Loved life a wee bit too much!

Its harder when its school hols, as everything on TV is aimed at kids, and the weather is never brilliant.

To me it sounds like your doing a brilliant job, and sometimes if we don't put that little treat in the trolley, or like lunch - no petrol for work same amount for lunch, if we lived a life of a say £1 a day for everything, the debt would disappear in no time, but could you imagine the frustration, the moods, the lack of everything, the 1st thing we'd do is raid anything and everything even if we didn't need it, so I say go girl as you are........ a few little mse treats go a long long way xx

Just reading that theres so many positives coming from it, your literally radient, - but putting it another way juggling the balls in the air, landing them in a different direction still get a treat.

hope you had a great day.

If you haven't got a pinatta - I've read somewhere that someone made one, sort of from a cereal box, hole cut into and that was covered with paper mache, think it was painted, covered in paper to look like spingebob square pants, - but you do any shape use a ballon as a mold, then burst it, add some sweets, then cover and paste over, save a fortune. xx

Hi thanls mum2one for your lovely comments.:)
I stuck to plan yesterday so i was pleased with that. I did look at pinatta's but decided against thanks for your idea about making one.
Nothing much planned for dinner at mil and fils and hoilday family meeting, my hubs has same hols as school and most package deals go mid week to mid week not sat to sat:cool:
we will sort something! Looking forward t the sun!! And my lovely friend gave me loads of lovely summer clothes so i am ok and dh just ds needs a few things.
When i was in toys r us yesterday i saw 2 things that i wanted to get ds but i held fire and i got the one £10 cheaper from a shop on ebay brand new and i am bidding on the other one if i win i will save £6 on that one also.
I also bought 2nd hand wii game for ds from his nan from amazon for the sake of cellophane i have saved £20 on that also!:T
My goodness i have become mse!!:money:.
