Mmmm cherry drops - blast from the past

I started on the daily click thingy but I just got too bored - naughty I know but my job is 100% computer based so sitting of an evening doing it just didn't appeal to me, perhaps I could do it every other night

:j That's fab news re DD1 - aww bless them in school uniform. I have five nephews and loved seeing every one of them going off to school, sis is having her first girl in June - bless.

How exciting about travel agents - :j Let us know how you get on. Where have you decided upon or is that still undecided? VERY exciting either way - jealous xx

Yay it's all sorted I bet you breathed a huge sigh of relief when they said she can start on Tues

Hope your OH can get the financial link removed, that's so annoying.

Good luck at the travel agents tonight

Yum cherry drops! Yummy yummy yum!

Great news on DD1, really pleased for you Can't believe I have to start choosing a school for my DD next year! Quite shocking really!

It goes by so quickly! One minute i had a toddler and a baby and now suddenly i am looking at having both children in fulltime school this year!! Goes by soo quickly! Really want to enjoy this last few months with DD2 at home

Better be quick as i have to get the bus to my mums in 20 mins. OH is in brighton for a meeting today and usually he takes DD1 to her school and i take DD2 to her preschool. Can't do both at the same time. So need to get the bus to mums so she can take DD2 while i walk to school with DD1!!

Won't be a problem next week as it will just be the one school!!!! Woohoo!!

Hey there,

How you diddling? Did it go ok at travel agents? xx

Hello all!!!!!!

Have a productive yet not very DFW day yesterday! Felt like i spent loads!!!

Went to town and bought my cheap work shoes for £15. Hoping they don't fall apart too soon.

Mum and I popped into travel agents. Unfortunately the prices for May next year don't come out until tomorrow so we have spoken to a rep to say what we want and she is working on it to get us prices and will ring me on saturday. We have decided on cyprus within the first 3 weeks in May 2011. We have found a couple of places we really like and also specified i would like to get married outdoors and not in a chapel. Including us their are 17 adults and 13 children going for definite with a possible further 10. So just waiting to see now! At least the ball is rolling

Then went to DD1's new school to pick up 2 school jumpers at £8 each. Also had to purchase her book bag at £4 and then my mum decided to buy my sisters book bag while we were there so DD2 kicked up that she wanted hers! (she starts sept so i need it soon anyway) So i spent £24!!!! (will be less to pay off littlewoods now! )

Then a bit DFW - My aunt gave us my cousins small summer dresses in blue so i don't need to buy any as these are still perfect.

Got home and noticed we had potatoes that needed using up but we had eggs on toast on meal plan so i swapped to make use of the potatoes and save the eggs for another day!!

£1.33 still left of grocery budget!!!!!! Go shopping on saturday!

Payday tomorrow!! Well i may get mine on friday if they are not done in the morning

Right that is me!! Back off to work!!

Morning missus, I'm all up for cheap work shoes! Well done on the wedding plans so far, I'm all excited for you!

School jumpers are expensive, I baulked at the fact DSS's mother cut one of the arms off his to accomodate his cast on his broken arm! Hopefully she only cut the one off and washes that one more often!

:hello: Kel

How are things? x

Hello!!

Well had a good couple of days.

Payday yesterday. Will update my sig later

Made my first £35 online payment to south west water! This feels really good as i know i am a third of the way paid to my next bill! Never been organised with utility bills before. Plus DD for gas/elc comes out tomorrow.

Had a panic last night. My Littlewoods total in my sig included 2 buy now pay it later amounts which i don't pay interest on. In April an amount of £207 was put on my account for me to start paying. Found out though if you don't pay it in that month you pay the years interest since you had it on BNPL! :eek: So added to my account was £80 interest!!!!!! I was really upset as it would feel my hard work im april would be half taken up uy this interest! THEN i found the statement before this one and it said i had up to may 15th to pay this amount in full to avoid interest but that my next statement would include the interest. So i take it if i ring up today and pay it they will then deduct the interest from my account!!! PPPHHHEEEWWW!!

I have £150 left in april for an overpayment anyway and my normal littlewoods payment is £30 so only an extra £20 to save the £80 interest! Will ring them later and ask for a new balance!

i am out for a meal tonight!!! Skittles dinner and dance! Three course meal already paid for a couple of months back so now feels like a free meal!!

Right better get off to wake kiddiwinkles up!!!

Will be back on later. Didn't do cross trainer this morning...though have done 3 out of 5 morning so far so not bad! Plus walked to work aswell yesterday which was a bonus

My DD1's last day at current school today so got to go get some flowers for her teacher.

£1.33 still left in grocery budget!!! Shopping tomorrow!!! :rotfl:
