Pinky's Happy ever after diary! 2010

lauhen

You put me to shame with all the cleaning you do, most of the time I can't be bothered and when I do the kids mess it straight back up again.
Today I am in a can't be bothered mood, I'm tired. So I have done very little.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Now girls thats where you put away all the messy things you 3 little darlings pull out, wipe off all the sticky finger prints and put away ready to pull out again lol!
Well managed all floors and hoovering, kitchen not too bad - I have been vv naughty though and got a takeaway pizza for tea - feel free to yell at me lol - I will really enjoy it tho!!mmmmmmmmmmmm
Homework for kids all done 2 in bed and one on way, I have a couple of little jobs to do and off to bed. I have a really busy day tomorrow including 3 hours overtime so hopefully it will go quickly. Still on track at the mo to pay £400 off credit card which will take us to below £4000 so am pleased with that. DH also has some more overtime lined up and has taken to writing hours in my diary also to give me an idea of how much extra I have towards the debt - this is helping keep me motivated.
A few bits selling well on ebay so hoping the lot will go to a good home!

Well fairly knackered and feel carp. Got up at 4am for a few bits in the boots sale but as with others bloomin thing kept crashing was sooooo disappointed!!!When DH popped into local boots there was nothing left!!!:mad: Phoned up to complain about website but as long as they sell there stuff I dont spose they give a s**t!

Anyway rant over now. Had a manically busy day am soooooo tired so off to bed shortly. Made £30 towards Next bill from ebay tonight so will be packing and posting tomorrow afternoon!
DH got another couple hours of overtime so should get a nice bit this month! Need to quickly relook at meal plan for week as I need some milk and fruit but am hoping we can scratch tho till payday!

Hi pinky,

I have carefully avoided the boots sale, online and in the shops, since I am doing a "no new stuff....challenge, so I didn't want to give in to temptation!:rotfl:

Never mind, there will be another sale along soon!

Had a good morning today until post dropped through door our sky bill was £79 nearly died:mad: So DH going to look at it tonight am half inclined to get shot of land line sky and the lot!! So will have to revise our budget again for next month - could have done without that one.
Am still on track to make payments off credit card - but into overdraft by £80 so am really cross with myself about that - anyway onwards and upwards!:D

Well had a nice day today. Have been pricing up bathrooms today as we are desperate for a new one am hoping when DH does a big stint of overtime we can afford one and do the work ourselves - we will see. Little one was really funny and kept asking 'are we havin a bath at the shop?' she kept trying to climb into the baths. A couple more bits are selling on ebay which I am pleased about. Need to do a bit of work tomorrow around the house and then off for lunch at MIL - which is always yummy!

Well tomorrow I will get my tax credits and have budgetted £200 of these to credit card. So I am going to give this money to mum (wont get spent then lol), then once pay goes in on friday I can add more to this total and DH will go pay the money off and I can update my sig - yey.
My new weekly budget of £100 per week starts next week also. Went a bit funny last month so will promise to try harder. I have £40 in paypal towards Next bill so once I have a bit more I will tranfer over to this bill. I am still waiting (5mths:mad: now) for £90 from quidco, it has tracked but no payment date I really wish they would hurry up. DD2 needs new shoes also so will budget for these and it is DS bd soon so will try and put a little bit away each week from my weekly spending budget. I needed some t-shirts and bits for the kids for the summer - mum paid for these for me - what a star:A.
Today - MIL for dinner
Daily scratch done
I need to list 4 items on ebay & wrap up 2 to post - and check paypal.
Have a good tidy round
Ironing - done!
Homework & reading with the kids.
Have a look round for a good price for a bathroom - sainsburys had some for £170 has anyone ever had one from here - are they any good??? x

Hi pinky,

good going on the ebay front. We got our bathroom suite from focus, for about £200, very basic white model, looks great. You could always ask your mil or mum to get an over 60 card from b&q or focus, and get them to get suite for you, I think they get an extra 10% off if you buy on a tuesday (not sure of exact days, but I am sure both shops do special oap, offers) might be worth looking into.
