It always expensive this time of month with all three of my kids having birthdays within a 4 week period plus summer holidays and a holiday it's always going to be tight roll on end of August :rotfl: where hopefully it'll all settle down xx

Kids are all sleeping bless them all three of them crashed out, been working since 7.30am won't finish til 5.30pm but it's going in kinda quick tbh, I've sorted out my childminding notice board took the older kids to the club that the schoo is running can home and the younger ones have helped me deweed the front garden.......along with some flowers :rotfl: so it's starting to look a bit smarter

Have done three washings so far, another one in the machine just waiting on that finishing then I'm going to strip the boys beds and gets them out on the line seeing as it's a lovely day outside, too hot for me and the kids so we've just been in the and out the house like a yoyo :rotfl:

So far it's been a nsd today :j haven't had one of those is ages :T think I need to start aiming for these again even if it's like 5 a month it would make a big difference

Waiting in the man coming to fit my blinds appointment is between 1pm and 6pm here's hoping he's not too late as want to take the kids out on their bikes once I've finished working xx

Evening :hello:

Been a productive day.....was working from 8.30am til 5.30pm spent £2 on juice for me so I'm happy with the LSD

I won my fight with our previous landlord and they've put the money the owe me into my bank :T happy days bunch of chancers.......so paid off what I needed to cover the minimum payment and rounded down my account and sent some money towards the Argos card :j

Managed to get some paperwork for my childminding sorted out so that's a bonus xx

Afternoon :hello:

All three littles ones are crashed out so thought I would nip in here xx

Rounded down my account so my Argos card is just under £300 :T next target is to get it under £200 by next week here's hoping lol xx

It was my 2nd wedding anniversary yesterday but we didn't really do anything to mark it as we are both back on the weight watchers band wagon and money was a bit tight but my mil is having the kids this weekend so we plan to go out for our dinner tomorrow, get a cheeky takeaway for tomorrow night and just see where the weekend takes us seeing I've been paid by one of my fab parents xx

So hope you all have a fab weekend xx

Had horrible news at the weekend that one of the toddlers who attends my playgroup who would have been 2 in September passed away in his sleep his poor mum and brother who found him so I organised a kitty between myself and the ladies who attend the playgroup and we have £30 to put in a birthday card as it's the older brothers birthday tomorrow and I've ordered a necklace with his name on it for his mum......he was a such a cheeky chappy and he was taken to so RIP little one

So it's kinda make me look at life a little differently, spoke to hubby and we decided to book a holiday this year I know it's not very :money: but hey ho

Went tot the travel agents was getting quoted up to £3600 for Spain saw that one of the agents who quoted us £2999 was using first choice so went home, got on their website and by booking the same hotel I got it for £200 cheaper and got £103 cash back :T had to put £380 deposit on the credit card but I've paid £200 back already :T

Nipped into my local bhs and they had super pretty ceiling lights, they were £200 reduced to £160 then reduced to £59.99 plus I got 20% off so got them for £48 each as I bought 2 so defo got a bargain plus got Kk a suit for a upcoming wedding in October was £38 got it for £14 :T so defo got bargains this weekend xx

Need to go to the butchers today for mince, stewing steak, beef ham and steaks we are trying something new with fresh meat from butchers, we got 23 chicken breasts for £19.99 20 burgers for £8 and we are going to get the rest of our shopping from lidl and see if we can get our food shop cheaper than the £200 we normally spend xx

Got a few avon orders to get rid of today hopefully means I can pay my invoice tomorrow.........I will have earned £78 from it so going to half away for the boys birthday trip to the space centre every penny counts :rotfl:

I'm going round to see her tonight just don't know what to say

Hubby is flapping about the £625 we need to pay by September 17th but with the cash back of £103 plus I'm nearing completion on my yougov surveys so that's another £50 so technically we only need to find £473 which sounds much more manageable then we need to clear the balance of £1800 by April 2017 which I hope will be manageable xx
