Morning :hello:

What a miserable day was meant to be going out but. Me and my little mindee have decided to have a day in :j been working since 6.45am :eek: but have managed to get one door upstairs painted with their second coat of paint, having a snack break and I'll go give the bathroom door it's first coat of paint and give my bedroom door it's final coat :j been painting that much my finger has a blister it's a blooming sore xx

I finish work at 4.30pm today so that's not too bad I guess I'm absolutely shattered so is hubby hoping for a early night tonight we shall see

Got a plumber friend coming round tonight seeing as the decorator took my radiator off the wall and when he's put it back it's been leaking quite bad :mad: so hubby will be helping him with that whilst I'm out collecting the rest of my avon orders tonight xx

Still tackling the barclaycard it'll be under the £900 mark tomorrow :j aiming to get this at the £600 mark or less by the end of the month :cool: we shall see xx

Xmas shopping is going really well just need to get selection boxes for my mindees, a book each for my kids, and a couple of little bits for xander and put money in the money cards so I'm organised for now............also organising a Xmas party for the playgroup so need to get around 20 selection boxes and a gift per child but we have the football scratchcards circulating so any money we get from those will go towards this xx

Right off to paint a door xx

I will aiming to clear my 4k next year so will be racing you to the finish line.

Well done on the barclaycard.:T:T:T

Bet your hall looks lovely, just put curtains up finally after decorating mine - so snug now, Thats all my house is having spent on it at the moment, it's a money pit

Have a nice day:D

Our feels like a money pit too my hallway has costs me £500 just for paper and the decorating fees but it's so pretty, managed to get my real crystal ceiling lights before bhs shut down they were £200 each down to £48 each :T so that's my bit of bling in the hallway plus £18 for my blind it's sooooooooo expensive

Hubby has started pricing up the kitchen it'll be around £1000 for brand new carcusses, cupboard doors, ceiling panels, tilesas I ain't scrapping the wallpaper off the ceiling in this room :rotfl: then it's about £1300 for all new appliances including a range cooker for the hubby :rotfl: and a dishwasher for me :j

Good job hubby used to be a kitchen fitter :rotfl:

Sounds like you're doing really well

My parents are having the kitchen renovated atm and there's so much upheaval it's unbelievable (and I don't have to worry about paying for it!), but it will be worth it im the end. Think how much you will enjoy coming home to beautiful rooms

Well a successful avon order has been submitted of £595 :j should gain about £125 after my books have been taken off and a couple of bits I ordered foryself so I'm chuffed so at least £60 will be winging its way towards the credit card hoping to get this to the £609 point by the end of the month might be a push but I will try

Afternoon :hello:

Got a bit of time to myself so thought I would pop on here

Been working since 7.45am will finish at 5pm but I have a wee break in between kiddies :j

Managed to put the last coat of paint on my bathroom door and it's dry before I collect the afterschoolers xx

Went to playgroup and set it up £1.50 mindee peed himself in front of everyone :mad: he's four and he's just lazy :mad: hey ho joys of the job have started organising the Xmas party for the playgroup so far we have 16 kids coming :eek: and I've organised a Santa :j just need to get presents for each kid and a selection box each xx

Came back home did the lunch and nursery run went to toolstation and bought my 4 new shiny coat hooks for the hallway and a rail of cost hooks which will be hidden away for the little ones bags so they aren't strewn all over my hallway anymore :T this cost £15 all in

So not too bad........came home put dinner in the slow cooker, put a washing on and have painted the wood my new shiny hooks to go on hopefully it'll be dry by the time I get to bed so I can give it another coat before going to sleep so that hubby can get it up on the wall tomorrow

Did my usual round down of my accounts need to be careful as I've now got my mortgage coming out of my account instead of hubby's so can't go mad with over payments this week but I'm sure I'll manage some :cool:
