abba1772

Did the food shopping yesterday spent £270 but everything is bulging and that was 6 weeks since our last shop so I'm chuffed with that

but I have a dilemma, I have that much food I don't know what to have for my lunch.........only me lol xx

Holiday fund increased by £2 woo hoo so we are at £1032 

nothing exciting today just plodding around the house, I never know what to do with myself on a quiet day, I always think i need to be doing something with my time x

What a busy day.

spent all day at the community centre sorting out the admin and phone calls for the food larder, we have 105 parcels being delivered tomorrow, that's a lot but glad to be helping out.

Sent £10 towards the holiday fund today take it to £1042

College is supposed to be paying me tomorrow we shall see, if they do this money will go towards the table and chair garden set we bought as our other one disintegrated last year.  Still waiting for it to be delivered was supposed to be tomorrow but got a email saying it's been delayed til the 19th, good job I have patience.

Came home after the food larder and cleaned the living room and the kitchen not we've had dinner and it's like i never touched the kitchen........grrrrrrr 

working tomorrow then I'm doing deliveries for the food larder straight after to try and lighten the load for the guys doing deliveries, some help is better than no help, then tomorrow night I'm putting my avon books out, first time in nearly 3 months xx

You really are busy at the minute and doing something amazing helping the community with food deliveries. 105 is such a lot. I wonder what would happen to these if there weren't people like you and the team you are working with to help them. 

I have to say that the fake tan spray I got from Avon is amazing. It has just added some colour to my legs rather than the white colour they usually are. I will definitely be getting that one again. It is so easy to use as well. 

Hoping the college money is in today and that your new furniture arrives. x

Hi Niknak

I actually dread to think what would happen to these households if the food larder wasn't available.

I've actually ordered the fake tan spray for myself as my legs are always pale and I've seen great reviews for this spray.

College paid me so I sent the money over to the credit card so that's it clear again just waiting on the furniture getting delivered in 2 weeks no doubt it'll rain for like a week after we've assembled it hehe

I've managed to organise my avon customer list so it's all printed out and the books are stacked and ready to go tonight so I'm organised for that after dinner.  gloves are at the ready 

Just finished lunch so done the banking and sent another £51 towards the holiday fund, brings it to £1093 so I'm very pleased with that.

After I finish work at 3 I'm off to the community centre to help with any deliveries then I'll tackle the ironing pile so a productive Friday at least xx

Yes, it is not worth thinking about how these poor families will cope with it all if they didn't have help. I'm so glad people can help now x

I don't know how you do it all!

I'm here I'm here I've not been slacking I promise.

Sunday I gutted out my room was ruthless and put a few bits on FB marketplace to get rid of stuff that we've had since we moved and never used.  Made £70 which was great as hubby bought second hand alloys for abbie's birthday for her car for £50 so that covered that so quite please.  Bedroom all sparkly and hubby bought a cheap wardrobe for the garage for £10 so all his bike gear is finally out my bedroom woo hoo

Monday was working and getting all the paperwork sorted for the food larder as that when phone calls get done and info passed back to me.

Tuesday was working, MIL told us FIL wouldn't be coming on holiday with us even if it were to get rescheduled hubby asked me if we wanted to offer Abbie it, told him i had to think about it as it broke my heart sending her home two days into our last holiday. 

Wednesday was running about like a headless chicken dropped off hubbys returns for amazon, went to asda to pick up an arts and crafts donation for the food larder that I managed to secure, nipped to B&Q as needed a new set of drawers for the boys rooms typical they didn't have them in, then it was off to tesco to get abbie's picture taken for her passport then off to dunelm for new bedding for my bed as went to change my sheets and realised I didn't have any as i usually just wash and get the bedding dried on the same day but it was raining so spent £42 on new bedding got some great bargains.  

Thursday helped out t the food larder, it was my last day up there as as of next week I'll be working the Thursday as well but will still do the admin work from the house for them.  was very productive.

Today I'm working, meant to be meeting someone for a pile of jewellery i had but they haven't responded so might be a timewaster they have til 3pm to get back to me.  Also sold a pair of Abbie's trainers i get half the money so she's making £10 today, need to go through kk's trainers and he's taken a stretch too.  any money I'm making from this point is going in my savings tin as I had been daving £2 coins but with everything thats happened it's not been happening.

Have the first avon book collection tonight so need to text everyone to say we will be collect

Holiday fund is sitting at £1384.29, £1000 has been transferred into lira on my revolut card the rest remains in my saving account.
