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 x
Awww you're a good un Abba, your kids are so lucky!
I use ovenpride as well, it does a great job and no scrubbing.
I dont think its sad looking forward to payday at all, its one step nearer to becoming debtfree. DH gets paid 25th so we've got 18 days to go!
Have a good day xx0 -

IT'S PAY DAY TOMORROW WOOP WOOP :j:j:j:j:j:j
anyway it's been a bit of a spend day todayBooked DD's birthday party of 17th July and paid £10 deposit just now and have to pay the rest upfront on the day of the party so have booked the party for 10 kids which leaves DD to invite 6 friends as 4 places are for DD, DS and there two cousins lol so thats one job out the way and it's quite reasonsable too as its £7.50 per child and that includes a game of bowling, a burger meals at wimpey, invitations, party bags and a pressies for the birthday girl so all i need to do is bring a cake lol
Went to wilkinsons for guinea pig food but the had none but ended up getting myself a wee bottle of juice, simple face wipes and popcorn snacks for the pets so spent £4.34 in there.
Then popped into L!dl and god 2 packs of cold meat, letteuce, cumcuber and tomatos for £6.23.
Headed to B&M and got the snack drawer filled up which hasn't been filled up since Feb so was needing it done as DD needs snacks for school so spent £7 in there.
Finally got into asda and bought my paper, coleslaw and a massive bag of value cheese so spent £5.30 in there.
Then walking past a indoor market i popped in to see if they had any quinea pig food and they did :j:j so bought a bag and a new bowl which seems more sturdy than the one i got as they keep tipping it over and spilling there food everywhere :mad:
walked home (6 miles walked) and picked DS up from nursery and made lunch then organsed and posted two ebay parcels.
Just organising my Avon books and will be posting some out this afternoon after DD gets in from school to see if we can get new customers and then we go and collect some tonight and hopefully get some new orders
it's defo a busy day today lol
also need to transfer £100 from paypal for the kids trampoline as it's in asda for £99 so will defo be getting that!!!!!NEXT 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 -
wow you've been busier than me today! (And there was me thinking i'd been productive lol)
I've seen that trampoline in A$da too and kids would LOVE it! BUT I don't think we have room
I am, however, in the middle of clearing the garden so if I can squeeze it in, i WILL haha....(i secretly love them too!)
Birthday party was cheap too! We let DS do a bowling party a few years back and he loved it! I stupidly let him invite all his friends though (thinking 5 tops...) and 15 kids later I was down nearly a whole CC....gone are those days though, bet it feels good that it has come out of budget rather than gone on debt!

It does feel good that i'm paying it on my own than relying on CC's
Transferred the £100 into my account so it should be in the account either wednesday or thursday :j. It's a early joint birthday pressie but tbh i feel really bad that we have a massive garden and have nothing in it except a tree :rotfl: so it's a treat for them lol
plus the trampoline was bought from money i made selling stuff on ebay the last few weeks so technically it's costing me nothing!!!!!! now that feels even better. DS has asked for a swing and slide for his birthday which is in august so that the garden toys sorted this year as last year when we moved into this flat i concentrated on getting that in order first again nothing went on the credit card as I had two grand in savings and bought everything with it cooker, fridge freezer washing machine, ikea furniture beds, mattresses etc etc etc so i defo made the money spread lol
thats us just back from getting those extra avon books out tonight so hopefully next monday we will have a couple of new customers
so just off to make some pasta then start getting ready for collecting our first batch of avon books 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 -
