Morning guys.
Thanks cobblers boy for posting, I have a nectar bar thing (sorry don't know technical name) that flashes up everytime i go into a site that i can collect nectar points at, its fab and means i'm reminded to go through nectar:D.

First cheque for £6 has been written out for school:mad:, also DS tooth came out last night:) so £1 for the tooth fairy;).

Work this morning then i need to go and buy 3:eek: birthday presents for parties over the weekend.

Went and bought presents from home bargains also bought a christmas present for DD spent £15.75.
Need to put some petrol in the car as red light came on on way home from work, will do that when i drop DD at party tommorrow.

Nothing of interest in post, DS got his Lego mag so he will be a happy bunny when he gets in from school.

Have also sold an item on ebay a whole £1.75, but its something and will cover the cost of a cardigan i had bid on.

Can't believe the weekend went so quickly, spent most of saturday ferrying small children about to various parties and activities, yeaterday we decided to have a bit of a walk so went up to the lakes for the day, took a picnic, spent £4.50 on car parking, but we had a lovely day and as most of the tourists had gone home it wasn't too busy.
Spent last night cooking made 2 meat and potato pies, a lasagne and tomato soup, was also given a bag of damsons so have made 9 jars of damson jam.

Havn't paid anything off debt this week, waiting for statements to start popping through the door.

Hi, just caught up with your diary. Like you I find being off work expensive, I blame the kids but to be honest, it's me as well!!:o Still, we've got to treat ourselves sometimes!!:beer:

Hi Pennywise,

sorry ive not been around, but now im back with a vengeance haha!!!

Yay to the freebies youve been receiving in the post, I received 2 bottles of small and mighty in the post 2 weeks ago which I was very pleased with!!

Ooohhh I do love the Lakes, which part did you go to? I really love Keswick and Windermere.

Hope the kids dont bring anymore letters home this week!!

We went to Windermere one year when on holiday in the lakes and it was llovely! glad you had a good day.
We have the same thing with partys and loads of presents!! Got a new invite today for a party this weekend so will have to go and fine a present for that one.

One of the few bonuses of having a DD who is 17....no more party invites, although the 6th form Classics trip is to Athens next spring, I'd better get saving.

I studied Classics, but unfortunately missed out on the Athens trip

KIds are so expensive - you want them to make friends but like you say the parties cost loads - presents every week!! Then what happened to kids being happy with a little tea party at home with a game of pass the parcel? And don't start me on the school trips......

Kids aye, who'd have em.

Well seems like i've been shelling money out all day today
£13.75 for milkman
£3.75 for this 1/2 terms teas at work
£3 towards collegues Birthday flowers
£15 halifax credit card
£65.38 shopping at Sainsburys.

Quite pleased with the shopping bill as it started off at £84.26 but with various money off voucher/coupons it reduced quite a bit, could of been less but treated myself/family to some goodies, choccie fudge cake and coca cola being the main culprit, both were on offer, also bought a hand mixer as mine died, could of managed without but its much quicker with a hand mixer and saves time.

Have also ordered a £10 Amazon vouchers from a survey site.

Right gonna have a quick cuppa and pick kiddies up from school.
