    hi yes he does give me some money now its taken into account with my benefits.

    managed to get shopping yesterday and spent £44.73
    im really pleased as i got alot for my money. :D

    woke up with another headache today :mad: took some tablets straight away and it seems to be easing off so hopefully it will be gone soon.

    ds2 has swimming lessons today so all im hoping to spend is money on a cup of tea and that is all today.

    oh i got petrol yesterday too, £20 so a high spend day for me but hopefully i can make up for it in the week as i wont need much. :o

    paid just over the min payment today (£30) on my asda credit card but some of that will be interest so not sure of the new total yet. now i have paid min balances on both my credit cards this month i can carry on overpaying without worrying about money so much because at least they have been paid this month :D

    im going to be in my overdraft tomorrow so not sure how much im going to be able to over pay this week :o

    afternoon diary :D

    nsd here so far :j
    i have mowed the lawn today, the grass was a bit wet but it really needed doing as it was getting to long and i couldnt spot the dog poo easily :cool:

    i have a petrol lawn mower and can hardly ever get the blasted thing started but i managed it today :T glad that job is out the way now and i can keep on top of it now.

    not much to write about on the debt front as im in my overdraft :mad: not by much but i dont want to have to rely on it.
    got sausage casserole in the slow cooker as thats what the boys wanted for dinner so my house smells lovely :D

    just got to hoover, polis and mop floors now and that will be me done for today (until the boys get home anyway!!!)

  • morning diary,

    sausage casserole was yummy last night :D

    going to do homemade pizza and chips for dinner today.
    just checked my online banking and i went £72.43 into my overdraft :mad: luckily im out of it today but it obviously leaves me with less money, the begining of the month is such a pain with dds coming out but now i think i only have a couple until the end of the month so hopefully can get my bank account sorted. i have to pay for ds1 after school club next monday iys usually about £35.00 for the term so not too bad and he really enjoys it so i dont want to have to say he cant go.

    paid £2.00 off of my asda card today but cant access online banking for it for some reason so i will have to wait till my next statement to update the new balance, i was thinking if i start overpaying on my asda credit card i might get a nice little surprise when i receive the next statement :cool:
