    Thought I was being smart with putting money by for my pink tickets........three tickets cost me £285 :eek::eek:

    I promise I will pay this off next month need to stop giving myself a hard time as its only a couple of hundred pound......might be the wrong attitude to have :o

    Can you see I'm trying to justify it to myself xx

    You don't need to justify it. You work very, very hard for your money and you are mindful and have a plan. It is fine. Enjoy :)

    That's amazing abba, well done!

    You deserve those tickets, don't feel bad about it.

    Afternoon :hello:

    Tuesday is one of my busiest days now that I'm fully booked......every hour from 7am til 6pm is account for :eek:

    This morning we dropped off Kk at school then me and two mindees caught the bus £4.20 :mad: to go into town. We went to the bank to pay in four old pound coins I found then we went to semi chem of juice for me 78p :D then we popped into the local art gallery and I took in a print I got for hubby's Xmas as I want it framed........this will cost me £46 but it'll be worth it :D don't need to pay this til next week :D need to remember to pick it up :rotfl:

    We then went to the toddler group £2 where the girls played nicely it was quite busy and time passed really quickly :T then it was off to farmfoods for milk, butter, chips, juice for me and a couple of microwave meals for my lunch spent £7.80 in there :T so not bad then we caught the bus home for lunch

    Fed the girls their lunch then we made our way up to nursery dropping off a bag of clothes for the donation box on the way. Dropped one mindee off then it was off to the other nursery to pick my afternoon mindee up and drop the one I had this morning.........keeping up I'm so glad I am :rotfl:

    Nipped into the school so I could apply gel on kks face as he has a burn on his cheek due to an accident at the weekend but he's taking it in his stride bless him xx he's insisting he goes to school :A

    Now we are putting our feet up with a well deserved drink and snack before we do the school run and the nursery run :eek:

    I'm bushed :rotfl: but I've sent £14 towards the Halifax as you can see I've put the tickets in the total as I want a true. Zero balance on this card which will happen at the end of the month then I can pick my next target :D
