1/work - lots of
    2/DS :D
    3/cleanin
    4/docs later
    5/deal with post
    6/sort out paperwork in conservatory
    7/sort out plan for week

    hope everyone is having a good day!!!!!

    Morning!

    I felt yesterday was a productive day...didn't do a huge amount of work but got several other things sorted out from odd job list. My dad also came round as he wanted me to help him with some stuff and i did that as well so all in all was an okay day.

    Done banking and scratchies - got £1 today :j Other than that not much going on banking wise. Its getting to the time of the month when all the DDs go out so looks okay at the moment.

    Haven't made any progress on the £30 a week thing yet. Will do though but i want to get some work done first before i start messing about with that :rolleyes:

    Our tumble dryer should be delivered in the next hour or so, so once it does....let the washing commence :rotfl::o

    done an online shop for bout 90 quid. Thats under budget for 2 weeks so is okay but it doesn't look much :eek: We'll see.....

    Think we have decided that will try for a car boot this weekend - some of our friends are doing one so thought we might as well go together and it gives us both some much needed motivation :rolleyes:

    Plan for today -

    1/DS
    2/WORK WORK WORK
    3/odd job list
    4/deal with post
    5/tidy paperwork in conservatory :o

    Hope everyone is having a good day!!!

    are there any indoor bootsales in your area BH, they tend to fill up better, espescially as the winter draws in, and people want a bargain but they want a dry one lol

    might be worth a shot!!

    hmm...kirsten...not sure. I'll ask around about indoor ones but i don't think so though! Shame as sounds like the perfect solution.

    Well...wednesday here already....these weeks just fly by.

    DS and I are having a halloween craft day today in prep for the party tomorrow so lots of pumpkins to carve. I'm going to look up a recipe for the pumpkin as my OS side thinks I cant throw out that much pumpkin. Pumpkin sooooup me thinks!! Yummy!!!! :D

    Banking all seems okay today. Nothing in or out - just sat there waiting for DDs tomorrow. scratchies threw up a life changing 10p. Woop woop! Every little helps.

    Plan for today is

    1/washing !! (getting the tumbler working lol)
    2/DS DS DS
    3/sort paperwork on side
    4/deal with any post
    5/odd job list
    6/work later.......

    Hope everyone is having a good day!!!
