    Dinner was lovely we went to weatherspoon.......hubby paid even better :D

    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 :D

    Hoping to send a large payment tomorrow as tax credits are due so it should take a wee chunk out of my wee target xx

    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 month :D this 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 :D

    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 xx

    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 xx
