£6.40 paid to B&Q today. Not much more to go I don't think, should certainly be gone by the end of the month.

Finally got DW tyre fixed after pumping it up every week for the last 2 months, felt a bit of an idiot when it only came to £15 and I was putting it off as I thought it might cost a furtune. They also told me that the back two tyres only have about 3000 miles left in them, so thats a large bill for end of August I think, but at least we know now so we can budget for that expense.

Ah twin dad thats one less to worry about, did they give a price estimate on back tyres you have something to budget for ... keep up the good work on the b and q card

Cost about £200 for the two front tyres about 6 months ago - but that was very cheap, they were meant to call me before fitting them to tell me the price, but they put them on then rang me to say the cost, so I argued that I could get them cheaper else where. In reality the cheapest alternative would have cost £350 so I did get a bargain. Hopefully get them this time for about £250.

It is more of a minibus!

I have just rung Boots about the nappies I ordered last month. We use cloth nappies with the baby and the twin just use pull ups overnight but spent ages pricing up some good bulk buys with holidays in mind but the naughty little man has grown beyond belief and is way out of the size 3's so have arranged with Boots to take them back and swap for size 4's. I might be sneaky and swap the swim nappies, which we need but just return the normal nappies as we still have size 3s open to be used and can get by on cloth anyway. Normally we would save ourselves the hassle, bought more and given the others away so i feel like my halo is super shiney today!

Think we might head to some carboots this weekend, just to see which one in our area would be the best for us to sell stuff at. I think I'd rather look at them first before going there to sell stuff. I'd hate to spend loads of time sorting everything out, getting the car packed up and then turn up and find the carboot sale isn't very busy.
Also I'm not really sure what people sell at carboots and how much people expect to pay for things, but we've certainly got plenty of stuff we could do with getting rid of.

I really hope you're not referring to me there! i don't think I'd fetch much.

Busy evening ahead of us. I haven't stopped all day. I need to pack website orders, make more slips to go in with phoenix packs, nip to staples for more grip seal bags, sort out more Phoenix catalogue packs, do a catalogue drop, take around completed(ish) phoenix orders and collect in catalogues and hopefully orders. The house is also a mess - can you guess what won't get done?

There's also a world cup semi final to watch...
