Bedrooms are tidy again, just need a quick dust and hoover through later. Kitchen is tidy, dishwasher is on, just needs a clean of the surfaces and the floor. Bathroom needs a good clean, lounge is strewn with toys but will hoover round them later Its good enough for me to go out today and not worry about.

Time to get dressed, can't decide where we're headed for just yet, but it will be an outdoor day today

congrats on another month of the mortgage gone, you have done amazing with your reduction - i am still so impressed and as you said, you will soon get rid of the 20s altogether, i remember you getting into the 20s,doesn't seem that long ago, you will finish your mortgage in no time really...it is quite an achievement.
have a fabby day out in the sunshine:j

Thankyou Savingmore, a friend said to me last night that seeing how stressd I am about ex-from-hell at the moment, why dind't I just stop saving for the mortgage pot and spend any extras instead :eek: :eek: I know that probably seems the obvious sensible solution to most people, but tbh I've been focused on it for that long now that I don't see spending the extra money as an option, it just never enters my head to touch it; its almost like I'm book-keeping for a business and its completely separate to my own budget if that makes sense? I am dead proud of getting this far aleady with it, and it does help me stick to it and feel I have achieved something despite having a numpty ex to contend with :cool:

Today we went and got ds haircut ready for school (£6.70), then posted back the Blockbusters dvds (cancelled this week :T), then went to a local beach where there are rockpools etc, and the tide was coming in so we went crabbing; we caught about 15 crabs but only managed to get 3 in the bucket as we were rubbish at it. I used to go regularly as a kid and loved it

Then we went to mums and did the guinea-pigs and had a ride following bus routes to see where they went, oh the exciting life I lead

Home now, Bournemouth are winning 3-1 with 15 minutes to go, happy days

Bah, two late goals from Notts County meant Bournemouth only got a draw :cool:

Forgot to include other spends today; £2 in bakers, £3 in co-op, £5 in somerfield. I need to go to tescos and do a proper shop as I keep spending a fiver here and tehre and it works out more expensive in the long-run Yesterdays spends didn't make it onto here either somehow, I know I spent £1 on the scarecrow map, £5 in tesco express, and I'm not sure now if there was anything else Overall though I had £34 left and now that is down to approx £11 :eek: Thats to last until tuesday (payday). Its not too bad though, we dont have anything major planned for tomorrow or monday and tuesday is a family day-out (mum and dads treat). I will probably need to do a food shop but that will now come out of Septembers budget

Morning all, another night with not much sleep So today ds is going to mums to paint the rest of her fence with her, I'm going to tescos and then some housework, then will go back to mums for dinner.

One item is finishing on ebay tonight, not expecting it to go for much, currently has a bid for £1.99, I'd imagine that will be it.

We love crabbing, we go to Lepe and catch loads, last time we lost count over 50!!! DD loves it too. We should do it together soon.
