I spent £120 for one in the uniform shop alone, still need to buy trainers for her too. Thankfully other one has been some donated and some not yet outgrown so only shoes bought for that one!

Im same most expensive shoes i own are running ones that were £30:rotfl:

So expensive isn't it. I could resist taking a photo of DS and he looked so cute in his uniform!

Well, it's the weekend and tackling the house is the plan. DH doesn't know this yet as still in a wine coma!! He was supposed to be starting 2 weeks annual leave but can't take his holiday due to staff sickness. Disappointment all round especially from the children who were looking forward to daddy being at home, and me as I was looking forward to only having to get myself ready for work in the mornings!

Jobs to do......

1) Touch up paintwork in playroom and kitchen
2) Clean all windows
3) Ruthless decluttering (may be taking a few trips to our local charity shop!)
4) Tidy garden

Are the kind of jobs a giveaway of a bigger plan?

Hmm, you are about to appear on an episode of come dine with me?

The queen is coming to visit?

Maybe you are thinking of selling ? :rotfl:

Sell or stay is like ping pong on these boards isn't it :rotfl:

Ours was today ready for the EA and we still haven't called them.

You have Barack Obama coming to Bellydance in the kitchen?

CathT

Haha. We have been to view a house and really like it. Have spent all day cleaning this place and I'm shattered! Tomorrow will be spent touching up paintwork and sorting garden as EA coming on Monday!

I am the worst decision maker ever, this house has what we need though and will be cheaper than extending. It's also a really lovely house!

Hubby's on it for this week getting the EA round. There's nothing like a bit of panic installed in me to get it ready :rotfl:

Quick post from me to update spends.

Food - £187.14
Petrol- £104.42

Yesterday was a bit spendy as we have arranged for replacement flooring for the bathroom to spruce it up, £50 spent. We aren't spending out on things that genuinely don't need doing, there's just been no rush when it's only been for our eyes! Window cleaner coming tomorrow so that's another £10.

We don't get paid until the end of the week and have zero cash so I will have to do some shuffling to keep the account in credit. This is especially important for mortgage application although I think we only need another £20k.

DH has been to work again this morning even though he is meant to be off this week. He has to work all week which is hugely frustrating. Maybe we are meant to be out of the way for the EA to show viewers round? Everything happens for a reason!

We have sorted the garden out to make it look good for photos, I have painted the necessary bits in the kitchen. Just need to move a few more things in kitchen-diner and utility and we are good to go! It's amazing what you can achieve in a weekend. :j

However, if i need to find anything I'm not sure I could! :rotfl:
