Hi mummy, no never got to the bottom of the basket and dd brought home another mountain of washing:eek:.

Been to work this morning, nothing exciting,just the usual grumping and stropping, come to the concluson that i must be mad, have grumpy, stroppy children at home and then go to work to deal with slighty worse grumpy, stroppy children, but at least i get paid for it at work:D.

Have done scratcies -25p
Mysurvey points -5
Also did a HI-epanel survey which took me to 100points so was able to withdraw a £16 amazon voucher:j, first one from them, not sure how long it will take to arrive in my inbox.

Postie brought me a sample of cat crunchies and a cowshed lipbalm, the lipbalm can go straight into holiday bag before dd spots it and nabs it.
Also recieved Barclaycard bill, grand total of £3685.32p:eek::mad:, gone up slightly due to interest, minimum payment is £82.91, need to get Halifax paid off so i can start knocking this one down.

Ok just done a budget for the month, MY Income £634 - My Outgoings £668:eek:, income might be slightly more can't remember how much overtime i put in for exactly, I have also cut grocery spends to £160 for the month, so i need to eBay and do as many surveys as possible, need to get my income around£700- £750 mark to be comfortable, if not there will be no overpayments on halifax card, no night out at end of month and really want to go as all the teachers /teaching assistants where i work have a meal out before we break up for summer and its always a really good let your hair down night:D.

Could ask OH for some money but don't really want to as any extra he has is being spent on doing the house up.

Awwww pennywise you must go to the ball!! I always think to myself that I need to 'allow' myself one night out a month, even if I only spend a couple of £'s on a few diet cokes just to get away from it all.

Really Kn*ck*rd this morning, woke up in the night as we had hell of a thunder storm here, Kids and hubbie managed to snore through it.
At least it feels less humid now and the plants/grass will apprieciate all the rain.

Recieved a £4 paypal payment from doing surveys, so have been able to pay eBay fees:j,well was short in paypal by 73p so made that up just from bank account. so tonight once rugrats are in bed i will start listing, at work all day so can't do this afternoon.

Also Won 10p on free scratchie.

Nothing else to report, Soo glad its payday tommorrow, red petrol light came on in car yesterday on way home from work, should have enough to see me through until tomorrow, i hope:eek:.

Morning pennywise,

have you got a maxi dress in mind? I tend to buy my clothes from Asda as they are reasonable, nice and on trend for me haha!! Although i did bag myself a £12 pair of skinny jeans from DP sale in May!

Oh I woken by the storm too, it was about 4am here and because we all had bedroom windows open our bedroom door kept opening and closing! Very annoying as I had to get out of bed to shut it properly.

Yay to you paying the ebay fees off. Ive got some more stuff ending tomorrow and one thing already has a bid which im please with.

Have a good day at work..
