You have been a real busy bee
:rotfl: Beanie, working holiday. Mum is off this week to help with the living room, as its huge. The only rooms left then are the hallway and Mum's room which can be done next week and the following. I think the kitchen and bathroom can wait a month or so because they have been newly painted cream, although we did buy some reduced paint for those rooms. The new house is finally becoming more like a home instead of somewhere with bare walls :T0 -
All sounding good me thinks.

Love Buffy xxAww bless you Buffy. I can't really put my finger on whats changed but I have certainly changed my attitude to life. I have a more positive outlook and if things don't happen or problems arise I/we deal with them and then move on. I don't dwel on things like I used to and I certainly don't wish my life away anymore. I am also super happy to have moved house. It was either we moved as a family or I moved out until they moved, we had to move anyway due to serious problems with the house. Our neighbours were the real problem, I generally used sleeping tablets every other night and they made my life a living hell. So a mixture of things really, however I will feel even better if I can get my 'fun' job full time
So todays spends are 79p on a packet of biscuits. I really fancy a cup of tea with some biscuits so while walking the dog I stopped at the local shop :rotfl:0 -
NSD yesterday but I did spend a bit today. £14.43 at lush on some toiletries and £2 in primark on a new purse. I did also find a new bag for £4 and I am glad I waited as this one is lovely. It does need some alterations but nothing I can't do with a needle and thead. So thats £20.43 spent today, not bad at all I don't think.
Bedroom is nearly done, I only have to put up some shelfs and my pictures which will be done this weekend I think. We have started on the living room but its taking a lot more work than we first thought. Fingers crossed it will be done before the weekend0 -

Before going back to work...
Decorating, done still completing the living room but nearly there.
Shopping, done didn't spend lots and stuck to my little list.
Carpet, done fitter took about 40min so room is slowly being put back together.
Huge walk, semi done 4miles not long enough for me as a normal walk is 3 miles+ :rotfl: I think I will go for long one on Sunday.
Dinner with Mum, done yesterday although I may sneek in a classic birthday meal near her birthday, budget permiting.
Baking day, done today, not traditional cakes but my fudge balls lil brother wants cakes though :cool:
Today I have spent £2.50 on some duck pancakes from Iceland. They are scrummy but a bit expensive really but I fancied them. Also while baking and such I decided I have far too much food in my cupboards/freezer. I have took an innventory and I am now planning on not grocery shopping for at least a month if not longer. The only things I will need are fresh items like f&v and yogurts etc.
I shall be wtachuing my bank accounts and hopefully I can send some more pennies to my savings before payday
Have a great end of the week all :T0 -
I don't know about their duck pancakes PAP but the duck pancake rolls are amazingly yummy!No longer using this account for new posts from 20130
