Hi mummy2girls, how did your ebay go?

I have just listed about 20 boys clothes, some have bids already! Better in my pocket as i usually just give them away or to charity shop.

Afternoon diary, what a lovely day its been today . Went for a walk at lunchtime to post my ebay stuff and it was just nice to get out and get some fresh air.

Mummsy, it certainly is better in your pocket!! I made about £10 on 6 items so very cheap for what they were but still like you say better off in my pocket! I need to go through the girls wardrobes again and see what else theyve outgrown and if its decent enough to sell. Let me know how you get on.

Well ive transferred £31.50 out of my paypal account today so should hit later on in the week.
Postage was £9.12 so I owe that back to the joint account out of the paypal money when it comes through. My opinion world money was in there too!!

Today is NSD6 :T. Had a lovely meal out last night and it was a 3 course set menu for £8 so such a bargain too. The girls shared ours as they would never eat a whole 3 course meal! and then they had the desserts.

Tonights tea is fahitas so nice and quick as ive bought the chicken already diced, although il have a look at each piece first and make sure I like the look of it!!

So ive got a basket of ironing to do and the living room to hoover and polish since I didnt do it yesterday (did everywhere else and the bathrooms though!). So il see how I feel when I get home, if im tired I wont bother. I mean it is Monday after all hehe!!

Right thats all from me. Catch up soon x

Morning diary, just popping in for a quick catch up. Very foggy and chilly here today.

Just been out to do the meter readings and last week we used £22.97 so about £3 less than the previous week when I had been in all week. I have noticed the electricity usage going down and in a few weeks the heating will probably be off timer and used as and when. This house gets too warm so we find we end up turning it off when its on timer anyway.

Today will be a SSD as I need to pay DD's snack money only 80p.

Think thats it from me. Catch up soon x x

Morning diary, just quickly popping in. Paypal money hit this morning so ive transferred into a different account out of the way.

Made a payment to the MBNA card too and tweaked my debt figures spreadsheet a bit more. At the moment it hasnt changed my DFD but has made the final payment a bit less. Hopefully if we can keep upto it our DFD will be December 2013. Would like to get this sooner but at the moment with the uncertainty of the job I cant think too far ahead.

Catch up soonx

Hi Mummytogirls

Your DFD will probably creep closer with payrises and who knows you will probably get a fantastic new job or your book-keeping might take off.
Its right not to look too far ahead as it just jumbles the brain.

Hope you've had a good day x

Morning diary, just popping in for a quick post as I need to crack on with my jobs before my friend arrives!!

Thanks Choogirl, you are so true in what you say, but dont get me too excited haha!!!

Well last night I ended up at Morrisons, we needed milk and a few other bits so I thought I might aswell use the last of the shopping budget and restock for the next week. I had £30 left in the budget and I spent £31 so im very pleased with myself. Its my first month of proper budgeting with the shopping and ive only gone £1 over :T.
However next month will be tricky as this has been a 4 week month and these next ones will be slightly longer.
Plus we are going away in a few weeks so the petrol budget will need to be upped a bit I think.

Right so this is my list of jobs:-

- peg washing out
- put load of whites in
- load dishwasher
- hoover, polish and mop throughout
- bleach in toilets
- shred paperwork and file other bits
- huge pile of ironing

right id best get on. Need to get the top 5 done before my friend arrives, the others can wait til tonight.

Catch up soon x x x

Hi Mummytogirls

I was thinking about the grocery budget as well for next month as well. I was thinking of planning and buying for 8 meals each week instead of the usual 7 and then I would have 4 left over and for the remaining 3 days worth of meals I was just going to make an extra chili, shepherds pie and lasagna in the weeks meal planning beforehand. Each week when I go shopping as well I might buy an extra loaf or box of cereal and hopefully with the staples that we already have in the cupboard we should be able to manage with buying milk and some veg in the extra week.
Its going to be tight but do-able I think so long as DH doen't request steak!

Afternoon diary, feeling absolute pants today full of flipping cold again.

I got most of my jobs done yesterday but didnt touch the ones I should have done last night. Really cant get motivated at the mo and with this cold and bad head I really cant be bothered.

Today is NSD8 and to say ive cleaned through yesterday you wouldnt know any different today. Im so sick of all these tiny toys everywhere!!! If its not flipping playfood its megablocks theyre tipping out :mad:.

Choogirl, that sounds like a sensible plan think I might have to take your idea on board.
Haha to DH asking for steak, maybe once a month as a treat!!

Think thats all from me x x

Evening diary, I am soooo poorly today , think ive got a throat infection or something. Couldnt get out of bed this morning which is very unlike me even when im ill I will still get up. Finally dragged myself out of bed at about 9.30 and had a wash and what not. Felt a bit better but needed to pull myself round and get some washing in. DH took the girls to the park en route whilst walking the dog which was good of him.

Got 2 loads more or less dry on the line today but thats all I have done all day. Fell asleep on the settee for 2 hours at 2pm, woke up absolutely freezing cold but then within half an hour was burning up again. Feel a bit better now again but once these tablets wear off il be feeling rubbish again.

SSD today as DH went out and bought fish and chips for lunch. I really enjoyed them actually but thats all ive eaten all day.

Its looked really lovely out today but I think its supposed to go down hill again from tomorrow. Really hope not cos if its nice again tomorrow and im feeling a bit better id like to take the girls somewhere for a few hours.

Righty ho think ive whinged on enough for this post!! x
