I agree, you'll have the credit card cleared and probably a pot of savings or Christmas fund. 

Great news about the car, glad he got sorted. 
Have a lovely evening x

Shes doing better @monz she had her friend round yesterday which is a huge step for her but her friend was her for 7 hours and there was plenty of chat and laughing was lovely to hear.

@beanielou at the moment we have to limit what the kids can play with such as water, sand etc due to the virus so i won't build it up until we can play with those things again, wouldn't be fair on the kids to set it up just now.

My garden lights look lovely I need to get a picture of them at night just need to do a little patch of the slabs and deweed that section in time for Saturday.

We are off out for a walk today going to brave the shops as need to get birthday cards for mum in law as it's also her birthday on Friday, need bulbs which homebargains seems to have stopped selling so will get them at toolstations and I've to pick up abbie's trainers that she ordered but shes at boyfriends so can't get them. will get a sandwich whilst we are out and a wee drink for the boys xx

Also plan on getting the ironing pile all away tonight as well so productive day

right off to get ready fingers crossed it doesn't rain xx

Morning .....I have a day off yet I have loads to do.

Need to nip to Matalan after MIL picks KK up as she always has his on a Wednesday.  The puppy and Xander are away to my grans as thats his day with his gran.  Gives me peace during the day.

Need to get Abbie's scrapbook sorted after finally finding my box of their baby photos.  I actually stored them at my grans but for some reason I thought they were up the loft cue a big panic thinking I had lost or destroyed their pictures i was nearly crying thank god hubby suggested we go to my grans, we also found her old pictures whilst we were having a rummage so win win.

so now I have the pictures I'll get the book done today after lunch.

Then its operation tidy house so I need to just keep on top of it til Saturday night for the party.

Got my list of demands for snacks and sweeties for the party, plus alcohol requests plus Abbie wants  her dads lasagna  for her birthday so also need to get the stuff in for that, think we only need a jar of tomato based sauce and the white sauce as we have everything else in I think plus something for veggie MIL as well.

no luck on getting the G9 bulbs will get hubby to order them from amazon as toolstation were sold out.  need to remember and ask him.

paid £8.94 towards my Halifax card so it's on to get this card cleared by the end of the month.

Morning

Mindee having breakfast so I've sorted out my banking looking not bad at the moment.

Abbie's birthday weekend was a success, she was spoiled beyond disbelief and it it showed her how loved she is so I'm hoping she remembers that when shes having a down day.  Also she's experienced her first hangover so mission complete.

Sent £322.78 towards my halifax credit card which means I have £173.98 til I clear it.  Hoping to get this paid off by the end of the month.  Would have been less but I spent £119 at costco  so that's been cleared off my card.

However hubby left for work this morning and was back home within 15 minutes, at rock was out in the middle of the country road and he's hit it when he went round the corner so might need to put two new tyres on my card.  No biggie that's what it is there for so hopefully won't cost too much.

So my house is nearly back to normal, thank goodness.

What a pain about hubby hitting a rock, it could've been worse than just new tyres though, thank goodness he's not hurt. Glad Abbie enjoyed her birthday.

Not long until your holibobs now ✈😎

Afternoon

Mindee eating his lunch so have done my daily round down to the halifax card.

The tyres are now showing on the total which was £279.78 not sure I'll get this cleared before I go on holiday.  Sent £7.32 towards the Halifax today so It's going down I have £142.04 of the original total still to clear then I think I can live with the tyre total being on the card prior to going on holiday........... maybe hehe.  If hubby gives me any money this week I'll just chuck it towards the credit card. Poor hubby has got whiplash from the small accident but he's still going to work poor thing is in agony but refuses to go to hospital says there is no point as they'll tell him to take time off.

Have message all my avon customers as my order goes away tomorrow night so far I have £789 in orders hoping for another cheeky couple of orders to tip me into the £800 bracket then I'll make £200 commission which is not to be sniffed at.  Actually complimenting sending it straight over to the credit card we shall see as seriously want to say i've got no debt except my car finance and hubby's credit card before we go on holiday.

I've sorted out the list for the deliveries for the food larder for tomorrow and sent it over, also called all the drivers to check their availability and sorted out the prescription deliveries.  They have decided that from the 7th August that will be the last day we do the prescription collections and deliveries as well as the food deliveries as we are opening a food larder within the community centre so this will be just in time for my holiday starting so I don't need to stress who's mucking up my spreadsheets lol 

Got a new customer request for the Avon so me and the mindee will be taking the dog for a walk to drop it off and she will text me tomorrow with her order if she has one, fingers crossed.

my wee gran is dog sitting for us when we are on holiday so shes asked if she can her overnight a few nights a week to get her used to being away from us no doubt this will continue when we get back as my gran loves the company from Peggy so I think she's going over tonight xx

right off to get ready for our wee walk to deliver this avon book xx

You are a whirlwind as ever

Morning

wee one having brekie so I'm on doing my finances

Hubby sent money over so I sent £100.01 towards the Halifax so I have only £42.03 to clear off that card then all that's left is the tyres.  I'm determined to get these paid off before we go on holiday.

I've went pas the £800 mark in orders whether they are all in stock is a different matter.  Still waiting on a couple of people to get back to me.  Think I'll just chuck this commission towards the tyres after I've paid the boys their wages.  I owe KK £3.50 and Xand £29.50 as KK hasn't been helping out with the avon lately so he doesn't get paid.  Go to teach them young.

Thank goodness it's Friday, lazy weekend is planned.  will get my lists organised for the bag packing thats happening next weekend and get the stuff i need throughout the week.

Order my airwick decospheres for when we go away, ebay wanted £7 for one  found them on the savers website which i didn't know existed thank goodness for google and they were only £2 each.  I always get these before we go on holiday as it makes my house smell amazing when we get back from holiday.  They'll be here next week 

Spent £85 in primark on Wednesday as Xander needed new shorts and well you know how it goes.......ended up buying loads but Xander is set just need to get hubby to dig out his holiday clothes this weekend to see what we need to buy hopefully not too much as the villa has a washing machine and they all tend to buy clothes when we are out there so I'm not going crazy this year.

right off to look for school trousers for the oldest boy not many shops would do age 16-17 even tho hes not even 14 yet !!!!!!
