Morning Diary,

You'll be pleased to hear that the weather seems to be picking up again, last night was awful with high winds and rain.

Yesterday we went out to an outdoor play centre with friends, about £15 spent including entry and ice creams. They don't allow picnics but we took one anyway!!!

Today we are just pottering about getting ready for camping tomorrow. Mr T's have been with my shopping.. £85, most of it for camping but will save me money in the long run. We also need to pop to the farmshop for our meat.

Tonight I'm out for tea with some friends which I'm so looking forward to. DH and kids will have something out of the freezer (they love it when I go out and don't properly cook!).

DF0D, I was so tired the other morning. I think its the day after I've done exercise as I really struggled to get up again this morning and a class last night.

Hope all ok, not sure if I will get on before camping now so see you all next week!! xx

Morning Diary,

Im back!!! We ended up coming back on Sunday night as the wind had been so bad Saturday night we had hardly any sleep and it was threatening the same Sunday night. Had a lovely weekend though and the weather was glorious... up until the wind!!

Yesterday we went to the cinema, weve been wanting to go and since DH was at home we took the opportunity... £30 spent :eek: this will be one of the only expensive days out this holiday though so I don't mind.

So today will be spent at home chilling and cleaning! Today will be NSD2... not expecting lots of NSD through August as I like to keep the kids busy so we usually have a cheap day out with an ice cream so lots of SSD.

Payday for me is next Tuesday and then again in the 26th as were switching to monthly pay. I really prefer 4 weekly but out of my hands unfortunately.

Happy Tuesday all x

Hi mummy,

Glad you had a nice time away, its windy here too and my drive is covered in leaves, will clean them up once the wind has died down.

Cinema is expensive isn't it? I noticed the other night when me and my Dh went that the sweets I had bought on offer in Mr S for £1 were £3.49 in the cinema, just disgusting.

Bonus extra payday though! Glad you had a nice break, if it was a little windy!

Evening Diary,

Had a really good today... until I got a parking ticket :mad: my friend who we were with also got one. Weve both appealed it as the signage was very misleading, a guy was even falling into the same trap as us as we were leaving.

£51 spent in Mr T's, would have been £66 but knocked off my vouchers.

Pennywise, ridiculously expensive at the cinemas! No wonder people take in their own.

DF0D, yay to extra pay but then got to wait an actual whole month to be paid again!! Its going to kill me especially 5 week months!

So tomorrow we are pottering in the morning and then DD2 has a party in the afternoon so il pay DD1 in and that will be their entertainment for the day!

Hope all ok x

Boo to the parking ticket A couple of years ago my pay date was changed from 25th of the month to the 31st with just a month's notice. Most of my direct debits went out on the 25th so had to get a month ahead of myself, what a pain that was.

Glad you enjoyed your camping trip despite the wind.

Oh that would be a nightmare SA! xx

Afternoon Diary,

Another busy weekend camping, had a good time but I'm shattered now!! Weather is lovely today so DD's and I went to the local park and took a picnic with us. Whilst we were out we banked some money and a cheque into the post office, so handy having that facility so close by.

Just hoovered my car as it was full of grass and mud after 2 camping trips back to back. Hate this job so glad its done now!!

Tomorrow is payday :j, also kids school shoe shopping, I've booked an appointment at Cl@rks so should be pretty painless (until we get to the till) if previous years are to go by. Really [STRIKE]want[/STRIKE] need to get finished off tomorrow as its not long until were away again and then they're straight back to school.

Hope all ok and enjoying the sunshine x
