    Was in bed and sleeping for 10pm :rotfl: it is very tiring but it'll be worth it in the long run and I'm setting a example for my kids when they go into the workplace I guess xx

    It's hard work juggling my childminding with avon as well as family life but it all slots in together so I'm very lucky xx

    Afternoon :hello:

    How are we all, hope you're all well :D

    Been a laid back sort of day didn't start work til 8am :T and the kids have played away quite happily we've built dens, played shop and attended our FREE dance class :T and they are now eating lunch

    Need to go up to the town today as hubby needs a cheque paid in, I need to put my avon money into the bank and transfer it over to the Xmas savings :T only got one order to deliver tonight but I'll get Abbie to take it as it's the lady that runs the local youth club :cool:

    Meant to getting £12 from one of my friend sent for her avon order on Friday.......we shall see as she already has her order :mad: and my mil still owes me for hers but that's my money not allocated to anything xx

    Need to get some moisture catchers as some of my windows have a bit of condensation so I'll nip to the pound shop on my way back from the town

    Sent a cheeky tenner to the Halifax card bringing it under £4900 :T I think I've paid over £500 towards the card since my statement came through on the 12th October :T will need to double check this.......don't know how I managed that :rotfl:

    Right off to get the kids bags all ready for nursery xx

    Afternoon :hello:

    Kids eating their lunch so I've jumped on here :hello:

    As usual I can't get on here on a Thursday as it's a manic day more so than usual but managed to collect £472 in avon orders last night :eek: and I've just collected £59 in orders from playgroup :T still go round two to do next Thursday :D

    Started work at 7am got Xander to deliver three more avon books on his way to school as they were right across from the school :rotfl: and I delivered another book to my friend before heading to the local shop to buy biscuits for playgroup. Set up playgroup £3 and 26 kids attended :eek: super noisy :rotfl:

    Went to bakers and spent £6.41 on lunch for three kids and myself and they are eating it right now

    Need to go to bank to put my wages in :T then I need to nip to dunelm for a teddy bear fitted sheet for Abbie as the cold weather is kicking in and they finally have one which goes with her colour scheme :rotfl: for her room but hubby has given me the money so it's not costing me a penny :T

    Sent £19 towards the Halifax card just waiting for the new statement to come through to see how much interest is added to it :mad: and to see exalt how much I paid off within a month :D

    Right off to get ready for the nursery run :hello:

    Well I have my new statement in for the Halifax I'm pleased to say I've cleared £644.51 this month :eek: love the payment a day method as it doesn't feel like you're paying out a fortune :T

    Also checked out the interest that should have been added and what was actually added and the difference is £5.99 I know it's not much but it all adds up over the year :j

    And I've saved over £10.08 in the minimum payment :D which again might not be much but it's a saving in the right direction

    Also great news in the avon department I've got £676 in orders :eek: so far and a further £100 of orders that are out of stock hopefully they'll be back in stock when I submit my order on Friday :D

    Sent £6.77 towards the Halifax card :T

    Hope you're all having a lovely weekend xx
