A bit brain dead so just a quick update
Been naughty over last three days. £6 mcds wed,5 Burgerking Thurs. I can claim 9 back but not till next month. 53 Diesel buts thats ok lots ofbusiness miles to do. £40 taken out account by OH for a birthday pressie and shopping for DD1 school socks. Was supposed to be 30 but machine had no 10s. So socks I guess 5, swimming for DD2 this morning was 7 but no money spent on nephew so OH has £28ish left - well should have. Also he hasnt given me £30 of the 120 that was due :mad: unlikely to see that so another 30 down :mad:.
What annoys me is DS needs a new PS2. So I was concerned as he wants a bike for Bday. Decided to buy bike for xmas and second hand PS2 for BDay. Thats good but when speaking to OH about cost of PS2 he said well I can help out :mad: what with my flaming money?
Anyways back to spends. Went to pub for lunch and spent about a tenner. Have updated totals below as best I can but will do another update tomorrow.:j0 -
Oooops to be fair to OH forgot chip chop chips for dinner last night so 3-4 gone there and 2 for bday card. Should get money for nephew from OH later.:j0

Would be if he wasnt despErate to play the "new" games he got from Nanny last week. We asked him and he said he would rather have the PS2 first. Also if I get it second hand I can afford a party for him. He wants another bowling party which iS easy for us but at 9 a head adds up quickly.:j0

Goodish news. I kept shopping this week down to £47 rather than the normal 60-80. Couldnt resist topping up some extras that were on special offer.
DD1 got treated to dinner and skating today. DD2 is at a sleepover agin with dinner. Dropped off some clothes to sis for nephew and got my birthday pressie so a yummy box of chocs to munch on.
:j0 -
Pass the choccies hun.
£9 a head for bowling:eek:

Oh heck, didn't realise that bowling parties were £9 ahead, DD wants one next yr,......
This yr, shes haveing her party at local sports centre, £45 inc 2 hrs, 2 staff to arrange the party games, and a bouncy castle for the 2nd half of the party.
I'm doing the food, bit of a pain, but sent out menu choices, saves wasting food.
Estimated the food for 30 kids + adults (have to cater for those staying), £40
The party bags, (done 30) just incase everyone says yes, that worked out £40.
We raided Woolworths when they were closing down and home bargains, I feel mean if I don't let her have a party, but the money could be put towards something else.
Told her if she has a party nxt yr, be the minimum number of kids!! xxxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0
