    Morning all, as ds isn't here I decided to get up and get shredding :) Day one done (yet again :o), I get bored so quickly with it and i really have to force myself to do it but I feel sooo much better afterwards that it is worth it.

    Today I need to do the food shopping this morning, (am hoing for no more than £30), get some petrol (probably £40) then meet ds at lunchtime and go to the local fun day :D

    Tonight will be sorting finances, getting ready for work again, finding ds p.e. kit and getting ds to get his homework done.

    The ironing is done and put away, ds p.e. kit is sat in its bag in the hall, his shows are cleaned for school, dinner is done, still working on the homework ....

    Tonight I need to get the banking sorted for the month ahead, until I've done that I'm not allowed any time chatting to crouchy, although we haven't chatted much today, just a few texts earlier, I'm out tomorrow night with friends from school, we're going greyhound racing :D so need to get it sorted tonight :)

    Morning all, the csa money has finally arrived in my account this morning (why does it take 2 weeks??), and the mortgage has gone out too so I can adjust my signature. Also received £5 interest from the halifax account, good start to the day :)

    Today is a normal day at school with a meeting for an hour afterwards, then take ds to mums and go greyhound racing :D
