    It is :D got paid today so sent £79 towards the holiday fund I'm getting there sent £150 toward my first choice account and I've still got £11.05 in the holiday account :j so I've managed to put away £661.05 away within a couple of weeks :D

    Next week won't be as good tho :( as a few of my kids are on holiday which either earns no pay (term time only) or half pay but we shall see xx

    Went to playgroup today £1 had a few new faces :T it's been just over a year since I took it over and it's fair to say playgroup is a success plus I started out there with 56p left in the bank and I'm proud to say there is £300 in there so I'm well chuffed xx that's not mine to use this that's sorely the playgroups money xx

    Bought my rolls to take to my grans £6.50, this seems to be a regular thing now since her doggy died was lovely to have a wee natter to her plus she's coming round tomorrow so I can renew her driving licence online for her so I've said I'll make her lunch :A

    Window in kitchen has had three coats of paint and hubby has finished two sections so he's only got to plaster the wall above the cooker finish his lights next to the cooker, put the splashback up and then the breakfast bar, this will all be done by the weekend and then the tiler is coming Monday night to start the tiling :T the end is finally in sight after 4 weeks of hard slog but it'll be worth it xx

    Oh dear

    It's a tight week in this household this week as purchased all the stuff for the tiler who's meant to be coming out today

    Spent £102 in b&q on tiles and all the other stuff that goes with it :eek: plus I have put the money for the tiler to one side shouldn't be more that £90 :D she says hopefully

    All money in the bank accounted for :( this I have a fiver to last me the whole week but freezers and cupboards are stocked up

    Sent a cheeky 40p :eek: towards the holiday fund better than nothing but me and hubby don't get paid til Friday so we will just need to suck it up and get on with it xx

    Got playgroup to set up today so off to get kids out their bed and get ready for that xx

    Morning :hello:

    Couch payments (only 6 more to go) and carpet payments (only 3 more to go) have gone out taking my debt repayments for the year so far over the £1k threshold :j

    Sent 45p over to the holiday fund, know it's not much but better than nothing

    Car payment due out tomorrow money is in bank for that transfered £20 over to my account from the savings seeing as the tiler is here on Friday and we both get paid on Friday so makes no sense to struggle that much.

    Need to take the adhesive and grout back to b&q tiler is buying his own this is included in the £100 price :T so will sent the refund to the holiday fund, also should be getting a refund from eBay for a splashback we've bought so again if I do get it refunded then that too will be going to the holiday fund so we should have a extra £50 going in there by the end of the week :T

    Avon orders coming in nicely, hit the £400 mark so that's £100 commission so far :j thank goodness lol xx

    Off to take the boys to toddlers and get a few bits from lidls xx

    Went to toddlers £1 had to buy myself a bottle of juice as I ran out at home 79p the. We went to lidls and spent £9.35 on cereal, bananas, broccoli, 2 bottles of diluting juice, sausage rolls for the bòys lunch, cold meat and chips so that was quite good and popped into local shops before we went home to buy two bottles of juice of me £2 so I've done not bad on the money front today :j

    Now I need to go sort the eBay fiasco and abbies phone to be returned xx
