    How frustrating about the council :mad:

    Yeah I know still waiting back from the lawyer to see what her advice I sent xx

    I've got new look vouchers and love to shop vouchers yet I can't see anything I would like to buy yet I'm itching to spend it........does that make sense???

    Going to nip into my grans after I've done the nursery drop offs and spend a hour with her before I need to get the after schoolers today will be good for a wee catch up

    Speaking of grans I think I've got a buyer coming round for her brand new phone she bought but then didn't like as she couldn't read the letters.........the amount of timewasters I have had for this is crazy hopefully this person will turn up when they say they are :)

    Sent £4.50 I think towards the barclaycard so it's still coming down.

    Need to pay £50 on Friday to xanders Alton towers trip with the school but money is already in the savings for this so at least I am prepared :T also need to remember to pay my national insurance at the end of the month but again money is in the savings don't want to pay it in case Sod's law something crops up and I start panicking about it :rotfl:

    Right off to do the nursery run xx

    I like to spend vouchers quickly too in case the shop starts having issues. Weren't New Look looking a bit iffy? I'd be trying to offload them if possible.

    Morning Abba hope you're all okay :)

    I spent my L2S vouchers on food in Iceland and will probably do that with any I have/anymore I get

    Afternoon :hello:

    Nothing much to report today it's freezing heating is on but I'm also getting a wash dried so win win

    Sent £10.70 towards the barclaycard need to watch the pennies now as my mortgage and loan is due 28th but hubby doesn't get paid til the last working day of the month so need to watch pennies plus it won't let me send under £1 payments :eek:

    Working 11am (mindee taking his afternoon nap) til 6.30pm tonight then I have avon books to collect and put out tonight order goes away next Friday

    Been accepted for doing more training for my childminding business :T been trying to get in for 2 years now as it'll give me the chance to work alongside social services in addition to me working alongside my local school and the council so it means my childminding business's reputation is gaining momentum and it seems reaching those who are higher up.......about time as I work my butt off :T training begins end of next month on a Thursday night so need to shift avon collection to a Friday night instead of a Thursday night as it's two months training xx

    Right off to tidy up the kitchen xx
