Morning Diary,

Another miserable day here... think the rain is lighter than yesterday!

So im an hour into my 8-6 call out and as you've probably guessed theyre not here yet!

DF0D, Ive washed up so far... not right keen on actual washing up since we usually have the dishwasher! Still it was only a few breakfast things.

Alice, thanks for your reply re sky. DH keeps going on about this TV box, not sure if its n0w or something that you can still get the kids TV on. You still have to pay monthly for these so I think its pointless since we have freeview built into the TV's.

So I've been screened out of about 4 surveys this morning... think I've had my run of good luck where they are concerned. I stand at 1350 points with op world so will carry on a bit longer then I might cash out. Alice I've managed to catch up this week with me being off. That will be it until Christmas now, I can't bare surveys when I'm at work ha!!!

So I've stripped off DD1's bed today, thats currently in the machine and will go in the TD. Thats all our beds nice and clean for this week.
Still to clean:

bathrooms
oven
washing machine
hoovering and polishing

Ive taken some beef out of the freezer and we will have hot beef sandwiches with HM chips and peas for tea. DH will be chuffed as its his favourite meal.. well one of ha! Ive sent him for baguettes at lunchtime so lets see if they actually materialise as I know he will forget, he's useless.

Im hoping for a NSD :T - probably about the 3rd for the whole month which is pretty shameful.

Hope all ok xx

Surveys seem really quiet this week I think! I don't manage that much during the working weeks really.

Raindy day here too. Booo about the surveys that kept happening to me.

I also agree about sky. It keeps me sane in the times of major saving. Especially catch up and the box sets.

Have a lovely day x

We cancelled sky tv too, the kids still have a good range of programmes to watch but generally we don't watch that much anyway. If you do cancel they'll send you lots of special offers to tempt you back so you can always change your mind.

Hope the engineer doesn't arrive too late, hate such a big window of time.

Dinner sounds lovely, hope you have a lovely day.

Afternoon Diary,

Still no engineer... grrrrr. I always start panicking that they've forgotten about me as time goes on ha!!!

Had a busy morning and just sat down to watch dinner date and have a catch up on here. I bet he comes now as I'm watching this!

So this morning I've cleaned my washing machine, oven which wasn't too bad as I only did it over the summer with an oven pride kit. Gave it a bit of a blasting with my steam cleaner and its lovely again now.
Put DD's bedding back on, caught up with my ironing. Played monopoly and pig goes pop with the girls and helped DD2 tidy her room. You can see the floor again now!

They've been busy raiding the craft cupboard and painting and decorating a jewellery box one of them must have got for their birthday. They are currently drawing upstairs, its actually nice to see them getting along for once!!!

Cant actually believe its Thursday already, seriously where has this week gone? xx

please-let-me-be-lucky

Hope they turned up eventually Xx

... and sit down!

They turned up at 5.30pm :mad:. How annoying is that! I won't say I've wasted a day as I have done some jobs I would have never got round to otherwise but 5.30! I rang at about 3 to make sure they hadn't forgotten me and they informed me I was the last job on the list. I just don't understand why in these cases they can't give you a morning or afternoon slot.

Anyway its all fixed now and we finally sat down to our tea at 6.45!

Whilst I was waiting I started cleaning out the 'craft cupboard'. There was so much rubbish in there its untrue, I threw out a whole bag of stuff! Managed to get it all in one cupboard of the dresser now rather than double that. If I ever hear my kids moan they're bored again il swing for them! They've got about 10 colouring and activity books.

Ive just hoovered round and sat down.

Tired now :undecided xx

Morning Diary,

Kids were up at 6am this morning :mad:. They've been up so early this week and I bet when its time to get up to school next week they won't get up!

Anyway I've just done another survey and withdrawn £14 from from op world. DD2 desperately needs a new school bag as the picture on hers is peeling away! Theres a little bag shop in the local supermarket and I saw one for £12 the other week so il pop in there and pick one up today.

Up to £26 on 0nepoll.

DH has been paid today so the account looks nice and healthy.

I need to do my meter readings on Sunday and hopefully we will have a nice credit built up in there. Ive checked on the weather for next week and its looking quite nice temperature wise so we might be able to keep the heating off a bit longer. Will see how we go on as I'm happy for it to go on as soon as we need it.

Thats about all from me. Hope all ok xx

5.30pm - that is so typical isn't it! grrrrrrrr

Your early starts are a lie in to me, being positive though, we made it past 5am today!

Enjoy the last few days - I actually enjoy the next half term as it's so nice building up till Christmas and two weeks off!

Evening Diary,

I actually cannot believe its Friday night already, really enjoyed my week off.

So today we popped to the bag shop and bought DD a lovely purple bag. She's chuffed with it as it has lots of pockets and is in her favourite colour ha!

We met up with my cousin and her girls at soft play on the way back which was nice.

I drew out our family spendings money today so that has to see us through the next month. We haven't got any plans as such so will hopefully save a bit of it into December activities.

Thats about all from me. Hope everyone has a nice weekend xx
