Forgot to add, todays spends = £6.95 on lunch.

The rest of this evening involves some competitions and emptying my inbox of surveys / leaving ebay feedback etc. Then tomorrow we can get up nice and early and get cracking on the garage, hopefully leaving us enough time to go out somewhere afterwards

Sounds like a most acceptable day, even if it wasn't what you expected!

Well done to DS too!

Morning, I've just bought a bike :eek: It was £95 from tescos (halfprice) and has a detachable front wheel so can take it in the car up to the forest. I can collect it tomorrow after school and ds is very excited about it The money from the car boot next weekend will go towards it and then any extra will need to be made somewhere

Right, time to get dressed then crack on with sorting out the stuff in the garage

Thankyou both, I'm looking forward to getting the bike and using it when ds is at his dads too to help the fitness

The garage is basically sorted now, we've done one trip to the tip too. I have sooo many clothes to sell, probably do 50p an item, mainly kids stuff. I've sorted it all into ages and am going to wash it all this week as its been in the garage for a couple of years and smells a bit musty At least I know everythings ready and boxed, just need to load up the car next week and off we go. I've got loads of carrier bags just need to get some change by next week

We went to the local country park today and I hired a bike and ds had his, we cycled about 4 or 5 miles and it was fab, can't wait to get my bike now I spent £4.75 on the bike, £4.50 on the car park and £1.60 on an ice-cream each afterwards

Chicken is now roasting nicely in the oven, ds is playing, water is getting hot ready for a bath and I'm just chilling on here for 10 minutes, happy days

Hey BB.... fab news about the bike, we love going out in the forest with DD, she's taken off too, it's amazing how they just click isn't it! We bought a trailgator so I tow her to the forest as it's along that busy road upto Longdown Dairy farm, then just after the farm we're in the forest, we did 11 miles yesterday. We're both so lucky to live near the forest.

Anyway, we must arrange a day soon xx

Definitely Tigz, I've just been to collect my bike, now I need to try and build it before ds comes home from mums at 6

Postie brought me the other dress I bought from ebay, not sure about it, its a bit too big :j I do like it but not sure its very flattering. Will have a think about that, but could well end up putting that and the jeans back on ebay after all

Spent another £18 in tesco again tonight, needed bread and fruit and a new baking tray and a ne lunchbag for ds ... Need to keep an eye on the spends in supermarkets this month, getting a bit mad already.
