Have had a lovely couple of days
My mum had the kids yesterday so me and DH could go to the shops - we went to the shops and found some bargains :j got a couple of bits from tkmax and the entertainer. Also went in the Disney store just to see.....and they had a massive mini teddy for half price!!! DD will LOVE IT!!!!! We have quiet a few presents now but just need to get dd3 a few more (she has 3 things at the moe so will just get some more small bits??)ds one or two (otherwise the girls will think he has been naughty if he doesnt get any:p) then the kids are done!! I still have my parents and inlaws etc....who knows what to get them......
Have had a nice quiet day around the house today. Playing with the kids and doing some housework. DH did have to pop and get some milk but seeing as we havent done a shop i dont mind
Going to have to get a shop in the next few days so will do a meal plan and list tonight.GC: Nov: £60.22/£450 Oct: £338.48/£450, July: £363.05/£450, June £447.98/£500£2 savers No68: £104/£100 :j:jmummy to: 8yr, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, 1yr. No6 Due Mar 2013 My world.:j0 -

So slippy here today - im surprised i made it on all the school runs without falling on my bum!!
I had my bill from Eon today and they want to put my dd up by £46 a mth:eek: Ive phoned them and they have agreed to put it up by £32 a mth which they say will cover what im using and take 9mths to cover the amount i owe!! Npower says I can give a reading 6 times a quarter...so i think i might try giving them one every 2 weeks to see if it helps me keep a eye on it all??
Better go and get dinner on we are having sausage and bacon pasta bake.
Got tesco coming in a bit so will update sig for the GC.GC: Nov: £60.22/£450 Oct: £338.48/£450, July: £363.05/£450, June £447.98/£500£2 savers No68: £104/£100 :j:jmummy to: 8yr, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, 1yr. No6 Due Mar 2013 My world.:j0 -

Thank you Pinky. I did get some nice things
Its soooo wet today!! Its going to be so slippy out there when the temp drops later.
Its a NSD today. Also got a letter from npower with a payment because they unfairly charged me in 2007 or something. Its for £47 so will be a nice little extra for over the holidays - I know i should pay it straight of the cc but we are soooo tight at the mo so it will be nice
Using up things in the freezer at the mo so that we can fill up on xmas snack food etc as our freezer is sooo small it hardly fits our normal food in.
Still feel very unorganised for xmas and DH just wants to keep buying the girls presents but isnt worried about people like his parents or how we are going to pay for all these extra presents :mad:
I need to sort out a table in our living room as it has things stored under it and seems to be where anything lives at the mo and we are getting rid of it so we can fit the kitchen in the girls have for xmas. So going to sort that out this afternoon i think...... Got to have a nice cup of tea first as its soooooooooo coldGC: Nov: £60.22/£450 Oct: £338.48/£450, July: £363.05/£450, June £447.98/£500£2 savers No68: £104/£100 :j:jmummy to: 8yr, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, 1yr.
