    Evening pennywise :rotfl: to your suggestion about making as much noise as possible *insert evil laugh here*. He hasnt been too bad thank god but I for one am shattered today!

    Re the vouchers I changed it for a jumpsuit for DD1 but I think its a little too big so might need to exchange. Also got my friends DD some bibs for Easter as shes only 2m but didnt want to leave her out. Then thats £10 gone in a flash!! Maybe you could exchange yours for toys and stock up your pressie stash (assuming you have one!)

    All had our haircuts, kids look so cute with their little fringes trimmed again!! Hairdresser only charges £10 for me and £5 for them so a real bargain plus she has previously worked for a well known chain would used to charge me nearly £40 :cool:!

    Then off to Tesco who managed to annoy me! You know when you forget to hand in your clubcard but you can go to cust servs and get the points put on. Well theyve changed it from 28 days to 14 now so all my receipts were out of date :mad:. Kept that quiet didnt they the little swines!
    Got 4 bags of stuff to tide us over and only spent £22 so not bad at all. Will do a big shop on Tuesday when I get paid.

    Had loads of washing dry this week but andriod weather app tells me rain tomorrow but I think il be ignoring it again since im around. Stripped spare bedding off as weve got my dad coming to stay again next week... long story. Will strip ours off tomorrow and hopefully get them both dry.

    Kids have got a party tomorrow and the present and the card is all sorted and wrapped. Thats their tea sorted too so im not planning any tea for me and DH cos theres always loads left at parties so lets see if we can all get fed haha :rotfl:!! I love party food too!!

    Then Sunday hopefully our first BBQ of the year, weather permitting as again my weather app is telling me otherwise!!

    Nothing planned Monday, might take a picnic to the park if its nice and then all it will cost will be a few £'s in ice creams and then back to work for 3 days until my 4 days off again! Loving all these bank holidays and the sunny weather to go with it.

    Right think im rambled on enough... you can tell I havent been at work today cant you! House is a complete mess! Theres all playsand running through the dining room courtesy of the kids but im leaving it til tomorrow. Ive asked (told) DH that he can help me get the house straight in the morning.

    Happy weekend everyone :D x x

    Why is nothing ever simple?! A few weeks back I got my renewal through from the AA and wasnt happy as it had increased loads. Rung them up got a better deal so stayed with them.
    Have received my new paperwork last week and the amount quoted isnt the amount I was told over the phone its £40 more :mad:.
    Just tried to ring but got cut off as they are experiencing high call volumes which made me even more :mad:!!
    ARGH!!!!!!!!! Rant over!

    Oh Mummytogirls, men are all the same! My DH goes out, says that he won't be late and then comes home at some ridiculous time, smells like a brewery, ruffles all the covers and then snores like a hog all night! The next day he gets up, normally manages to make it to the sofa and then sits there groaning that he doesn't feel well, he didn't have too much to drink and expects me to feel sorry for him :mad:

    I normally make sure thats theres a horrible job to be done thats guaranteed to make him feel worse such as cleaning out the cats litter tray or unblocking a drain (i am evil as well) :rotfl:

    In my experience Mr Ts don't offer very good customer service, in fact I refuse to shop there anymore as the last time I went to the customer service desk I was treated appallingly!

    :mad: to the AA, hope you get it sorted.

    Have a great weekend xxxx

    Hi mummy. Hope your weather is better than mine. It is pouring with rain here. Electric bill will be high this week from the tumble dryer being on constantly!

    OH's are funny aren't they? Mr Gap hardly ever goes out due to work (he works nights) and so when he does he forgets that all his friends are out every weekend and are used to drinking so he has about 4 pints then calls me and tells me he feels a bit drunk and is going to have water. Then he calls me again about an hour later and tells me six times that he has had 3 bottles of water! He usually stays at mine if he has a night out. I don't mind that though. He is not too bad at getting up the next day (albeit late) but he does complain of being tired all day. I don't go out much either so we usually go out together (i.e. tonight) it's just occasionally we go out separately.

    Oh, I'm blethering on a bit :o sorry.

    Evening diary, what a lovely LSD it has been!!

    Started off with a family dog walk this morning and then we just stayed out for the whole day and had our BBQ. Kids loved playing out in the street and even had a water fight with the neighbours DS!

    Had 2 loads of washing dry on the line :T.

    Had to pop to Tesco express for some juice and lettuce as I picked up the wrong one in Tesco Friday and it tastes horrid! Bought me and DH an eclair too to have as a treat when kids in bed later. So spent £5 which is hardly nothing!

    Had a really lovely day all in all. Kids have just been bathed and are now ready to sleep like logs after their busy day.

    Catch up soon x

    Evening diary, just popping in with todays (un)events!! Not really done much outside of the house tbh.

    Popped to see my mum this morning, dont see her often but had to pick kids eggs up.
    Then came back had beans on toast for lunch. Really really fancied a McD's but fought the urge and feel better for a) saving the money b) eating something much healthier!

    Tidied the pigsty I mean house :o! whilst DH took kids out with their scooters.
    Had 2 loads dry on the line and my basket is nearly full again :eek:. As is my ironing basket now :eek:.

    Cooked a pie from some left over beef in gravy which was in the freezer and had mash and veg and was just delicious. Every time I make it the kids ask for seconds!!
    Also cooked a chicken breast for sandwiches over next few days and a home made sausage roll with the left over sausages from the BBQ and the pastry from the pie. The kids will have sausage roll for their tea tomorrow at mil's.
    So thats the kids food sorted for tomorrow just need to check the weather and get them some clothes out.

    Might tackle my ironing not made up my mind yet :cool:.

    So all in all a busyish Bank Holiday Monday but it was nice pottering round really, miss this with working FT.

    Right catch up soon x x

    Morning diary, payday woohoo :beer:..

    GAP, I do like my own cooking hehe :rotfl:. However, I do like other peoples too ie eating out!!!
    Tonights tea is boring pasta bake, only because thats all weve in until the shopping comes..

    Have made my loan payment so will update my figures this week at some point when I get a chance, very busy week for mummytogirls :cool:.
    Done my meter readings and used £14 this week which isnt bad but id have expected less since weve been outside all weekend not using TV etc. I suppose I shouldnt be grumbling as that is very cheap in the grand scheme of things!

    Weather not looking too nice here today, thank god I got my washing done over the weekend. Might see what its like tomorrow and get a load out then.

    Righty ho, think thats about it from me! Catch up soon x x

    Morning diary, weather seems to be picking back up again :j another 2 loads out to dry today :T.

    Well yesterday was payday (first full time wage in over 5 years) and yesterday I spent a little too much. £100 of it was budgeted for in shopping and petrol but another £60 wasnt :eek:. So today is NSD6 of the month. Need to seriously make sure this doesnt happen again just because I have a more money than usual. Going to take DD shopping on Friday for her new bits and bobs but might draw a set amount out before I go so that I cant overspend.

    Right think thats about it from me! Catch up soon x
