    Evening diary,

    Just back from DD's football and ive a right headache :(. Dont think il complete the application form this evening will do it tomorrow.
    DD is definately going back to school tomorrow.. enough said!

    This afternoon I did the rest of my ironing, quickly tidied the girls bedroom and made some leek and potato soup for tomorrow and Wednesdays lunch.

    The weather has been pretty nice here today, think its due to rain tomorrow but will check as if its not il be pegging out :D.. Just checked none forecast until 7pm so looks like il be pegging out tomorrow then :j.

    DH has been out cutting the grass for the first time this year, he didnt get round to it when we had the warm spell in March and now it had got too long. It needs some weed and feed putting down now.

    Dont think ive anything else to report. Catch up soon x

    Morning Diary,

    Thanks for your well wishes Eliza and Pennywise, headache now gone but im all stuffy now :mad:. Not sure if its hayfever or a cold!
    Well I knew the weather was too good to be true. Check BBC last night which said rain at 7pm. So ive done 2 loads of washing only to get up to rain and then check BBC now which has forecast heavy rain at 1pm :mad:. Cant peg out as il be at work then, very annoyed! Im going to have to put one load in the TD as I wont have the heating on enough to get it all dry.

    Checked bank account, most of the 1st direct debits have gone out. Just 2 more and then once weve bought DD some more uniform the surplus can be transferred across to the savings account. DH is wanting a new camera but I feel we need to get these emergency fund savings set up or else we will never do it as theres always something to buy!

    Dont think ive anything else to report! Catch up soon x

    Afternoon Diary,

    Well the rain has pretty much not stopped all day so good job I didnt peg out. Couldnt wait to get home once again to get snuggled up!
    Me and the kids are in now for the night.

    So ive put the heating on which will get load no 2 dry, no 1 has dried in the TD.

    Going to get on with tea soon which is hm chicken goujons, hm wedges and salad. Its one of my favourite teas, cant wait!

    Today has been a SSD. Popped into the coop after school and bought strawberries, milk, reduced mini corn on the cob and reduced mini teacakes for the kids sandwiches. So £4.50 spent in there, the teacakes were only 20p, they still feel really fresh! Il freeze the remaining ones and defrost as and when.

    Has my hm leek and potato soup today, it was delicious and so cheap to make. Ive another portion in the fridge at work for tomorrows lunch.

    25 points away from a op world payout so il be checking avidly to get my payout for a weekend treat!

    Oh I had 11 NSD in April which is really good for me as ive been struggling to get past about 9! So will try for the same if not more in May.

    Job for tonight is to complete this application form and send to my friend to look over for me.

    Think thats all from me xx

    Morning Diary,

    Day off for me due to voting day and school being closed.

    Yesterday was NSD1 of the month :T , hoping for plenty of these in May.
    I walked to work so got some exercise yesterday and had the rest of my HM soup which was delish.

    Today will be a medium spend day! Need to pop to Mr T's but not spending more than £30 in there plus ive got a £3 off a £20 shop.
    Im taking some money from the joint account to go and buy DD some new school uniform. Wont be spending 2 much, she needs trousers, summer dress, socks and tights so im hoping for about £25ish.

    Then the kids have got a little tea party to go to this evening so thats them fed :D.

    Think thats about all from me. Still 25 points away from op world payout :mad: xx

    Afternoon diary,

    Well didnt do too badly in the school uniform shopping stakes, however the one thing she really needs.. trousers we couldnt get!
    Ive been on the next website and theyve got some for £7 but id really like to see them first. I was going to order her 2 pairs until I realised they charged you to deliver to store cheeky swines! So going to have a walk into town tomorrow and go into an actual uniform shop as they might be better quality than the ones from Mr A's we last bought her.
    Got her another summer dress in the next size up, socks with matching coloured bows and some tights... £9 for 3 pairs in Mothercare :eek:. However she had these in nursery and were fantastic and lasted about 18m and she wore them more or less every day. I tried to save money and got her Mr T F and F ones last time and they are totally rubbish so I should have just bought the M'care ones last time too as now ive wasted £6 on the Mr T ones! Anyway you live and learn dont you. When DD2 starts in Sept il be going straight to M'care for them!!

    Then we went to Mr T's armed with my £3 off a £20 shop. Spent £33 so £30 charged, not bad really. I took cash and more or less stook to my list.
    Got lots of fruit and also they had some pizzas on buy 1 get 2 free, so I made the most of that offer too!

    As I mentioned the earlier the kids will eat at the party tonight. Ive got some nice kievs for DH and I so il have mine when I get back. He will have probably already eaten by the time we get back.

    Oh ive just hit the threshold for p.profile so that money should be winging its way to my bank account. Think it can take a month though.

    Ive got some washing pegged out and its nicely blowing away. Ive also just caught up with my ironing :A so need to put that away.

    Catch up soon x

    Hi Mummy

    You can get free delivery to Next stores, the express delivery to store costs 50p and the item arrives the next day but if you don't mind waiting a few days for the item its free delivery to store x

    Hi Choo,

    When I went through the Next system it said I could get it delivered to store free but only if I paid £3.75 for a next directory :eek:. I dont want a Next directory so I might aswell pay the £3.99 delivery to either store or home.
