    Today was a spendy day getting the last of the Xmas presents Asda are doing 3for £20 on new CDs and DVDs so bought 3 DVDs and 3 DVDs only cost me £40 :T instead of £64 and got my nephew a pair of jeans and a top for £9 :cool: then popped into the range and spent £12.97 on 2 boxes of Lindt chocolates for the older kids and a pencil sketch set for my daughters Xmas

    Got the kids to clear out their console games took them to trade them in just got under £20 so we've used the money to get their dad a game he's wanting all the shops were wanting between £44 to £50 :eek: but by buying it pre owned and using the trade in it only cost me £20.41 so I'm chuffed with that xx

    Went to homebargains and got toilet paper £1.99 kitchen roll 99p sawdust 50p shaving cream for hubby £1.99 and hair removal cream 99p so I'm happy with that

    Nipped into Marks and Sparks for a micro meal spent £3 on a meal for my lunch and £1.25 on a pudding and 75p for reduced sandwich filler which will do for my lunch tomorrow :D

    Need to drop kids off to grans tonight as well as do a massive food shop at Aldi's as I have a £15 off voucher from the daily record if you spend over £75 which will be doable :rotfl: as we seem to be running out of everything xx

    Off to pick my son up from school as he's in the school rehearsals xx

    Afternoon

    How are we all?????

    Been a productive day today, watching my niece ruby roo who my baby k love to bits and they've been playing happily away so much so I wrapped all my daughters presents that are here (gran has two black bags full at her house for all the kids) , cleaned and bleached my bath room.........love the smell of bleach and sorted out my avon orders ready for delivery tonight

    Working from 3pm til 8.30pm tonight but kids normally help out with the avon run so that'll keep them amused tonight lol xx

    Also been a nsd today :j woo hoo love it when that happens, doesn't happen very often lol xx

    College is meant to be paying me tomorrow but we shall see don't have much faith in them paying the childcare payments there always something that goes wrong lol but we will see how much they pay and if we are doing ok for money in our normal bank account then I will transfer it to the mortgage account, would be great if I could hit £2k before the end of the year ;) fingers crossed xx

    Off to do something before collecting the kids from school seeing as I'm on a organising streak lol xx
