Hello diary and here we are again another week has passed by!!
Nothing mse to report. Had 9 NSD in Sept and had 1 so far in Oct!
Last week got my shopping delivered free from Asda and my cupboards and freezer are now bursting...but for how long! Im hoping to just get a few fresh bits in this week and then do another 'big'ish shop next week!

Going to update my survey positions in a mo. Toluna is very slow, so think after I finally get to 80000 points which might be in about 4 years I will sack them off!!

All my ebayers paid up which was good. Spent it all again on ebay which cant be bad as I got loads of things for the girls for 'free' essentially!! Just need some wellies for DD1 now and they should everything they need to get them through winter.

Tea is already made for hubby to put on when we get in. Spaghetti bolognaise yum!

Anyway, will catch up before the week is out!

Well done with the surveys, keep going.

Morning diary, feeling very miserable and down today. Ive been fighting this money saving web for what feels like a lifetime now and im just feeling so fed up with it all.

Have got about £2 in my purse and a grand total of 33p in the bank! Then got DD's photos from school back end of last week and they need paying by Thursday, will have to get some money from DH to pay for those. I swear just when you think everythings going to be ok, something else just has to jump up and bite you on the bottom doesnt it!

Payday next week but tbh im not going to be any better off its just the stress all starts again of juggling the money. I think after Christmas we will be ok, maybe from February onwards things might start to pick up. Just always got something to pay and its getting to me now.

Ok so this is my to do list to try make some extra money/save on things:-

1. Ebay - got a few old bits of the kids to put on. Wont make £100's but better than nothing.
2. Use the radiators now they are on instead of the dryer. Again wont save £100's but is better than nothing.

Im sat here constantly wishing the month away. Cant wait til the day I dont have to do that x x

Ah honey i'm so sorry your feeling down at the minute sending you big hugs, i think its a bad time of year , dark nights/morning, its getting colder and the C word is around the corner.

mummytogirls

Hi Pennywise, I think your right, dark nights always make things seem so much worse dont they?! I have saved for those Park vouchers so I know Christmas is sorted im just fed up with it all now!! Need this big loan paid off so I can start throwing extra money at the CC's. Heyho only 15m and it will be paid off im sure that will fly by!!

Well I had a stroke of luck yesterday, sold DD's old carseat for £50, so going to use that to buy her birthday pressie which is also just around the corner. Its nice not to have to worry about that now as I would have just taken it from my wage and worried later.

This has really made me think I really really need to budget properly. So from the new year I am going to put away X amount for Birthdays and also have a car fund. God forbid if anything happened to the car we would be screwed!!

Feeling much more upbeat today after my moan yesterday, onwards and upwards!! x

Glad your feeling brighter today and well done on selling the cer seat.
