Hi everyone! Im finally in my own place! My own flat! Gosh this moving things is expensive! Ive been getting bits and bobs but in true moneysaving style have utilised vouchers and freebies and hunted for bargains. An expensive weekend however with friends getting married and birthdays you name it. So now is the time to get the last few bits for the flat this week and sort out the finances.
If anyone can offer any help, advice, ideas pls do PM me. Im going to start by trying to be on here as much as I can. I have a lot of debt to clear and lots of bills will coming through.
I hope you are all doing well and forgive my slackness in being on here!
Please tell me all whats been happening!!

Hello!!
Mogchops, we might have seen eachother yesterday without knowing it!!
Today the school stuff hunt has continued. I got most of the stuff courtesy of Curly. Still need PE shorts, coat and PE kit bag. I am driving past Mr A at some point next week so will try to get them there.
Otherwise nothing else to report, normal clickies, meals from stores, only spend was ice cream in city, polo shirts (Mr A and MnS didn't have DD's size) and some milk. Will carry on translation work after DD in bed (have done one quarter of it so far)"Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

I know, how mad is that!!!! Gosh it was busy though, we weren't able to do the safari park until late afternoon, but it was fine, we did pets corner/parrot show, boat trip, inside house, motion simulator & adventure castle, and we are going back another day to do the rest!! Its only just over an hour away, so will be another nice (hopefully quieter!) day out to do the maze, the railway, the bats, & whatever else we decide!!0
