Hope your daughter is feeling better soon, mine has Calpol 6+ tablets for her bad headaches they're expensive but they seem to be the only thing that work quickly for her.

Good news on the tracked money always good news when it goes through!

Hello Diary,

Wow what a week its been since I last posted!!! DD wasnt well until Sunday at which point I was nearly taking her to the emergency drs! Went back to work and school on Monday and then we got a call from the inspectors associated with Ofst3d. They were in today and then if I didnt get a call from school, DD1 wasnt well!!! Could not believe it! Luckily MIL went to collect her for me and then it was only an hour before I was going anyway. I needed to be there for our DBS file which he never sodding looked anyway! DD's not as bad as DD2 last week so im hoping after a few days she will be right as rain again.

It was payday on Tuesday and DH's payday yesterday which we felt loaded for a day... until all the direct debits go out today!!!!
We had our 'finance meeting' last night and decided where to put his extra payrise money and ive amended my signature to reflect the payment I made today. On the 7th another £120 goes out so next week we will be in the £12k's! I feel like getting to £14k weve really lost our way and now its all on 0% we really need to focus. We are now making payments of £405 a month but even so its still going to take a good 2 years to pay off. We are getting there though aswell as having a life which is the main thing.

Ive just paid £20 off our holiday in October so thats a little dent more made. Other money looks like this:

£49.17 - holiday savings (still nothing booked yet!)
£44.00 - £2 coins towards C. Parcs in October
£730.00 - savings (trying to get to £1000 emergency fund)

Quite chuffed with ourselves really!

Went shopping yesterday.. £42 in the local farmshop on meat, eggs, fruit, veg and potatoes. £64 in Mr A's on everything inbetween! Quite impressed with everything I got to be honest and next week should be a small shop.

Tonights tea is rib eye steak with peppercorn sauce, cant wait its my favourite tea .

Think ive rambled on enough and DD2 is nagging on for a hot chocolate and I promised her one by the time paw patrol finished!!! Hope all ok, will catch up with diaries shortly whilst tea is cooking xx

Oh I meant to say ive done my meter readings today, £17 in debit which isnt too bad really. Weve turned the heating off now aswell, so we should start building up some credit now x

Morning Diary,

Got an unexpected day off with DD1 today who is still unwell. She perks up when the medicine kicks in but rapidly goes downhill when its wearing off. Shes following DD2s pattern from last week, only good thing is her temperature is nowhere near as high. I am actually logged onto my emails doing some work :cool:!

Thanks for popping by Alice .

Going to get the house cleaned this afternoon and then its a nice long weekend, hopefully we can get out somewhere dependent on how DD1 is.

Dont think ive much else to report really xx

please-let-me-be-lucky

Hope DD1 feels better soon and you can all enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend Xx

Hello Diary,

All good here except weve spent far too much money this weekend !!!
DD is better thank fully so back to school tomorrow for her. DH and I had a surprise night out last night, he arranged it with MIL but I didnt know about it until yesterday. Really enjoyed ourselves and had a curry on the way home but we totally spent too much!! Today weve been for breakfast sandwiches on the way for the kids :cool: and were having a final blow out of a chinese for tea . We had better hope the car passes its MOT in 2 weeks with flying colours since its that money weve dipped into :rotfl:.

Im not feeling my best today, feel a bit tired but the house is still tidy from yesterday and ive pegged 2 loads of washing out so not too bad all in all.

Ive had £10 in £2 coins since yesterday so thats now £54 saved there, really impressed by this!

Dont think ive anything else to report! Hope all ok and having a lovely weekend xx

Well done on the £2 coins, they soon add up don't they. Have a good week.:)

Happy Wednesday Diary!!!! Hope all ok. Just popping in to say ive just updated my signature after one of the cards DD's went out and were now in the £12ks :j. This has really made me day.

Not much to report really, currently on washing strike until the weather picks up again or I might have to cave in at some point.
Weve not had the heating on for a bit now and the kids are playing out more so saving on the electricity. Hopefully we will see a difference next time I do the readings.

Need to go pick the girls up shortly and ferry them about to gymnastics. Never ending is it!

Hope all ok anyway and will catch up soon xx
