Comments

LSD today just bought my paper, a magazine, a pck of snackajacks and a tiny bottle of irn bru lol beed to nip out and get some bread tho for tomorrows breakfast lol
got another few jobs round the house done, i've changed DD bedding and done two washing which are drying on the line as we speak, discovered a brand new pciture frame in the back of the massive cupboard in the kitchen so took the surround out and stuck in DS's football top as it's too wee for him and it's got his name on it.....looks really smart if i say so myself. Just need to paint the frame white and thats it matching his furniture not that it bothers him lol
Took the broken bed that has been sitting in my back garden for a couple of months to the tip and on the way back nipped into the carpet shop and have ordered a new rug for my living room (been meaning to do this for ages) they didn't have one in the colour i wanted but they checked with other stores and found one for me so it'll be getting delivered on monday (hopefully) checked on the internet to see how much they normally sell for and it's up to £150 whilst i'm getting it for £65!!!!!! bargain and it's supersoft guess i won't be sitting on the couch lol
will be painting the bathroom radiator tonight whilst the kids are in bed as it's looking yellow.......my grans swears she painted in when i moved in here in august but it looks like it's been painted just in the panels lol so will be doing that tonight
avon getting delivered tomorrow and one of my customers have already paid woo hoo wish they were all like that lol plus my sis has paid for hers as well so bonus start lolNEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.050 -

avon delivery is here and it's all sorted out for delivering tonight, had some people as for tomorrow night which is fine as i'm not working tomorrow nighthopefully get rid of the majority of it before this weekend, that would be perfect

Aww poor kids, what a horrible thing to be UN-invited from a party!! Good bargains on the school uniform, when I had to buy DS for secondary school it had to be specific trouser, and jumpers so cost a bl**dy fortune :mad: they really know how to fleece you (no pun intended there!)
I am stuck on my weight can't shift if from 10st 3lb (double :mad:) soo am hoping my new zumba exercise will help....suppose it would help more though if i didn't eat half a banoffee pie before doing the exercise though... :think::wall:
I wish my parents lived closer, i'd love a child free night! enjoy your peace lol!

i wish my parents bothered with me let alone live near me lol my brother and my gran help out with the kids when i'm working but when i'm not i don't ask for help as i feel too guilty to ask for a babysitter so i can have a night out even tho my gran encourages me to try and get out lol
what i wouldn't give to be 10 st 3 lol haven't weighed that in 10 years lmao you never know miracles might happen lol
I need to get DS two school jumper and DD a school cardigan as her jumper still fit and i'm getting DS a sleeveless pullover but that will set me back £40......it worse than football kits that change every year I tell you lol
Dropped kids off at my grans and offered to clean her cooker for her as the past two weekends when i have been over the cooker has been filling the kitchen up with smoke so i got some ovenpride and it's all nice and clean now..........she was so happy with it and kept thanking me but shes the one that does so much for me so anything to help her out xNEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.050 -
Well I have read through your diary from start to finish over the last day. I think you are doing really well with your debt busting, I think you stand a good chance of getting shot sooner than you think.
Good luck with the job hunting, it is so hard to find things that fit in with children. I am having the same problem myself at the moment.
chevI want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
