    Got a avon to drop off tonight before taking kids swimming so will get that done before I get them snacks and drinks for the walk up saves me dipping into bank account xx

    Got weighed today lost the pound I put on last week :j treated myself to a eyebrow wax and tint as they desperately needed done £14 then a trip to tesco for some bits spent £10 something in there on a ready meal sandwich for baby who is still snoring his head off :rotfl: magazines a dummy for baby seeing as he chucked his away on our walk into town :mad: and some cereal bars for dd

    Payday for me this afternoon :j so going to @ldi tonight once the hubby gets back from work plus my friend still owes me £16 for her avon plus I still have £18.50 avon order still here to be delivered this week xx

    Made £1.40 on surveys today :T not bad I guess still not quite halfway for a payout tho :(

    Credit card took a beating at the weekend as booked a family holiday to turkey for 7 of us including MIL and her partner so all in all £1900 got put on the card but £700 is MILs so when she pays me fir towards the holiday I'll just put it directly onto the card :o and get this paid off ASAP as it was through teletext they needed it paid straightaway but I don't think £1200 for a family of 5 for 10 days is bad (trying to justify it now aren't i???)

    So need to start thinking of the kids passports now as they will all need one so need to find out how much their passports are going to cost us xx

    Need to go as sleeping beauty is just wakening up xx

  • Ooh when is the holiday!? I'm desperate for one I'm already missing the hot sun! Passports are expensive -well I think so anyway ;) - so we've not got round to renewing mine or getting the kids some yet. Never mind the holiday as well :rotfl: xx
