Dinner was lovely we went to weatherspoon.......hubby paid even better
So I'm drained today didn't want Tod get out of my bed this morning
Soft play was £8.40 for three kids :T not bad plus I took snacks and packed lunches
Nipped to homebargains and got my shampoo, conditioner, paper towels, drinks for us and a banana hanger........is the that the right thing to call it :rotfl: spent £11 in there
Managed to get to Tesco got four pairs of trousers and four shirts for Xander and a scientific calculator for £37 :T
Still need to get him jumpers though
Nipped to matalan as Abbie wanted black shirts .......there's always one difficult child isn't there :rotfl: managed to get three of them for £21 and a pair of leggings for me £6
So a bit of a spendy day
Oh and the last bundle of clothes have been picked up for £13 for them which will be going towards the Halifax card tomorrow
Hoping to send a large payment tomorrow as tax credits are due so it should take a wee chunk out of my wee target xxNEXT 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 as you can see I've taken a chunk out of my mini target
Tax credits paid us extra because last years wages were no where near what we estimated
So I sent the extra money towards the Halifax card I knew it was coming but didn't want to count my chickens until it was in my bank :j bye bye :hello: £800.99
This leaves me with £359.88 to find by the end of the monththis I hope I can do :cool:
Was working another one of my extra shifts so started work at 8am will finish at 6pm tonight and I wonder why im tired :rotfl:
Took the kids to the cinema £10 for four tickets went to see Patrick it was quite funny
Obviously we went to Asda spent £4 on snacks for the kids, fruit for me and a drink for me
After the cinema nipped back into Asda to look at school jumpers .......there was none :mad: got loads of yellow ticketed items spent £10 that's our packed lunches sorted for tomorrow's trip xx
Really need to get on with my ironing pile I haven't got the notion but it needs done xx
Have the blind company coming round tonight to give me a quote for replacing the slats on my blind in my bedroom hoping it's not too expensive xxNEXT 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 -

Thank you to everyone from Luke, he was really chuffed that people that don't know him took the time to congratulate him
That's a fabulous chunk of debt gone abba, your really smashing that target! I hope you manage to get school jumpers elsewhere, we managed to get the last of the uniform today thank goodness.
Fingers crossed for a reasonable quote on the blinds xx0 -
Amazing Abba!
