    We plan on taking our kids to the beach tonight after we have finished work as today is the only day during the week that we will all be together so that's the plan and dinner will be out the freezer and random as we see the o be running out of food but I'm not due to do a monthly shop til next week :o don't know how that happened lol so yeah that's the plan, beach for about a hour and blow away the cobwebs :rotfl:

    Morning :hello:

    Working 7.15am til 5.30pm kids are watching paw patrol whilst I have my breakfast

    Plan for today is to take the kids for a walk up to the park, hubby is off today so he's taking his cv up to a garage where he seen a job going so I need to print one off for him before we head out

    Then I promised Kk we would go to McDonald's........I'm having a salad as weight in is on Saturday and I'm doing ok so far xx

    Rounded down the account sent over £7 towards the holiday clothing pot..........might need to dip into the holiday savings as we need a roof rack and box think it's going to cost us £180 so instead of putting it on hubby's credit card :mad: like he was telling me I've told him to take it out the holiday spending money and we can put it back before we leave for holiday (really need to take that card off him)

    Need to get dairylea dunkers and tomato sauce as requested by Kk he doesn't ask for much so need to remember to get these xx

    Right off to put a washing on the line and get another in the washing machine xx

    As you can see I haven't hit over the £200 mark this week :( but this is due to the fact we've bought a roof box for the car, was £190 but I got it for £66 from Euro car parts :T bargain so I just used my wages I would normally transfer over on a Friday to pay for I then :j so I only have to buy roof bars.......hubby has found them for £60 which I have in my regular savings account so that's it sorted and don't need to worry about having to pay back the holiday fund.

    Target for next week is £300 :D and I will be hitting it ;)

    Hope you all have a lovely weekend

    As I type my new windows and doors are being fitted :T it's chaos here and the mess :eek: omg :rotfl:

    Hi Abba,

    I hope you are well - kitchen refurb sounds exciting.

    I really cant wait to buy a house to pick a kitchen...I just need to ensure we don't buy a house with a nice kitchen which will scupper my plans!

    Where are you off on holiday?
