    Morning :hello:

    Bit the bullet got a 0% money transfer offer through my barclaycard so I've requested £3750 from my card which is winging its way :j once it's here hubby will pay off the loan saving us £469 in interest :j and I aim to have this card cleared by end November ;) so it's on

    Did the usual round down of the Halifax sent £5.91 towards it so it's going down hoping to get this cleared by end of next week :D we shall see they I'll tackle the very account after that.

    Right off to set up playgroup xx

    Been a spendy weekend but the concrete base is in :T a step closer to getting the puppy :cool:

    Got the extractor fan installed on Saturday in the bathroom what a difference :j cost £100 which was a bargain it pays to know some people in the trades.......he's coming back to centre my light in the kitchen and to put a light in the new shed next Saturday plus my neighbour wants a hold of him and my gran needs work done so he'll be busy :rotfl: .......this means I can strip the bathroom and get it re wallpapered as we had mouldy growing on then top due to lack of ventatliation

    The money transfer from barclaycard has came through to my bank so I'll get hubby to clear the loan today what a difference this will make to the end of the month where money gets silly tight because the loan and the mortgage would both come out on the 28th :eek: days before hubby got paid but it's done now and hopefully I'll be able to tackle it after I've cleared the Halifax and very

    Had a great avon run.........collected £1018 in orders :eek::eek::eek::eek: omg that's a fab amount and gained another new customer :T we will make £234 in commission :D it gets delivered to me on Wednesday

    Sent £6.56 towards the Halifax :D it's going down

    Plans for today is to set up playgroup come home have lunch and then walk to Asda to get Xander his school trousers means my little mindee gets his nap and we get some exercise :T

    Right off to wake my boys up so we can get ready for playgroup.......sky doesn't look very promising hope it stays dry xx

    Enjoy the cinema! I love the kids cinema showings....normally hit the Tesco/Morrisons 3 for £1 sweets and a pack of 3 vimto/milkshakes....sorted! :D Not to mention I'm normally more excited about the movies than the kids. :rotfl:

    You're so prepared - I still have a list of stuff to get for the kids (having to replace 2 PE kits completely as the kids are growing like weeds!) plus sort out youngest's birthday on the 17th, including a party at home. Then holiday a week later......:eek: trying not to panic!
    Changing my Family's Future!! - Starting again!!!!
    Current Progress -

    Savings Goal = £1000 EF - £0/£1000 = 0%
