    i don't have a diary, but i like to post on others, i'm sure my life isn't interesting enough to warrant it's on diary.
    sorry to hear you're losing the budget, but at least they haven't told you in Dec you won't be getting it, that's what happened to me once. Now i work somewhere which doesn't give bonuses. booo!

    Helloooooooooooooooooooooooo didnt know you had a diary! You neither Mum2one.

    Definately writing it down helps alot and keeps you focussed. I often feel pressure, good pressure, to keep lovely diary reader peeps up to date and feel bad if I havent for a while!!

    Big hugs, now off to find mum2ones.............................

  • Evening all. Good day today, just went out with DS2 and DS3 spending their money. DS2 bought a new BMX with money he had from relatives for Christmas and DS3 bought a new Wii game with some of his money - its nice the kids spending their own cash and not mine!!!!

    I must confess I did go to Frankie & Benny's for lunch but my lovely mum kindly paid for that for having everybody round at Christmas.

    Lemon Tree, of course your diary would be interesting, if people read about my boring life I am sure they would read yours!!

    Delboy do you do all the online surveys etc. Bingobritain are doing a 30 day offer, if you sign up and deposit £5 they give you £5 a day to play with for 30 days. I won £25 yesterday and withdrew it immediately. Quite a lot of people on here have won well over £100 during the month.

    Hi Nottoobadyet, thanks for posting and good look with your debt busting.

    Hi Pipsmum, only started diary yesterday - yours is one of the diaries that inspired me to start my own, thanks!

    Last day off work tomorrow so need to get organised and get lots of cooking done. I am going to make lots of soups to take for lunch so no buying expensive sandwiches. Got loads of veg that needs to be used up including my favourite butternut squash which makes fab soup.

    Have a nice evening all.

  • Morning all! Last day off work today so really need to get motivated and achieve lots! Can't believe is 11.00am already and I am still in my pj's! Plan for today is to tidy my house which looks like world war 3 has broken out in Toys R Us, lots of cooking including lasagne, cottage pie, stew and soups to keep us going for a while so I don't spend too much in supermarket and then if I can faced it to start to list on Ebay. Has anybody sold on Amazon or Play? Had a quick look on Amazon and could not see how to do it. I also need to wrap up mum's pressies as she is 60 on New Years Day. Have a good day all. x
