OK thanks busy at work so not been on here so much. Still got a bit of xmas stuff to sort but should be managable. Moneywise just trying not to go too mad and then see how things are in the new year. Spent just under £240 on new Lloyds shares at 37p so at some point next year Ill be able to make a good profit if I need to. Hoping to save these for the kids when they turn 18 as no other savings going there way.

Hello

Well bust week no1 over with. Had fun and not too expensive . Still got a bit of xmas shopping to do and have Monday off which will help. Its OH birthday but he says he is happy to go to Asda :j . Moneywise I did a budget for rest of the month and Jan and I and circa £400 down at worst so need to money save where possible/ Part is due to me spoling the kids and part the rights issue. Have £80 due from quidco and will have the 2 free council tax months to help held out. Worst comes to worst some shares will go. Looking to use my Tesco vouchers now I should sell on ebay but easier but less money saving to just use in store. This would knock almost £200 off my deficit.

All calm of the family front so hope thats continues!

Hope you all well

Hi KP glad you had a good weekend. Happy Birthday to your OH.

I can't wait for the council tax and water free months - thats my christmas present I think!

Mine arent too bad but DD2 has decided she wants a ROSY doll after she got rid of all her doll stuff for the second time a few months ago so getting pestered over that - little madam has even bookmarked a link to it for me!!

DD1 wants her hair cut and a coloured strip put in so thats her constant question - "Whens P coming round to do my hair?" - or the "Im getting my hair cut chant" Good news it will only cost me £5 for the hair dye.
