Afternoon wee one having a nap so jumped on here

Manic day today, woke up feeling shattered Kk had me up again with his choking cough at 4am this morning, bounced from one wall to another before I got to his room :eek: :rotfl: so need to take him to chemist as his hay fever is really bad this year so hopefully they can give him something

Started work a total 7.15am organised some avon deliveries that were to be delivered this morning the it was off to playgroup £2 to set up then it was down to the school at 9.30am as my wee mindee I sent doing her school transition day today for a hour then it was back up to playgroup did the snacks then started organ in game my avon order forms to go in the books later on tonight as I have deliveries tonight :eek:

Went to bakers bought lunch £3.40 then it was home for lunch then the nursery run, dropped another book off at the local shops for someone then walked the long way home from the shops so the wee one fell asleep in the buggy

Juggled money about I have £790.79 in my preloaded card and I have £1010 in my savings so my aim is to save £2000 for spending money :eek: but we have a few day trips planned whilst in turkey which include :

Trip to Greece £180
Boat ride: £90
Hunting for turtles (kks obsessed with turtles) £120
Buggy safari £80

So a few pricy days planned out but it's my last holiday with Abbie I reckon so going big :T

Plus need money for air con and safe whilst in the hotel but I need to get English money for that will check on the fb how much exactly we are needing for that

So once I have the £2000 in total I'm concentrating on money for holiday clothes /trainers and after the 15th June I intend to clear the laptop off my Halifax card so I can come back and tackle the loan for the windows :T

Avon deliveries are getting done tonight but I'm two kids down :eek: Xander is at Alton towers with the school and won't be back til 10pm and Abbie is away to the boyfriends this weekend so I'll be extra tired :rotfl: but no deliveries no extra pennies :cool:

Right must go iPad about to die xx

Hi Abba. Have been lurking on your diary for a long time but don't think I've ever commented but my DD is the same with the coughing when her hayfever is bad. Doctors have given her an inhaler and we give her Piriton, which help but the best thing we have found to help was buying her an humidifier for her bedroom. Not sure if you have one already but thought I'd mention it the one we got was around £15 I think and comes with a remote and can be used as a night light too.

Your holiday sounds fabulous!

Morning :hello:

Was super busy yesterday but had a productive day was working 7.15am til 6pm yesterday

Set up playgroup £2 24 kids attended but it was quite quiet considering how many kids were there

Did the usual running about in the afternoon with lunch and nursery runs

Whilst wee mindee was sleeping I managed to finalise my accounts and submit my earning to hmrc then I renewed my tax credits straight after :T so that's another big job done :T

Also managed to sort out some old paperwork which was under my bed so I have a big pile to shred and I've cleared a space under my bed :T

Managed to get Xander his holiday trainers got a pair of Nike air reduced from £95 :eek: to £60 yes I know expensive but he's in gents sizes so this is actually a good price as he can only wear Nike air as he splits trainers in the middle don't ask it's the way he walks but these types of trainers don't do that

Also managed to get hubby two flip flops for holiday superdry on which on their website were £20 each I managed to get both pairs for £20 :T so a couple of bargains

Avon a pain right now got loads of returns which affect my commission but this is avons fault as they sent me loads of stuff I didn't order but charged me for I told which affected my commission. Got three deliveries tonight got enough to pay my invoice but £51 of that is in my bank so I'll wait til I get the cash as I like to pay at the post office

Need to go to local shop and get a card put money in it as it's my nephews birthday this week, my gran is dropping it off tomorrow so need to get it today mustn't forget xx

No money news as pennies getting tight due to it being a 5 week month plus mortgage due out on 28th so need to be careful xx

I keep yawning today must be lack of sugar

Hubby lost another pound on Saturday..........that 8lbs :j I stayed the same so trying even harder this week got 5 weeks and 5 days to lose 6lb so here's hoping it can be done :rotfl:

Sold a pile of abbies old clothes on fb :T got £20 for them :T gave it to hubby for petrol money as he's complaining he's skint bless him he really hates 5 week months :rotfl:

Also managed to get two washloads out on the line today and did a pile of ironing which needs put away later on

Got 4 avon deliveries tonight will just walk the route today gets everyone out for a wee walk

Hubby selling his laptop I bought him need to get pictures and get it on fb as he never uses it and tbh he doesn't like it blooming picky men

Aiming to sort out our visa £12 x 5 = £60 plus travel insurance is about £30 thankfully I'm getting paid on Friday from my temporary mindees mum and it's £90 I'm due to get paid so this will cover that :T so even tho this weekend will be tight I'll manage to sort some more things out for this holiday

Need to message abbies friends mum with my bank details and the link for the visa so I know that that's done and dusted don't want any last minute panics before we go........never took someone else's kid away with us before she's 17 not a kid but you know what I mean :rotfl:

Sooooooooo tired this healthy eating malarkey is tiring :rotfl:

afternoon :hello:

Wee one sleeping outside since it's dry here, he's been a wee grump been a while since I had a greeter as my gran calls it lol xx

Started work at 9am so managed to get a shower and had a some cuddles with Kk which I don't get to do much so grabbed the opportunity whilst I can and it was lovely, he asked to ride his bike to school......oh yeah my wee monkey can ride his bike without stabilisers he started doing it on Sunday ..........so proud of him

Picked my two mindees up from the school, then got back to the house in time for mindee number three, popped on the bus £4.20 then had to nip to homebargains for coffee, shampoo, bin bags, multi bag of crisps and juice for me and mindees spent £10.20 then it was off to playgroup £3 so not too bad I guess

Got home took girls to nursery and now I'm sitting on my step whilst the wee one have a nap.

I have two avon customers to deliver tonight and I should have enough to pay my avon invoice tomorrow :T then the rest is ours :T thank goodness as we are skint til next Friday :rotfl: but I'll split it down the middle and I'll put half towards the holiday........I've just told the family it's a quiet weekend as money is tight as it's getting closer to holiday :T

Finish at 6pm tonight hoping for a quiet one as boys are away to their grans and Abbie is a true her boyfriends but she'll be back tonight xx

Quiet weekend this weekend :T as skinto and tbh I need a quiet one as I'm shattered

Hubby finally plans on completing the cupboard in my hallway......will believe it when I see it as he proper peed me off yesterday........garage business rearing its ugly head he needs to get over it......it failed end of story that should be the end of it but he occasionally flings himself a pity party and tbh I've had enough of it as he's not the one who paid it all off :mad: he has apologised tho as it came to a stare down yesterday......I won :T:T:T:T

I have messaged all my avon customers advising them I'm collecting books need to remember I'm collecting them next Thursday and not next Friday as I'm away to manachester next week :T
