    Afternoon :hello:

    Thought I would jump one before I collect afterschoolers

    Was super busy yesterday as usual

    Managed to get 6 surveys from PA yesterday :j now have over £20 but I'll hold off til the end of the month and cash out then :D

    Did day 14 of 30ds yesterday as well was snoring at 10.30pm :rotfl:

    Been a spendy day today went to the town for toddlers but before we went there I picked up abbies letters for her anxiety for school / exams so she can hand it in tomorrow

    Nipped into farmfoods and got two loaves of bread for £1.50 and a packet of sweeties for the kids £1

    Then it was off to Game to swap over hubby's faulty game :mad: poor hubby but it's swapped now

    Then we nipped into card factory for Mother's Day cards......could not for the life get a gran one......plenty of nan, nana, nanny and grandma :mad::mad::mad::mad: got my gran a sparkly one spent £1.88 in there

    Then we went to toddlers £3 kids had a riot and too many biscuits :rotfl:

    Hopped on the bus and came home and had lunch, dropped the kids off at nursery then started my next shift

    Nipped back into the town to go to the butchers for a 5kg tub of chicken £19.99 and a row of 20 burgers £8.39 :T then popped into lidl for veg, bananas, cold meat, mushrooms and eggs think I spent just over £7

    Finally got my bank card today after I lost the other one last week :p got all excited about ordering my revolut card so we can use it over in Florida instead of incurring bank charges if we were to use our card topped it up of £50 instead of £10 :mad: silly me so had to shuffle some money over :rotfl: what a plonker

    Sorted out some of my clothes and one of my mindees mums have bought £20 worth of clothees :T so she picked them up today and it's went straight into my Florida tin still got loads to get rid of but hoping they'll go soon xx
