    Well done on your achievements in the past year :) It's always worth keeping a record so you can look back and see how far you've come.

    Glad you and DH are friends again. You're right to not stand for any nonsense from him.

    Afternoon :hello:

    It's a funny kinda Friday i have no kids til 3pm and I'll finish at 5pm so a easy day today :T

    Still had to set up playgroup tho 21 kids attended so whilst I had no kids I set about organising our annual trip to a local farm park and have managed to fill out a funding form as well just waiting on confirmation from the coach company how much it'll cost to rent it for the day then I can submit my application :D

    Sent £93 over to the holiday account think I have £149 in there so far :j not bad for a week

    Need to sort the avon into tonight's deliveries and put the books in the bags but I'm just been doing some surveys and chilling out before I start work a short woke up feeling sick but the feeling has past thank goodness

    Suppose I better go sort the avon out xx

    Afternoon :hello:

    How is everyone???

    I'm having a wee rest did a extra shift so started early today........took the girls to the local softplay £7.40 on the bus £4.20 and lunch £9.50 bit of a spendy day but the girls deserved it as looking after the new mindee I have temporarily has put a stopper on the trip to toddlers on a Tuesday.........girls enjoyed it they fell asleep on the bus home bless them

    Dropped the grill off at nursery came home and fixed my eyebrows as they desperately needed done :rotfl: so I look a bit human again :D

    Have to pick the afterschoolers at 3pm :eek: will finish at 6pm grab my dinner then I'm off on another childminding course from 7pm til 9pm this week so far has been pretty full on I'm feeling absolutely shattered

    I have done a comparison for travel insurance prices aren't that bad tbh need to get that paid for the weekend and it'll be another item off my tbh xx

    I have £858.46 in the holiday account :T and £267.61 on my revolut card so we are past the £1000 mark for spending money :j told hubby this month will be strict with the exception of going to see the new avengers movie this weekend as I need to also put money by for the holiday clothes shopping that we are doing next month.

    If there is anything left over I'm thinking of creating my laptop before we leave so that when we get back I'll be cracking on with the loan ;)

    Right need to go xx
