    Afternoon :hello:

    A cheeky £10 sent towards the Halifax card bringing it under another £100 threshold can't wait to get this under the £4K mark :cool:

    Kids are eating lunch so thought I would jump on :D

    Managed to do an hour of ironing this morning whilst the kids had their breakfast before school reckon I have another hours worth of ironing left tho but needs must :(

    Started work at 7.30am won't finish til 6pm :eek:

    Went to toddlers £3 via the bus £4 was a quiet group today meant there was more biscuits for my greedy kids :rotfl:

    Need to nip to homebargains for fairy non bio £3.99 and then I need to pop to lidl for cold meat, milk and some fruit so I've got £10 in my purse hoping to stay under budget :A will go when I've dropped this lot at nursery and I've picked up my afternoon mindee up............she loves the bus :T

    Will have after schoolers tonight but need to get my three fed before 6pm as we have a maths tutor coming out to coach Abbie before her math exam next week.......not got a price yet :eek: but it's the only subject she's truely struggling with so we need to get in extra help xx

    Need to chase the home insurance regarding our claim was told it was verified as a go before Xmas so when I hadn't received any money into the bank to pay the builder it turns out it wasn't verified as they needed to ask the builder a few questions but he's on holiday until the 12th :eek::eek::eek: !!!!!! just want my wall sorted as the kids haven't been out the back since September :mad::mad::mad:

    Off to get ready for round two of running about :rotfl:

    Morning :hello:

    Yesterday was a nsd :j

    Today won't be :rotfl: as need raisins, tomato sauce, mushrooms, kitchen foil, chips and a light bulb for abbies room as it blew the other night and tripped my electrics :rotfl:

    It's a easy sort of day today don't start work til 1pm, been up got a shower and chilled with Kk for a while, filled out xanders form for his high school transfer :eek::eek::eek: omg where did the time go ????

    So I'm working 1pm til 5pm so seeing as it's a sunny day I'll be heading to Aldi for my little bits and poundstretcher for the bulbs with my wee mindee and grab some fresh air :T

    Got avon to do tonight not many books to pick up tonight and I need to message a few to see I feel they want anything.......I think I'm past the £400 and I've gained another new customer :T

    Decided that half the avon will be sent towards the Halifax and the rest will remain in my purse ;) means I won't need to touch my bank account :T

    Need to book my Florida park tickets managed to get a price match and saved just under £300 plus got tickets for the Kennedy space centre flung in for free :T so massaged them to say I found a code for mse which gives me a discount of £6 per person but might be chancing my luck here :rotfl: they can only say no :rotfl: but need to put the deposit down for the tickets this weekend........deposit money already set aside for this :T so at least I'm a bit prepared for this holiday :rotfl:

    Off for some cuddles with Kk before he goes to nursery xx
