    CAPQUEST IS UNDER £700 YAY!
    paid £22 to them today, £5 to robinson way, £10 to welcome loan/ lewis debt recov

    tomorrow i have got to ay o/p housing benefit and severn trent.
    Went shoping with the mother today and only spent £15 including fags, lunch, some new bottles for my baby and some veg. Have been feeling really sick and had stomach pains all day, so finally gave in and threw up a couple of times. then took my baby to bed and he joined in. so had to change his bed.

    Tomorrow, me and mother are going to IKEA to have a look for a few things that i need for my new home, on the cheap mind you. we may try and have a little look round the school i am thinking by putting my eldest in aswell if the school lets us.

    done a few surveys but nothing major. going to go and have another look on freecycle now as i am still looking for a fridge freezer. does my head in that i just bloody sold 1 tho and then i get told that the fridge is not staying in my new house. grrrr. anyway onwards and upwards.

    did a bit of xmas shopping today, but saved some money by double up vouchers from tesco.

    just been looking a maps of the area that im moving to and there isnt alot there really. think its only a village, but apart from the hairdressers and newsagents near my new home, around the rest of the area, there is only a school, 2 pubs, a post office, a chemist and a few takeaways.
    well i hardly ever go and get my hair done, im trying to lose weight so wont go to takeaways and i hardly ever drink, so i should be saving alot of money maybe thats a good thing but i dont want to get too bored, and i could not see any parks to take the kids. may have to work out a good route for walking so i can walk to the nearest shopping area, if it isnt too far to also save on bus fares. obviously i will need to use the bus on a sunday to drop the kids off with their dad but dont want to fork out any more than that.
