    Thanks ladies just giving myself a hard time as I know some of it will need to go on a credit card but hubby has a 0% offer on his so if it comes to it on the 6th then that's what will happen but I will be paying off as much as I can before then xx

    Just signed a wee boy up that i used to look after is coming back to me, he'll be filling in any days I have available after school and during the holidays so it's extra pennies thankfully so anything I make from him will be getting chucked towards the Florida tickets

    Just sent a small payment towards the tickets my cheque clears tomorrow so that will be getting sent over there too, should have been a bigger payment but PayPal took money out :eek: for a part that hubby bought on eBay for the van so yeah that sucks but needs must :D

    Still waiting on three people to pay me for their avon :mad: they better hurry up as it's a lot of money

    Hubby gave me a scratch card last night he won £20 :j so that'll be going in the tin

    I have sky q installed as it worked out cheaper than the sky we were on so I have a spare box, a multi room box and three remotes and a wireless thing so will get them up on the fb pages and see I find I can get anything for them :T anything will go towards the Florida tin

    Working 7.30am til 5.30pm today then I'm hoping the weather stays nice as we want to put the shed back in the corner but we need to fix the gravel first and we couldn't do that last night a second the rain was horrific and I want it done tonight as I have no washing lines :mad: any more so need the shed to move so I can install the whirley washing line as my washing baskets seem to be breeding :rotfl: the whirley is brand new and came with the house :T so that's good

    Well the last of the slabs are in the skip.......the shed has been moved back into it's original position and hubby put the whirley clothes line up :j And all because of kk who was badgering us to go out the back when we couldn't be bothered so I'm glad he annoyed us lol

    Two of my Avon customers paid me :T so will divide it up and stick some in the tin and I'm putting money aside to take everyone put to see the new avenger movie found a small cinema where it'll cost is £30 instead of the Odeon which would cost us £43 :eek: thats disgusting for 5 people and it's no wonder I rarely go to the cinema now xx
