Hello out there!!!

Well today i got some great news!! The school DD2 is going to in sept wrote to me to say that there is a vacancy in year 2 and DD1 is next on the list so have offered her the place!! I have been waiting for 3 years for this!!

Not very DFW as in i have to buy more uniform!!!!
But DFW in that it will save us a fair bit in fuel as this school is a ten minute walk. We have to drive to her current school!

Went and did a bit of shopping today. Just a little bit of milk (65p for 2litres in Mr T so got 4!) My girls love fruit mentos and they are 99p for 4 but buy one get one free. This makes them about 12p a roll of sweets! To think if they choose something from a shop i usually pack at least 40-60p!!:eek:

Then Mr T gave me a £6 off the next time i spend £40 voucher! Result! Will use that next saturday on our first may shop. Will help with the grocery budget this month!!!

That reminds me i need to decide on a may budget for shopping.

Going city shopping with my mum, nan and aunt on may 7th. Nan and Aunt need summer clothes for holidays and my mum has lost loads of weight so i am buying her some new clothes for her birthday for the end of may. Also my 26th in May so a great opportunity to pick something for my mum to get me!! Hopefully this day will only be a necessary spending day! IE just allocated present money and some lunch!! HOPEFULLY!!!

Right better give OH a cuddle before he thinks i love the laptop more than him!!!

Oh and forgot to say the dizziness is a little better. Still there but isn't constant. Thanks for asking choc and moose!

Going to offend Choc now!!

I have this chocolate flavoured body wash which i am using as part of our using up toilettries challenge. I am not a huge chocolate fan (AAHH SORRY CHOC!!!!!:D) and i really don't like the smell of this stuff!!! But i swear this body wash is a bottomless pit!!!! It has lasted longer than every other body wash i have ever had!!! I suppose it is very MSE but i just want to get through it!!!! LOL . I am using more than normal and it doesn't seem to go down very much at all!!!

Right OH is making us eggs for breakfast!!! mmmmm love eggs. Then we are going to his Mums at 11.30 to go out for this walk. Weather suddenly turned wet today after sun all week!! :mad: Wellie boots i think!!

Brilliant news about your eldest getting a place at the same school as dd2 - lovely for them to be at the same school too as well as saving you petrol! Your daughters are the same years apart as my 2 - my eldest went in to Y2 when dd2 started in Reception. Aaah.....my DD2 going in to Y7 in Spet now, at big school:rotfl:
I am enjoying your diary - you really are so organised. I'm doing ok, but can feel myslef getting a bit lax and spending more than I should (re GHDs, arghhhhhh)....I shall get more on top of it all for May I have decided;)

Have a lovely day, in your wellies:D

Thanks Millie!! It feels such a relief. I have felt so isolated at the other school. My mum and my two aunts are over at the school we are now in and i miss out on seeing my cousins and siblings on sports days and xmas plays etc as i am somewhere else!! Will be so much easier now!! Really nervous about ringing tomorrow as i am still convinced something will go wrong!!!!!! DD2 at big school - i bet that seems a little on the scary side!?

Well i have felt a little rejected this weekend - by survey sites!! Yesterday i got rejected from about 10 surveys!! It seemed never ending!!! I manages about £2.00 on global test market , 1.00 on to luna, 75p on valued and 20p on one poll!!! One poll is very slow oging...hoping to get a target of the £40 to withdraw for xmas!!!!

Todays lunch wasn't too cheap!! I thought the place we went to would have pub lunches like jackets, paninis , pies etc but it seemed like all fine dining!!!! The kids menu was a choice of 2 steaks , fish and chips and a garlic thing with rice!! mmm very child friendly!! We got a bacon and egg baguette that wasn't too bad but cost £6.50!! That's two weeks of lunches for me!!! We asked for a plain cheese sandwich for DD2. So they bought out a cheese baguette with spring onion!! Sent it back saying we wanted a plain cheese sandwich and got a sandwich this time but still with spring onion!!!! Got it right 3rd time though!! Cost £66 for all of us. About £25 for the 3 os us as DD1 shared MIL fish and chips!!! Bliming pricey! :eek:

chocolate body wash still going down slowly................:p

Woohoo just used cross trainer for 20 mins and drank a litre of water

A good start to the week. Weighed in this morning and lost 1lb - i am pleased as i wasn't particulary good last week!!!

Updated sig with weight , new cc total given by OH and grocery shop!!

Really tight this month!! I have £4.34 left. Have crisps and maybe toilet rolls and eggs to get :eek:

A week still to go!! Will have to get the bare minimum!! Tempted to cheat and buy a large pack of crisps but work out how many are for this week and 'bill' my grocery budget accordingly!!!

Right better jump in the shower!

You're doing really well with your cross trainer, I tried it a couple of times when I went to the gym, it nearly killed me:rotfl:

Booo about the survey sites!!

Have a great day

I'm so offended!:p Actually i'm funny, love chocolate and could eat it to death but detest anything choc like whether it be shower gel like you or a lip balm etc - how weird am I? Perhaps it's because I am not able to eat it or something like that :rotfl:

LOL Choc. I have always been one more for chuppa chup lollies, refreshers, cherrie drops etc! :D:D mmmm cherry drops!!!!

Just popped out to the shops...£1.71 spend on crisps and £1.30 on veg at the greengrocers. So £3.01 spent and £1.33 left! Though tomorrow i am popping to the supermarket with my mum and if there are any bargains i will buy them for may in advance. As long as i don't get anything to use this week then it is all okay!

Looked at OH credit report last night and he is financially linked to his psycho ex for a rental credit search from the year 2000! She in the meantime has gone bankrupt so don't really want any links to her. (he has a son with her but don't want financial links!) He has written to equifax requesting she be removed as they have had no financial links for over 8 years! Their relationship only lasted 18 months! She is still bitter about me and i have been with him for 8 years!!!

Rang the school and DD1 starts next tuesday!!! :j got to pop in tomorrow and get her uniform

Started joining some sites to do daily clicks last night. Really have to look at it properly tonight to see what i am doing. Hope to raise some xmas money doing this. (if i understand it!)

Also off to the travel agents tomorrow to talk weddings just to get some ballpark figures! :):):)

I hope everyone is well.....i've just had porridge , a banana and a special k bar for lunch!
