    well my trip to aldi was a success spent £7.65 on bread, tomato sauce, mushrooms, grapes, 2 packs of raisins, chips and got my tin foil from poundstretcher for £1 so under £10 :j:j:j Plus i walked there and back so far i have 9664 steps on my fitbit :D

    need to do the Avon run tonight so far i have £467 in orders :j lets see if we can hit £500 that would be a fantastic start to the year with regards to Avon. Means i should earn £125 in commission.

    In other news I've lost another mindee :( but I've already had someone enquiring about the space so fingers crossed something comes of it. On the plus side I'm getting paid four weeks notice so don't need to really worry about til the start of February :T

    The wall situation seems to be moving again the insurance company phoned to say they've sent a email to the builder so they've asked if I could chase them up........good job its a family friend who's doing it :)

    off to make the kids dinner before we need to go out in the cold to collect the avon books but everyone has been texted to say we are coming out to get them ;) organised lol :rotfl:

    Well it's been a interesting day today

    Might have filled my Friday space will find out for defo on Monday :)

    Set up playgroup £2 20 kids attended, also collected a few more avon orders will update my avon total tonight :cool:

    Spent £3.40 on two cheeseburgers for the kids for their lunch, after lunch I dropped the kids off a toddler the nursery

    Walked into the town had a nosey in new look spotted a couple of tops I like :cool: but I have a 20% off discount card but it doesn't start until 14th January so I'll hold out til next week ;) and I have my vouchers think I still have about £35 :T so won't cost me a penny :T

    Put my wages in the bank and bought hubby head and shoulders for £1.99 from homebargains so that's all my spends for the day so not too bad I guess

    The home insurance phoned me again today to say the builder still hasnt phoned them back........how many times do I have to say he's deaf so they'll need to get in touch with him via email. Managed to get a hold of him and he says he'll fill it out at the weekend :T

    So whilst I was on the phone the girl say because it's taken a certain amount of time to resolve my complaint and she said the service I received wasn't adequate they are putting £75 in my bank account next week :eek::eek::eek: can you guess where this is going ;) yip that's right it's going straight into my Halifax card :T so as soon as it clears I'm transferring it over is it's money I won't have missed :D

    Closed my ratesetter account which means that's another account gone forever :T and also phoned my mortgage provider to ask what rate they could give us when it's due for renewal.........they said they can drop it by 0.35 :eek::eek::eek: eh no that's ridiculous so it's ploughing on with getting all accounts sorted for the remortgage at the end of March ready for the end of April xx

    Hope you all have a lovely weekend xx
