    Morning :hello:

    I reckon bank accounts should lock at the weekend :rotfl: so expensive

    We went out for dinner with the family to celebrate hubby's birthday which was expensive enough at £80 then we passed a local paint shop where we bought all our paint when we bought our house and spent £27.99 on a huge pot of paint for abbies main walls in her room a space she's redecorating :eek: seems to be helping with her anxiety :T

    Yesterday was a cleaning day, my bedroom was gutted dusted and hoovered it's amazing how much rubbish you can store in a room now it's super sparkly :T and did two tip runs as well for hubby who is gutting out his garage finally :T

    The electrician came and finished installing my fan in the bathroom, put a light in my shed and put a outdoor socket for the back garden so that cost me £45 yesterday so not too bad I guess for an electrician need to remember I took this out the avon money :D

    Had to nip to lidl for some food spent £29 in there and £20 on petrol so a very expensive weekend

    It's the September break here only have one mindees who's eating his breakfast so done my daily round down and sent £6.08 towards the barclaycard :T

    Today's plans are to take the kids to a local ceramic painting thing today should be under £20 will take our own juice and snacks :T here's hoping the weather is kind to us :T

    A few jobs today need done need to put the mattress topper back on the bed and message all the avon customers who are wanting there avon today :T as well as clean the surface of doom :rotfl: in the kitchen

    Managed to cash out on a survery site for £25 :T over the weekend so that'll get chucked towards the barclaycard the other two sites I cash out at the end of the months so will see if I can catch up on any surveys after wee one has went for a nap

    Right off to get my breakfast xx

    afternoon :hello:

    mindee sleeping so done my daily round down

    Sent £4.44 towards the barclaycard roll on Friday when the college pay me its not much but it'll put a small dent in the barclaycard

    Managed to get two observations out the way this morning only two more to go and that's one folder completely up to date :j

    Went to toddlers this morning £3 via bus £3.50 kids all had fun no grumpy faces at all this week :j

    after toddlers bought the kids a cheeky greggs £2.50 I came home and had soup trying to be good Monz :D even skipped my bread to dunk it in :rotfl:

    did the nursery runs and came home puppy didn't make a mess at all :j

    have started my xmas shopping :o well for Abbie anyway, bought her two tickets to the green day / fall boy concert thats happening in June shes so chuffed and so she should be they were £142 :eek: its on my credit card but I'm hoping Ill clear it next week as hubby giving me whatever he gets from his previous job as hes still due a weeks wage so hoping it will clear this :j and I've bought her the harry potter gryfindor hi top trainers they were £80 reduced to £55 so snapped them up but omg i'm skint roll on friday when hubby gets paid and i get paid from the college.

    need to go pick up the trainers from the collection point so will do that after I've picked up my after schoolers hopefully the rain will stay off for us :cool:

    hubby taking abbie to B&Q tonight to get frog tape so she can make her funky triangle feature wall.........hes a good egg :D

    on other news abbie has started applying for apprenticeships, she had a telephone interview with one today and she said it went well now its up to the individual branch if they like the look of her CV and she'll get a face to face interview so fingers crossed for my baby girl as she really needs something to perk her up as college ain't cutting it as shes done everything they're doing so far so shes bored which is dangerous for her tbh

    right off to see if i can fit in another observation before wee one wakes up and i do the school run

    Well at least that’s Abbie’s Christmas done.
    Hope she gets an apprenticeship soon.
