Hi Mummy, thanks for popping in.

I really hope I can keep it in budget or else its just going to throw the rest of the month out!! DH is also getting giddy requesting lots of choc, nuts etc!! I also want to get some beer and wine in so I can see it being up to budget if not over!!

Well im too late for second class but think il send them second class anyway hahaha!!! Whos to say they wont get there, theres 5 more delivering days.

Ive also just looked at my sky bill online as I knew it was coming up for my deal ending. Its going to go up £5 a month from end of January. Think il leave it at that until August when I think it will go up again as they made some changes and froze my price. If it goes up massively I will call then.

Hi mtg, hope your feeling brighter today, i would also post the cards second class.

I spent £124 in sainsbgs yesterday and have still managed to forget things and will need to go to tesc* tomorrow, christmas is so blinking expensive.

Morning diary, not long got up ooppss! DH fed the girls and went off to work at 8am. They then jumped in to bed with me and we chilled out for an hour. Feels good haha!!

Hi Pennywise, woah to the £124!! How much do you reckon you need to spend in Mr T's? I hate it when that happens anyway!

Well im just having my cuppa and crumpets then we will get dressed and have a wonder down into the village.

Managed an op world survey last night, so getting a bit nearer the payout. Still feel they are very slow though. Hope they pick up in the new year as im desperate to earn some extra money towards DD's party so we dont have to spend it out of the joint account.

Dont think ive anything else to report really. Will catch up soon xx

Not sure thinking around £20 mark, thing is we are not even at home for christmas, thnk it might of been cheaper to stay home.

Afternoon diary,

Well ive done all of todays jobs. Just put the grey/blues round the radiators as it was getting a bit chilly so ive put the heating on for an extra hour.
Meant to say yesterday was a NSD(6), today was a spend day.

£2.14 on 6 2nd class stamps
£1.14 on sweets for the kids
£3.49 on milk, bread and reduced pain au chocolat in the co-op

I drew out £10 at the post office and then put the change into my sealed pot which is on going until the end of Jan when I will restart it.

Waving hi to Pennywise and Mummy. Must be the day of chilled out kids Mummy!! Mine never just chill out, mind you they had been up and fed earlier.

My friend has just been round and we exchanged the kids presents on the sly :T. Shes just left and now im just waiting to start tea now, im starving!!

This evenings jobs are:

• work for 2 hours to make up the shortfall for this week.
• get the kids lunch and tea ready for tomorrow as theyre at mil's.

Think thats it for now. Looking forward to getting everything finalised on Thursday. Need to do the big shop and theres just 2 more bits I need to buy. Also need to pop in to town Thursday and buy some batteries from the pound shop. They are really good ones and only cost £1 for about 10! So after ive done the shop, il wrap the remaining bits and then I think I will be feel more in the mood.


Catch up soon xx

Hello diary,

Popping in for the final time tonight, feel absolutely shattered so will be getting showered and ready for bed soon.

Ive done the other jobs I had to do. Did 1 hours work earlier and 1 hour just now. Also got the kids stuff ready. I was very MSE earlier I needed to boil pasta for the kids tea tomorrow and we are also having pasta when we get home. So I boiled it all together, save me doing it tomorrow :money:.

Ive also been looking at my shopping list and ive wrote in big letters BOGOF on the top of my writing pad! My plan is to get as much on offer when I go shopping to double up for another meal in January.

Ive also done a quick meal plan up to 12th January so I can see what I need to buy etc into January.

Ive recently gone part time at work (knew it was happening) and until the big loan is paid off (end Feb) the only thing I can cut back on is the food shopping so im trying to be creative!!

Hi Mummy

I haven't done my big xmas food shop yet, I'm waiting until Friday. I haven't done a list yet and unfortunately DH and the kids always have to come with me so the bill shoots up. I've bought wine, beer and soft drinks already so we only need food.

Hope you're feeling better xx
