    Hello diary,

    The weather is totally totally pants today, just got absolutely soaked when I popped out! I do have a rain coat but it leaks, so ive ordered myself a new one from Grattan. Only £40 and it looks pretty decent and I will pay it straight off with my own personal spending money.

    I did not want to get out of bed this morning and I even thought it was Saturday, bad times :(!

    Walked to work this morning so £2.60 saved and 1 hr 15 mins of exercisee done.

    NSD9 woohoo!!

    Payday in 10 hours woohoo :T. Argh im too excited for payday, come on 10 hours!

    Oh a friend also sent me a job through in a School so thats another I need to apply for 2. So thats 2 to do before the end of the week now, will start on it tonight.

    Think thats all!! x

  • Isn't the weather terrible, it makes everybody feel low. It doesn't look like there will be any let up in the weather so your new raincoat will certainly come in handy.
    My shoes leaked this morning (the one's I taped up a few weeks ago) I didn't tell anybody at work tho, just changed into my work shoes and kept smiling.
    Good luck with the job applications........countdown to payday!!xx

    Oh Alice were a right pair arent we! Will post in your diary about some shoes I think would be suitable for you.

    Well im on with appl form no 1, its not going well!! Ive done about half of it so tomorrow I will have to pull my socks up and get it completed and submitted. Then il start the other, no point in having 2 on the go. Might even try and get up early and do some before work but I actually cant see that happening :rotfl:!! x

    Hello diary,

    Well payday has been and gone! Everything has been paid except for the credit cards which I will do next week then update my signature which will be over 50% :T.
    I spent an absolute fortune yesterday:

    £52 in the local farmshop (have all the meat for the month plus dog food)
    £61 Mr M's on all the bits inbetween
    £26 Mr T's on an iron and DD1 some new wellies as hers were leaking
    £67 :eek: on petrol!

    The cupboards, fridge and freezer are absolutely brimming now which gives me such a sense of happiness :cool:! Im hoping for a small spend week next week, then perhaps a £40 one then a smaller one again before the next payday.

    Just transferred £5.02 from a survey co and paid my ebay fees of about £1.90. Going to leave the remaining £3 in there and then when op world pay out il which im hoping will be within the next week il probably treat us all to a McD's or something.

    Ive transferred the ex loan money into the joint account but DD desperately needs some new school trousers... theres always something is there! So ive said to DH that the money will come from that. Im happy for her to plod along for the remainder of term since shes got skirts and dresses but DH said no!

    Plans for my spending money are some new mascara which is over £10! Might have to look for a cheaper brand but I do really like the one I use! Moisturiser, a new outfit, coat (which ive ordered) and 2 nights out (1 which is a meal). Thats all it will stretch to but I think thats quite a bit!

    DH's PPI cheque should have cleared today so his bank account will be looking fantastic today!!! He hasnt decided what to spend it on so is transferring to his ISA which is a good plan.

    I never got the application form done, I didnt feel the job was right for me. Will fill in the other though, the closing date is next week and I want to nail this one so will spend the weekend doing it.

    No exciting plans for the weekend! Catch up soon xx

    Hi Mummy,

    Hey well done on 50% thats fab!

    Do you feel better for your spends? I love having new clothes and cosmetics, maybe that was my downfall ha ha.

    When I am out of my current situation I am going to open some ISA's, I have one which just has holiday savings in and it paid out £11 this month. Thats a new mascara lol.

    Aww Livvy totally loving my spending money! Popped into town at lunch for some of those brightly coloured skinny jeans. Saw some on Primarni for £11 but they are a 32inch leg which is too long for me and they looked silly on me :rotfl:! Anyway bought myself leggings, dress, cardi, belt and tights instead!! So the belt is revamping a dress from last year, very MSE at £3 :money:. Oh I also bought one of those bun rings for my hair aswell, cant wait to try that out!! Apparently theyve got some kids ones but I didnt see those. My little minis would look supercute with one of those in!!

    Will probably pop in next week for some mascara as im not desperate for it just yet.

    Very happy mummy, hello weekend :D xx

    Aw, I got some red skinnies but I have the opposite problem, my legs are 33 inch and long are 32 but extra long 34" so I have had to turn mine under lol. I have a ring but can't do it, will master the thing at some point.

    Reckon your minis will look so cute with a ring in each, especially for dancing.

    And ive just sat down phew :cool:!

    Got home, tried on my new outfit whilst tea was cooking! Its looks nice so might wear it tomorrow weather depending. Also had a go with the bun ring and it defo needs some mastering! I can kind of do it so hopefully it wont take too long. Done the ironing and hung it all away. Bathed the kids, and cleaned the top floor of the house and 2 bathrooms. DH is going to put the kids to bed after Ben and Holly and then hes going to take over with the rest.
    Also on my second load of washing of the evening.

    Plans for the weekend are:

    • keep the house tidy!
    • wash all bedding
    • filing
    • visit from Dad
    • possible visit from sister and her dog for a dog walk
    • town on Sunday for DD's uniform and DH some new tshirts
    So a busy but nice mix for the weekend. Pancakes for breakfast tomorrow :D xx

    Yay for payday, spending on nice things and the ppi. Sounds like you have a hectic weekend planned with everything on your list. Mine just includes work which is slightly less exciting lol.

    Enjoy x
