Just back from butchers.....don't know if it's a good deal or not so any butcher shoppers should be able to tell me .......for £49 I got the following:

1lb of pork sausages
1lb of beef sausages
4 sirloin steaks
8 beef olives
2lb mince
2lb of stewing steak
12 slices of Lorne sausages
£5 worth of beef ham

Is that a good price or have I been robbed

Well bit of a spendy day today but but it was all budgeted for and I came under budget :T

Bought xanders school bag today was £24.99 reduced to £19.99 so rushed out to buy that, bought Xander a new charger for his Xbox controller as his is broke Argos wanted £12.99 but game were selling it for £7.99, needed to get tuna farmfoods were selling six tins for £3.49 but home bargain were selling individual tins for so bought 5 tins for £1.95 :T also got a bath Matt for the bath which was only £3.99 so I had just over £40 in my purse and came back with over £7 so I'm happy with that :cool:

Rounded down the account today so sent £5.12 towards the Argos card it's coming down slowly not as quick as I would have liked but I've got two birthdays and two sets of school uniform to buy this year plus a 5 hour car trip to take the boys to the space centre :rotfl: glutton for punishment I am xx

Got rid of two avons today one before my shopping trip but she still owes me £3 :mad: and another collected their orders of £20 so I've got money in my purse to last me til the weekend and only got one more avon to deliver and that's for tomorrow so I'm hoping this money will last me through til Saturday as we are off to ikea on Sunday

Evening :hello:

Been an ok day today was working from 7.30am til 5.30pm so a long day felt sluggish and tired all day but we got through the day xx

Spent £10 on a much needed eyebrow wax and tint............looks much better xx

Managed to get my weekly ironing pile done whilst my little mindee went for her nap

Then collected my avon books in got some orders but hoping I get a decent amount next week as it wasn't the best tbh

No debt repayments today as account still even if that makes sense xx

Wrote a whole waffle and yet it disappeared :mad:

Took kids to cinema yesterday for four of us it was £10 :j bought lunch £7.20 then it was off to home bargains and spent £6 so not too bad spends and nothing came out of my bank account......it all came out the purse

Managed to get the avon customer to pay me for her order plus forgot about another customer owning me £3 so got that as well yesterday :j so I gained £22 yesterday so that plus the change in my purse will last me til tomorrow :rotfl:

It's weigh in today hope I lose as been so good..........we shall see normally after weigh in we got nuts as its the one day we can eat what we want but I'm coming home to make quiche with salad and beans, saves eating takeaway burgers etc

Need to nip into tesco for stuff for hubby to make lasagna :j and milk and butter so should be able to make what's in my purse last

Not anticipating any more spends today as tomorrow we are off to ikea again that will be budgeted xx

Also had a productive search for hotels, airport parking and travel insurance, the travel operator wanted £99 for just travel insurance I've managed to find all of these for just £101 plus cash back

Plus I searched my car insurance and I can get it for £198 plus £27 cash back so I'm happy with that saves me a tenner a month xx

Morning :hello:

Got a short shift today working 8am til 1pm today but had. Productive morning so far gutted the kitchen cupboard and allocated stuff to the charity shop and tip so that's been put in the car ready for when I finish work where we will head to the charity shop and the tip......live getting rid of stuff

Went to IKEA yesterday complained about the boys wardrobe that was broke and never heard Anything from IKEA customer services so they refunded us £60 :T so that paid for lunch and some other stuff from IKEA think I spent just over £100 there but because of the refund it was technically £40 :j plus bought a wardrobe frame as the one we bought was too big so I've put the big frame on gumtree will get it on fb selling pages tonight so hoping to recoup the £30 I spent on the smaller frame , also got a few things on gumtree so hoping for some sales :rotfl:

Changed my address on my couch and carpets accounts so that's another thing off my list and finally organised changing the address on the car, need to go to post office to get some forms for the licences and a lost log book for hubby's car which could potentially cost us £25 :mad:

I have £102 in my purse will need to go to the bank tomorrow and put the majority of it in and I'll see how we are doing for money and allocate it to a debt preferably barclaycard as that needs paying and I nearly forgot all about it last month so if I pay it now then it's something else off my to do list xx

Going to collect abbies trainers found the exact ones she wants for £40 where everywhere else was £75 :eek: so defo saved some money there xx

One of my parents who's been on holiday for over a month has finally realised she needs to pay me so if she does and that's a big if as I gave her notice to no longer provide childcare as of 31st August then I'll pay for the tickets for the space centre with that and the rest can go into the Halifax card to clear some of the deposit money off of that for the holiday :T

Rounded down my account and sent £18.53 towards the Argos card will be back to hitting this again as want it gone by end of August

Sorry the foe novel :rotfl:

Well I no longer have £102 in my purse :rotfl:

£5 went to the window cleaner
£1 on a bottle of juice whilst I took the kids to the park
£12 on a sand put for the garden for the kids
£1 for bread
£1.08 for two bottles of water

Could have been worse I guess :rotfl:

Managed to take another trip to the tip as well :j so I'm happy with that, now I'm off to do my accounts xx
