Jamiedodger's 2010 Journey

JAMIEDODGER

Morning all:)

Just got woken up by a cat who obviously thought I had had enough sleep!

Off to cineworld again today! DD's dad is not coming over to see her today, long story but I am really annoyed :mad: and so taking her to watch Tinkerbell to make it up to her as the boys are all at their dads today.

No NSD for me again today! Nevermind, I am hoping to have a couple next week. I usually end up having more NSD later on in the month, when everything has gone out of my account and most things are paid for and I am watching the pennies before the new month starts:)

Hope everyone has a good day, I am off for a browse and more tea:D

Enjoy the cinema with DD - I am painting again today, and starting to get a bit fed up of it! But the place is looking better so I will persevere for now!!

JAMIEDODGER

I must get back into the painting again! I really need to do the front room, with all the work that I have had done in there it still looks like a work in progress, a lick of paint will make it look much better! I find it very therapeutic too:)

I find it generally therapeutic too, but because of the amount I have been doing recently I am finding it more than a little tedious now!

I have decided on a Stay at Home day tomorrow. Housework and baking with a NSD thrown in for good measure. Have just checked the fridge and freezer list and there is no need for me to buy milk/bread until wednesday (so hopefully 2 NSD in a row).

Need to make:

Cakes and Twinks
Cook up some JP's in the remouska

This should last us until shopping day:) May even stick the JP's in later today if I get a chance (DS1 lives on these). But I do need a serious baking session.

Happy Monday Everyone!

DD loved 'Tinkerbell' at the cinema yesterday! The film was really good. Spent £8.70 (ticket and kids box, which at £3.10 was pretty reasonable) Nipped into Tesco on the way home (big mistake) and spent £4.58 on some fruit and a few other bits, which could have waited until my shop on wednesday. oh well. Total now £26.92 and £273.08 left in budget with 24 days to go so still within target:)

Baking and housework today. DS2 is back to school and his uniform has finally arrived. DS1 back on full timetable tomorrow!

Happy Monday to you too.

Morning all:)

£80 paid to cc for 100 day challenge this morning leaves £470 to find, doing well:)

NSD yesterday so happy about that too. makes 3 so far. Not sure if today will be or not yet. Going to see a friend this morning, will be really nice to catch up, her babies are due any day now, twins how exciting:)

DS2 settled in nicely back to school yesterday, hopefully this will continue, DS1 is back on full timetable from this morning so thats it they are all back now until october half term, I need to start thinking of things to do with them that week (not too costly I hope).

My trip to London is drawing closer:D Looks like I am going on my own now as I don't think my friend can make it. Have been checking out all the places I am going to visit, very excited!!

I have no idea why I woke up at 4.30am this morning! I will be tired later! Off to do rest of banking and adjust spreadsheets.

Have a lovely day everyone!

4.30am.....bleurgh!!

Enjoy your day with your friend and well done on the continuing payments - under £500 us such a milestone!!

JAMIEDODGER

Not up quite so early this morning but I was so tired by last night!

Managed my NSD so total at 4 now:j

Banking and spreadsheets done this morning and another £10 to credit card, so £460 to go for the 100 day Challenge. Quidco is showing at over £10 now so I will pay that of the card when it gets paid out.

Won't be a NSD today as I need to go to Tesco. I don't need a huge amount of stuff actually as still have loads in. The usual bread/milk/fresh stuff. Kids only been back two days and already I have noticed the food lasting longer, so here's to hoping that I can make the GC this month underbudget:)

Had a lovely time with my friend yesterday, she looks really well, the twins are due at any time so I can't wait to hear what she has!

Off to cinema tonight to watch Salt, won't cost me to get in as I have an unlimited card, so any spends will be on a drink etc but I get cashback as I have registered my debit card with Quidco for their In-Store cashback deals:T

Only two days back to school and the requests for money have started, have written a cheque for a school trip for DD for £4.80, they are going for a walk in the woods! £4.80! What?? I guess it must be for the coach!

Not much left to come out of the bank this month, as most of my DD's come out at the beginning and a couple at the end. A few more planned expenses to pay for then I will start tucking the rest of the money away for my trips to London:D

Have a great day everyone x
