Have had a busy morning - been to post office 2 more parcels gone, have filled in forms for the missing parcel. I have 5 items to list on ebay which I will do one night this week ready for saturday evening starts.
Washing hung outside, house fairly tidy, pasta bake cooling down as we speak. Been to shop and have milk but forgot bananas so will go back later on. Tea sorted for tonight. So fairly on top of things at the mo.
Am going to walk into town tomorrow and pop to primark and buy some gloves and socks to put away for the colder weather. Should be nice and quiet since all kids back at school.
Heres how the budget looks - Food money in house £37
Family money - £175 - little one really is ready for a booster so got a good deal on one and it was delivered today. Not budgetted for be was needed and worth the £35!
Aims for week - Make at least £25 to knock my credit card down to next £100, find some more bits to list, sort out cupboard, dig out xmas cards and start a xmas list. x

Having a quiet pottering sort of day today. Slow cooker on with chicken casserole, homemade sausage rolls cooling. Washing out and another load in. Just going to sweep floors hoover and then pop to post office. While little one is napping later am going to change beds and do some ironing. Have checked banking against spending diary and all looks ok. Am going to list last few bits on ebay to start sat since everything this week has been paid for and posted. I also used £15 of my paypal money to pay all ebay fees so it wont come out of my account. Have had Next items refunded which knoked £65 back off the bill just waiting for one further item to be refunded now.
Spent £3 is shop today on carrots and bananas, am going to skip a takeaway tomorrow and buy/make pizzas instead. Hope everyone is well x

Well might have some good news - fingers crossed - I have been offered a few hours working for another company - just need to sort some childcare out now lol. This would really improve my SOA and things would be easier it would only be 2 days per week which is fab. So will see how things go.
Would be lovely to have credit card paid off by end of next year and try and have a little holiday!
Well back to the money saving - today I have
- been for some shopping and bought pizzas rather than have a takeaway. Done 2 loads of washing but cant hang out due to pouring rain. Last night 5 items listed on ebay. Checked online banking and accounts which are all ok.
Need to get some lunch, wash up and feet up for a hour whilst little one naps! x
