  • There's nothing like a big, chunky text book to help you sleep! I did OU when DS was tiny and used to read mine to him instead of bedtime stories. It worked for him too!

  • Well I was expecting to wake up today raring to go but sadly not :(

    I was tired last night so went to bed early but up at various points in the night as my little girl has an ear infection so off school today and I am feeling distinctly bleugh hopefully lots of coffee will perk me up :)

    I did get rid of two lots of accounts yesterday :j one lot to the auditor and one lot where I just do the payments in and out to the book keeper but I will get those back eventually to deal with the auditor. So now I need to move on with the next lot which I want to finish this week was hoping to get a lot done today but that is probably not going to happen :( and then I will be free of accounts until April when I need to do my own :D I will be glad to see the back of them all especially as I have papers everywhere and I need to clear OS's bedroom before he comes home on Friday.

    Also need to make a friend's birthday card today ready to deliver tomorrow. OH and I both made valentine's cards for each other so very :money:and they were nice :D.

    We were way under budget last week so treated ourselves on Friday to a wine box and some San Miguels :D

    This week is going to be a heavy one budget wise as it was fostering respite weekend which means an indian take away as the young man we have has aspergers so likes a set routine - I did enjoy it though :beer:, tonight we are going to cook a special meal in and next weekend OS is home so we need to get extra shopping in and it is someone's birthday ;)

    No reason why it should not be doable though which is a change from a few weeks ago when I thought we would never be able to manage on this budget I really do not know where all the money went our shopping bill is now less than half what is was before and sad person that I am I enjoy going shopping and seeing where I can shave a bit more off :o came home quite giggly on Friday I really must be losing it :eek:

  • Good to see you back, and congrats on the budget, I like the idea of you walking around Mr T's giggling (while some mad woman runsaround nearby with her eyes shut!)

    I think that's why you are so much better at this than me! You have done a huge amount in the last few weeks, if you don't get everything done today don't feel bad
