    Been to the park and just finished lunch. Kids are now quietly playing. SO I am going to have a cupa and then hang another load of washing out.

    Then watch a film whist doing the ironing.

    Just paid off my additions...so thats my first debt 100% gone! I have been putting the money in my savings whilst its been 0% and this runs out soon so thought I had better pay it off.

    I always hang smalls very close to the house - if at all. Far better to dry them outside though - I've made a mental note to do that tomorrow.

    After years of dithering - due to trying to be Eco - I've only succumbed to a dryer in the last 6 months and I have to say it's a love affair I hope never ends :happyhear sad but true.

    My "smalls" are never ever doing on the line again!!!

    Been a busy day at work today, and by the look of the house the kids and Hubby have been equally busy!!

    Its a tip, so I am to bath the kids and get them to bed, and then get them in bed and have a half an hour mad tidy!

    Then at least I can sit down tonight in tidiness!! Also it wont take as long tomorrow to clean through.

    Hubby is at work, so I am either going to wax/epilade my legs....oh the joys or hoping a friend might pop round for wine and a gossip!

    Tomorrow is the big diet day...so I will not be drinking for a month!! :eek:
    I have also declined a night out with friends next week...this is not like me!!

    Right house is blitzed and the new eating has resumed!!

    I am so determind, I am also going to save money, as it means no wine, eating out etc and as I am paying with it out of my own pennies...I better stick to it as I will have no other money a month.

    Kids are playing ovely in the garden, so I am going to have a look at the budget and see what else I can cut!!

    Thanks Macgirl , I have quite enjoyed today.

    Loving having the kids at home and the sun has been shining. :D

    DS2 is snoring his head of, and DS1 is giving Britney a run for her money on Just Dance. :cool:

    I am going to iron (again)...I think maybe I need to donate my ironing basket to science...as it must surely have some multiplying groth thing going on !!

    Its Greys tonight tho, so I am off to catch up on last weeks hopefully it wont take too long.

    Off to whoop DS1's but with my Katie Perry dancing!!
