Yukkibear - The debt free life begins with a whole new set of challenges

We have survived one birthday and only one to go. I have managed to aquire a £10 amazon voucher from using my amazon credit card and relaiming the points. That always gets paid off each month so no worry there. I think I will use that towards a xmas pressie or something.

We have enjoyed a weekend worth of sun which has been lovely. The credit card is still looking a bit scary but will work on getting that down. I have to sort my wardrobe this week so may find some ebay bits there.

DD has two birthdays this weekend and two next weekend. I bought a 36 pack of Peppa pig cards for £7.99 a couple of weeks ago so that will save on card prices, just had to buy pressies but stayed at £5 each.

Well, at least you're still posting y_b, and 1) your dd only has one birthday a year, 2) it's damn well near impossible to get rid of some of these weeds without weedkiller, and 3) you gotta eat! Hope you enjoyed your kebab!

Saw MIL today and she cooked us lunch. She also bought me a strawberry plant which is something I have wanted to try and grow for a while, so we'll see what fruits I get from that.
My Dad has made me some wooden troughs for my veg so may get some pea plants for that. Mum is also bringing OH some corn on the cob plants that he wanted to try and grow. We've got our own little mini garden going on now which is quite nice.

I went back to Dooyoo this morning and wrote my first review in two months. I was thinking if I can help the cost of xmas in vouchers then it must be worth the effort. Although if I could save enough for an ipod touch it would also be great lol.

It's been a really chilled out day today. I haven't left the house. I've been sorting DD's party bags and finishing off bits and pieces whilst OH has been washing the cars, staining the decking, cleaning upstairs.

I've been to MIL's for lunch today and as a result she paid for my milk that I needed to buy today and also gave me a huge pack of mince, that I have frozen for later use. I've left both kids with her and now I'll go to the gym this afternoon. Only four weeks until the Race for life now - eek
