Evening Diary,
All is well in the house again... Ive been shopping :rotfl:. Even though weve got by I still hate not having the kitchen full of food.
I can't even tell you how excited I am that pay day is just a few hours away! Looking forward to seeing some money in my account :rotfl:.
So I've been very busy today (whats new through the week!) DD's had a training day at school so they've been to MIL for the day. I called into the petrol station on the way and spent £50.
Went to work, picked girls up, went to Mr Al's. Budget is £70 a week in there and spent £72.51 :mad: £1.58 was things the girls said they would pay for out of their money from their great grandad but I couldn't take it off them! Then got home to Mr T's turning up early. Spent £52.04 (budget was £50 from there!). Ran DD round to dancing, put shopping away had literally 15 minutes with a coffee and then started on tea. Phew!
Ive been to spinning class, took my shower stuff and got sorted there before coming home and demolished my tea! To say I haven't stopped I feel great.
Food: (much healthier today)
Breakfast - weetabix
Lunch - egg mayo and lettuce wrap and hula hoops
Tea - chicken milanese with hm napoli sauce, roast potatoes, carrots and brocolli
Snack - kiwi fruit and kiwi, avocado, pear and spinach smoothie
Tomorrow is MOT day :cool:, I'm not expecting any surprises but will see tomorrow!!!
Thank you HHOD and Redo

So weve just out for tea using a 50% off food voucher and gift vouchers my dad bought us for Christmas. Spent £3.10 in actual money :money:, other spends were on a work lunch from the fish and chip shop :cool:, as you can tell healthy eatings gone well today!!! Im glugging down the water as feel really thirsty now and il be back on it tomorrow!
Food:
Breakfast - porridge with banana and nutella
Lunch - chips, scallop and curry sauce in a bread roll
Tea - beef chilli enchilada with spicy rice, chips and side salad

In other good news the car flew through its MOT. As per usual the garage hasnt produced my bill yet, but it won't be too much just the MOT fee.
Positives of the day:
* car passing MOT no problems
* lovely tea out with minimal cost
DD1 has been a right moody judy tonight, I really can't be doing with her when she gets like this!!! She was having a fit because she didn't know what to choose from the menu :eek:
Happy weekend all xxMummytogirls x0 -

Afternoon Diary,
Wow a busy Saturday finally just sitting down with a latte.
Took DD to dancing first thing then called over to the butchers. Spent £12 on a topside joint and some mince (had budgeted £15 :money:) came home and cleaned the house top to bottom whilst DH and DD1 were at football. Then weve just dropped DD1 off at football with Grandad and DH and I had our eyes tested. No change for me (I've pretty much got 20/20 vision) DH wears glasses for work and his prescription is the same so no new glasses needed for him.
Spent £3.37 on cards in the card factory (£1 to be reclaimed from work) and 75p on onion rings for tea. All in all not a bad day so far.
SA, DH told me about the nutella thing. Can you even imagine fighting over the stuff. As much as I love it on my porridge I don't think id go that far :rotfl:.
HHOD, I have had a good couple of days, I'm pleased with how January has gone to be honest.
Food:
Breakfast - weetabix
Lunch - scrambled egg on toast
Tea - steak (trying from Mr Al's instead of the butchers), peppercorn sauce, chips, onion rings, carrots, peas and mushrooms
Snack - hula hoops
Positives:
* both DH and I had our eyes tested for free voucher that came through the post :money:
* lovely clean and tidy house with washing and ironing all done
* minimal spends day
Hope everyones enjoying their Saturday xxMummytogirls x0 -
