    Afternoon :hello:

    Got the morning off so walked into town took the kids games into gamestation and got £20 for them :j so bought their dad the game he wanted and I only had to put £25 towards it :j

    Ordered hubby's hoody, having it made for him but it only cost £23 :j

    So that's two more things off my list

    Spent £14 in homebargaijns on gift tags, Xmas cards, a doddle magic thing for kk for Xmas, 3 packets of chocolate bars for the snack drawer, nipped into pound land spent £3 on cello tape and washing up liquid

    Then it was off to dunelm for a new bed sheet............a teddy bear one for £16.99, hubby wants electric blankets :eek: told him to try these sheets out first and they are cheaper than the electric blankets xx they are so soft so we will see how we get on and if they are ok I'll be getting them for the boys room next week

    No debt or savings payment today but hoping if the college pay me tomorrow that'll change :D:D

    College paid ...........well not all of it :mad: so transferred £250 towards my mortgage account so I've hit my £5100 target and sold a toy last night for £5 so put £2.50 in the mortgage account so I'm defo past the half way mark :j:T:j:T:j:T:j:T:j

    Need to write a letter of notice for the girl who the college didn't pay as they are completely wasting my time lucky if I've had the girl 5 times in 4 months so I'll hand notice in to her today and advertise the space I have available, not bothered if I fill it tbh as it means I get an occasional Thursday or Friday off xx

    Got an extra payment for tax credits ?!?!?!?! Don't know why phoned them a couple of days ago as they mucked up my paperwork so wondering if that's why.....................will be paying over £170 towards the credit card so that'll take a massive chunk out of it xx

    Right off to get the lazy butts up for work /school had a rough night with kk and my eyes are nipping xx

    Was working from 7am til 1pm then again at 3pm til 4pm so not too bad xx

    Went to playgroup today £1.50, paid for the Santa party £3 and bought myself a bottle of juice £1 and handed £5 into xanders school so he can get himself lunch and buy rubbish from the Xmas fayre, dreading what rubbish he will bring back :rotfl:

    Walked to pound stretchers and bought tomato sauce £1.49 and a new diary £1.49 for next year (I live by my diary) popped into pounds and and spent £16 :eek: got hand wash, crisps, chocolates and colouring in books for my mindees Xmas bags but I have 7 mindees all together :eek: so at least I have their Xmas presents out the way now xx

    Then popped into dunelm mill and bought the boys their teddy bear fitted sheets as the one I bought for myself was so cosy and warm so seeing as I got rid of another avon order I spent the money on the sheets so it never came out of my bank account which is always a bonus lol xx

    Need to get big bottles of juice but my shop is doing two bottles for £2 :j so no need to walk into the town for just now as refuse to pay £2 for 1 bottle lol xx
