Went into town to do Christmas shopping for kids, we found it hard to spend the money there was just nothing ds would be interested in that he hasn't already got! Dd still very young so only got 1 from us 1 from ds and one from Santa (ds still unsure).

Got MIL a birthday pressie and bumpped into my mother grrrr.
Halfway through my week off more gardening tommorow can just about see the end of the garden now woohoo. I still hate gardening!!

Good to hear you have nearly finished the garden, bet it loks tons better already and well done to you both for starting your xmas shopping!! Did you hear anything from any of the jobs yet?

Snowmoredebt

Not heard anything about the jobs will keep applying, I'm going to ask a mate to look at my CV he used to work in recruitment.

I managed to duck out of the gardening today :-) spent £170 on shopping our budget each month is £200 so we have £30 for rest of month for milk and bits.

Went swimming today with OH and kids which was good fun now having chillie con carne for tea before doing nothing for rest of evening.

Hi

Received some really nice items off of freecycle today for the wedding OH is really pleased as all correct colours etc they left all the receipts in the boxes and they didnt have a wedding on a budget!! Will work out what we budgeted for these items and adjust and add to the signature in monentry terms as saved towards the big day. I LOVE FREECYCLE some really generous people out there

Nipped into a local cheap shop today and picked up a few stocking fillers for DS hes getting excited already :rolleyes:

DS had an open evening at the school tonight hes doing really well and now hes in year 5 hes becoming less shy and joining in more which is brilliant, I believe his tutor has aided this shes given his lots of confidence and worth every penny :j

Hi Snow, wow I'm so impressed you are doing great!! Have you heard from toys r us yet? I have got my fingers crossed for you.

You're right there are a lot of generous people out there and it's refreshing to hear positive things instead of all the negativity that is forced down our throats everyday (I mean through the media etc) wow that's a little deep for me :rolleyes: but fab news about the wedding items, what did you get and what colours are you going for??

Hi skint

The colour scheme is darkish purple, ivory with lots of sparkly crystal :rolleyes:

We collected a tiara, shoes, hair pins and craft wire with receipts totalling £190 , OH only budgeted £90 for all of these so I added £90 to the wedding fund in signature.

I don't expect to hear from toysrus for a week, I felt really old at the group interview:o and did I miss a new interview dress code? Hoodies, tracksuit, jeans and even trainers I felt old (26!) and overdressed

We took DS to Plymouth hoe to see fireworks and the huge bonfire. Guy Fawkes looked like a Santa ontop of the fire being burnt!!! It was a really nice night.

oooooooooh I love purple what a great start for the wedding, it's good to see the progress on your finances in your sig.

I know what you mean about the interview dress codes, I wonder if it's people not really wanting a job but must show willling (Prob through the job centre, to carry on getting benefits) I would never dream of going to any interview dressed like that. Make sure you keep us updated with it.
