Welcome back!

Afternoon Diary,

Just back from meeting up with a friend and her 2 children so having a little catch up!

Im fully up to date with my washing and ironing after the holiday now, everything is back in its place.
Today we've been to the park, I took drinks and sandwiches with me for the kids so didn't spend anything there.

The dog did need some food so that was £20 there and then I spent £3.50 in the butchers to make bolognaise for tomorrow's tea.

Whilst I was away I received some washing powder to test and before some crisps which is handy!!

Ive been keeping up with my surveys and I'm now up to 1100 with op world. Im going to keep doing as many as I can until next week and then order some of the kids uniform using paypal which will keep the costs down.

Thats about all from me. Weathers turned now but will brighten up later on so I think after tea (sausage and mash) we will all take the dog out and get more fresh air!!

Hope all ok xx

Just ordered the kids new school jumpers and cardigans. The school have had a whole new logo so they needed brand new ones. Ive got a couple of DD1s old ones (which look brand new given DD2 hasn't had her hands on them!) and the school is phasing out the old logo over the next year so I will keep these as emergency spares!! DD1 will only wear the round neck for another year so I've only ordered her 2 as I don't want loads of 9-10 jumpers which DD2 might never grown into. £50 spent there so not too bad. Ive also ordered them a new coat each from N3xt... £46 there as I had a voucher off. Will keep surveying and use how ever much I get up to on they're shoes xx

Morning Diary,

A well earned rest here today . Yesterday we met up with another friend and had a fun day out at an outdoor play area. Had to buy lunch there as your not allowed to take your own (but no-one would actually know if you did so will be taking own next time!) so spent £25 there all in.

Have nothing planned for today other than pottering around I'm currently back in bed watching TV with a cuppa! Kids are in the living room watching their rubbish and I think they're glad of the break too!! The weather is currently raining... which was not and is still not on the forecast! Ive got a load of washing in in the hope it brightens up pronto!!!

DH is off up to Newcastle for a meeting today so not sure what time he will be back. Il put jackets in the oven for me and the kids for tea and he can have whatever when he gets back!!

Could do with nipping to N3xt for kids school coats but will see how the day goes first.

Thats all from me. Off to check out some surveys xx

I've finally got 5 minutes peace! Thought I'd catch up properly on other diaries. Just wanted to say I'm glad you all enjoyed your holiday. It's disappointing coming back but you can work hard and look forward to the next one That's what I tell myself... xx

Afternoon Diary,

Had such a busy week I have literally only just sat down with my laptop for a catch up!

Saturday we had a day out and a BBQ in the evening. Sunday I had a spa day with my friend which she booked for last years birthday!
Monday - Wednesday we were away with my mum in her holiday home at the seaside. Didn't spend too much money there but used half a tank of petrol getting us there and back plus it broke up being at home with the kids! Yesterday we stayed local and went to the park with a neighbour and today the weather is pants to we went bowling at lunchtime.

DFOD these are the coats I bought http://www.next.co.uk/x6d536s1#105291x56
DD1 has the pink once and DD2 has the floral one. Im debated on whether to take these back and get the next size up again as there is not that much room. DD1 is nearly 9 and I got her a 10 and DD2 is 6 and I got her a 7.
With regards uniform I just need to get their shoes (appointment at Cl@rks next Thurs), polo shirts, trousers and socks. So other than shoes reasonably cheap items!

Thats about all from me. Ive just been doing some surveys.. up to 1300 on op world now... keeping on going until shoe buying day next week!!!

Payday on Tuesday :j

Happy weekend all x

Afternoon Diary,

Last night I had a burst of energy and started ironing and cleaning. DD2 asked if she could help and she did loads including sorting some washing out, emptying dishwasher and polishing. She did everything I asked without complaining so I gave her £1!! The house looked pretty tidy today which is good. Its forecast to stay dry today so I've got 2 loads pegged out.

This morning we've been to our local shopping centre to take my watch for repair which is still within warranty (for another 2 weeks!). DD2 wanted to buy her build a bear a birthday present, so she spent some of her own money on him :cool:!!!
She got a voucher for £10 off a £30 spend so I'm going to take this and buy some little pressies for Christmas with it! Hark at me thinking about the C word in August :eek:. Also spent £1 on 7 cards in card factory... love that shop!

Weve not long got back and I've caught up with some surveys. Currently at £17.05 on 0nepoll and 1400 on op world.

DD1 is off to a party this afternoon and my sister is coming over with my nephew so that will keep us busy!

Sausage rolls and cornish pasty from the farmshop for tea.

Hope all ok happy Saturday! xx
