The snack drawer is a test of my willpower as its heaving with chocolate and biscuits :rotfl::rotfl:

Working 7am til 7pm today so long day ahead plus Mother Nature is being rotten to me today very very bloated and uncomfortable.

Checked the banking still in the black but with the weekend coming up its highly doubtful that we will continue to do so as Abbie needs a new jacket........she's been eyeing up a converse one at £50 but found it in tkmaxx for £24.99 :T so need to take her there and let her try it on as it looks massive :eek:

All bill are paid and up to date so can't complain, hubby haves given me money for playgroup and xanders lunch so don't need to find that today :T does that means it's technically a nsd seeing as it's not came out my pocket lol

Taking me and Abbie up to the beauty salon to get our eyebrows sorted after school then we need to go to Asda afterwards as Kk needs nappies as I only have pull ups and he pees right through them :mad: so need to change the money every half hour xx

Tax credits get paid on Wednesday plus I get paid on Monday so just hoping I can have a quiet weekend in, told the hubby we have to get the garden sorted for winter, he needs to get the shed sorted and we need to get things sorted out in the house and do a tip run and a charity shop run as XMAS is coming so want to create space and get rid of stuff

Started with abbies wardrobe last night and we were brutal anything she didn't want / wear was put in a charity shop pile and we managed to get a black bag out of there :eek: plus a box full of paper from her arts and crafts drawers and a bag full of books she no longer reads so we are getting there with her room as she's getting grown up now xx

Right off to get ready for playgroup xx

Well done on your payments doing brilliantly.

Yikes long day, hope you survive.

Sorry I missed your Angels anniversary, haven't had lot of time lately. Hugs must be an incredibly tough time.

Will pop in more regularly now x

Evening :hello:

Thanks for popping in calling :hello:

Mine and abbies eyebrows are all beautiful again thank goodness I think the hulk had a better set than us put together :rotfl: so that cost me £15 to get our eyebrows waxed and mines tinted x

Then we walked to Asda and got nappies for £4.50.......avoided buying snacks and juice by getting the kids to fill bottles up with diluting juice and taking a snack from the snack drawer :rotfl: naughty stingy abba tight !!! lol xx

Finished gutting abbies room so we have officially got two bags going to the charity shop and a black bag went out in the bin so that's her room sorted and the boys was gutted not that long ago but xander wants rid of his beanbag as no one uses it so that's going too xx

Tomorrow we have our room to sort and hubby has finally seen the light in that all the car stuff in his wardrobe needs to go out in the shed :T so we should have more space in our room for storing XMAS pressies :T and under our bed needs done too there's a lot of carp that we haven't even touched since we moved in 2 years ago so the local tip will be accumulating a lot of our stuff as its time to get brutal as we aren't taking rubbish with us when we move xx

abba1772

Evening :hello:

Well we did it we cleared out the shed :T and hubby's wardrobe is a cleared out and looking like a wardrobe.......finally after over 2 years of looking like a car spare parts section :rotfl: and we cleared under my bed 6 bags went to the charity shop and over 12 black bags and part of a climbing frame went to the tip :T

The bad news..........I've trapped a nerve in my back making it very sore to walk just what I need for work tomorrow :eek: been moving slowly and also resting xx

Received a £60 cheque from my card protection I had in 2005 :eek: apparently we are all getting compensated so that's going into the mortgage pot :T aiming to get this back up to £4000 by the end of this month plus get the argos card cleared this month too so I have two targets this month

LSD weekend spent £25 on a new jacket for Abbie but she's giving me two jackets to put on ebay so it should cancel itself out and £11 in Tesco on Saturday night munchies and under £5 today on cheese bread rolls and milk so I'm happy with those spends

Sold kk's garden swing for £10 on gumtree so it's getting collected on Tuesday so £5 will be going into the mortgage pot when I get the money in my hand xx

Off to get my dinner

abba1772

Afternoon :hello:

Kids are eating so jumped on here for a bit

Rounded down my account so sent £11.13 towards my Argos card so that's sitting at £277.71 :T getting their slowly but surely

One of my parents have paid me to that's money going straight into my bank tomorrow as well as my cheque :T

Back is aching but easing off a bit, took the three boys to playgroup today £2 and bought a bottle of juice for myself £1 so a LSD today

Hubby asked me to put a car part on gumtree for him so I sold it this morning for £40 so I'll say to him that's money for his lights off ebay so he can just leave the money with me and that'll come out my account once he's bought them from ebay xx

Hopefully the person coming to collect the swing set is still coming tomorrow if not I have another buyer lined up :T

Right off to get kids settled for quiet time xx

abba1772

Evening :hello:

Been working since 7am and won't finish til 7pm :eek:

Back is easing a bit more thank goodness still achy decided to walk to town to see if it helped and it did went to get abbies watch a new battery and was quoted at timpsons £8.95 :eek: told then nope not a chance and found a local key cutter who did it for £3.95 :T saved myself a fiver

Nipped into wh smith to get my trashy mags and ended up getting xander a marvel comic book RRP £25 it was down at £6 :T so that'll get out by for his XMAS

Nipped into homebargains and spent £8 getting a new lunch box for xander, shower gel for me and Bob then popped into farmfoods and got diluting juice, cheese, two bottles of milk and Nutella snacks for £8.50

Went to toddlers £1 then got the bus home as I didn't want to push the luck regarding my back

Put my wages in the bank and forgot my cheque :mad: so need to do that tomorrow

Sent £27.71 to my Argos card so that's it down to £250 :T tax credits go in tomorrow so will see what I can fling towards the Argos card tomorrow it's quite addictive watching this balance go down lol

Delivering the swing set I sold on gumtree so once the money is in my hands I will transferring £5 into the mortgage account......it all adds up feeling confident I'll get back to £4000 by the end of this month then hopefully college will pull their finger out and pay me next month for one of my students it's getting quite frustrating xx
