We had a nice afternoon at mums, ds has been helping her paint her fence and he loved it We may be going again tomorrow, weather permitting, to do some more.

Spendwise I spent about £11 on bread, milk, bisucits etc followed by fish/chips for tea

Mum had been into Pirmark for the first time ever yesterday and treated ds and I to a pair of pj's each for the winter; they are the fleecy ones they do that I always buy a new pair each winter, so at least I won't need to now this year :T

Morning, the weather here is looking seriously pants today So its looking like a mainly indoor day again. Ds is happy with that, he's got all his shop stuff out and is playing shopkeepers

I'm expecting a delivery from Next today, I was very naughty and have ordered some leggings which I desperately need, and a dress for work. Total cost = £48 but if the dress isn't totally lovely then it can go back. It does however look lovely in the pic, just depends on the fit once its on.

Nothing new in the banking today, not much else to report at all really; if we're in today I may try and list what I have in the present cupboard so I can begin to think about xmas when I go back to school.

Next order has arrived and the dress is yummy, will look fab with thick tights and chunky boots in the winter and makes a change from living in trousers for the next 6 months

Linky ...

Clearly I don't look like that but never mind

I love this look. It's mainly what I wear to work in the autumn and winter - nice 'n' snuggly. I love when the seasons change and new styles come out...not that I can afford to go mad but it's nice to get some new bits.

A very productive morning here; I have gutted two cupboards in my room, the ones that hold all the paperwork, photos, general bits that need to be kept but don't really live anywhere ... anyway, two bin bags are now full ready for the tip and the cupboards are looking much better They are the kind of cupboards that never stay tidy for long and always need sorting, but at least I know that when I go back to school they are up to date for now

I also found my glasses that I haven't worn for months and months, anyway put them on and everything was soooo much clearer, hadn't realised how much I need to wear them So I must start wearing them daily again now.

So, this afternoon I am going to spend some time playing with ds, hopefully try and encourage him into a bit of reading and writing too without him noticing Other than that most of the flat is still reasonably tidy, I will potter and stay on top of bits and pieces but overall its fairly good right now

I've just had a phonecall from the csa .....

He's made a payment today to them :j :j
but instead of the £523 that he owes them he's paid £200 :cool: :cool:

I guess its better than nothing, at least its some of it, I should get it next week and it can go into the mortgage pot when it arrives; now the battle starts to recover the rest of what he owes :mad:

This is good. Hopefully you'll get more soon. Mine was in arrears for 2 years (and there still doesn't seem to be a logical pattern as to when it goes in but at least it does in dribs and drabs).

Doesn't help when you're on a budget and need to allocate funds though

Sorry hun just seen your reply.... we're still ok for 2moro but I think weather meant to be pants!!!

Shall we see what it's like 2moro and decide then? x
