:)Had a couple of very large glasses of wine last night.

Well the witch rang me last night, we were having a lovely family meal with my in laws, anyway she started at me on the phone, so i basically told her that i was sick of her put downs, she doesn't see me or the children enough to judge my life and that basically if she has nothing nice to say then not to bother at all, she then said to me fine do what you want, i replied i have since i was 18 when i left home and it kind of ended there.
My in laws couldn't believe how horrible she was and even DS said she always horrid to mummy when i was out of the room, so kids have obviously picked up on it.

Onto more positives things:D- PAY DAY.

but i have spent quite a bit today-

Matalan clothes for kids £31.12 - bought 2 fleece jumper for DS and DD, DS school trousers, DD 2 school blouses,DD swimming costume, DS 2 x jogging bottoms,DD shoes.
Matalan clothes for me- 2 x work trouser £16, slippers £3, underwear £3.

Then spent £17.12 in Sainsburys on packed lunch bits and veg.

Bought car tax today and only put 6 months on which i know is naughty as it works out cheaper to put 12 on, but spent so much last month with all the birthdays and had to borrow £100 off hubby and need to pay that back and don't want to end up short again at the end of this month especially as its a long month as well until next pay day.

Recieved Cravendale tea towels this morning, gran asves the labels for me so i can get the free things:) bless her.

Also had a email from rimmel telling me i've won a foundation so have emailed them back with the shade i want, thats fab hope the colour is ok as it will save me having to buy some.

Having meat and tatty pie for tea, filling is in the slow cooker and it smells yummy.

Oh well back to work tomorrow, better get organised:(.

Thankyou, feeling quite proud of myself today and very upbeat.

Neighbour just been round with a parcel that postie left with her this morning, its some nice and easy foam hair dye and 2 vouchers for free hair dye:D, was only looking at my hair last night and thinking there was a few grey strands showing and it needed colouring, will do it at the weekend when i've time, so more money saved:D.

Also just withdraw £3 from surney site into Paypal, feel like its a very positive start to March.

Just checked my diary and Child benefit is paid tomorrow and as its paid 4 weekly means i get 2 lots this month:j, going to use the second lot for a day out somewhere as a family, should pay it off debt but family time is so important.

Bummer if i'd checked my diary this morning and realised about child benefit i could have put 12 months tax on the car:mad:.

Aww bless you Pennywise you've just made me chuckle about your car tax and child benefit, thats the sort of thing that I would do.

It sounds as though your Mum has had that speech coming for some time, hope its made you feel better by telling her.

Your tea sounds lovely, we had pie as well made with the chicken that was left over from last night.

How do you get all the free samples?

I love Matalan clothes, they have some lovely things especially for the kids and cost a fraction of Next etc.

Take care xx

Evening pennywise, go you on telling your mum where to go basically . I also left home at 18 btw :mad: just couldnt cope with the stress any more. I cant believe she actually rung you and carried it all from last week!

Yay to payday and all the other lovely things that have happened today . Oooohhhh I love meat and potato pie, infact ive just taken my mum (we get on much better nowadays!) to the farmshop and she got some meat for a meat and potato pie and said she would save me a piece for my tea on Thursday :cool:.

Happy March to you x x x

Pennywise,there are many of us who wish we had it in us to tell our mothers to stop giving their opinion on our lives.
Good for you for actually doing it.
Yaaay! To pay day and Matalan.
