'Be Happy'...Milly's mission for 2011

Hi Milly
Congratulations on DD1's report, makes you feel all warm inside when they do well and so proud.
Love free money from Quidco.
Love a strong cheese, can't be doing with the rubbery stuff with no taste.
Think how much money you have saved on the coke to buying a single can.
Another cider drinker here, love the pear variety with ice cubes :beer:0 -
Good afternoon..happy weekend:beer:
A quiet one for me - girls have not long gone with their dad...I have no plans to leave the house today;)
So, the last few days have been good money-wise. I had an NSD on Thurs, yesterday I did buy the girls some chocolate - 4 bars each for £2 and donuts. We also had chip shop dinner - but thats a cheap takeaway at £10. I was going to go to the quiz night at school, but I hadnt fed girls by the time I needed to go, was exhausted and tum's been a little ropey in the evenings this week so felt happier at home:D
So, today will be an NSD too:T Tomorrow I'm going to go the Uni library, return my books. I have a fine on them as when I went to renew online on Wed I found I'd renewed the max number of times, they have to go back...grrr:mad: I'm also nipping to the out of town shops...need some moisturiser in Boots, a bag for dd2 for school in River Island or New Look...hers broke this week. There's an Asda there too so will write a list of any bits I need for the week.
DD1 wants her hair cut - so told ex to take her to town tomorrow....haha, he can pay then:T He's been seriously driving me mad - even though I know he now earns more, he still keeps giving me £200 a month...so I'm afraid I went to the CSA 2 weeks ago, have filled the forms in. I only want a fair proportion of his money. What did it for me was hearing from my sis (as he speaks to her and my bro in law) that ex had been out on the town for 2 weekends in a row, both Fri and Sat nights. Well, if he can afford that, he can afford to give me more:mad: He has still not given me his half of all the new uniform I had to buy last summer...makes me cross:o The CSA rang last week to say they will be contacting him...so hopefully they will decide an amount...then we both know thats what he will pay rather than me thinking he should pay more and him saying he cant.
Ok, need to write a to do list for today and tomorrow:)I really need to sort out a new signature!0 -
Hi Pixie,
Hope you're having a nice chilled weekend.My OH is away this weekend - although I obviously love him being here 'tis also good to get a couple of quiet days
Sounds v sensible about going to the CSA. Hope that all works out.

Good, definitely:D I bought 3 - Flowerbomb, Hypnotic Poison and Kenzo Flowers. Never tried Flowerbomb but on La E's recommendation I tried it and it's very nice. The Kenzo and Poison smell just the same as the real ones...can deffo recommend. I often re-apply at lunchtime, but I like to do that with normal full price perfume anyway:p
Go for it - for the price they are a real bargain;)I really need to sort out a new signature!0 -

Hey ladies, I went for the 5 x 3ml for £10 with free P&P. Got 3 for myself and 2 for the OH. He's not as fussed - should've bought myself another two :rotfl:
I got Boss Orange, Emporio Diamonds and Flowerbomb. Not so fussed (not that it's unpleasant) about the Boss Orange one but don't think I know what the real perfume is like either... Still wear it now and again. The size is great for chucking in your handbag and I like the little pouches too.

Afternoon people:D
I've been out this morning - nipped over to the shops...to Next for work trousers (but they're going back, very MSE, dont like the fit:o), got moisturiser in Boots on 3 for 2...so all stocked up. Didnt find a bag for dd for school though, will try in town and take her with me, much easier than numerous phone calls and sending of photos:rotfl: In Asda I bought a sneaky spring top for me, £10 and spent £29 on groceries...so much for just a few items:( Hopeless I am when I get in a big exciting supermarket;)
I went to the uni library on the way back....re-issued a few books and got a few more...now just need to actually read them:)
Girls will be back soon...dd1's had her hair done with him paying...great:rotfl: Hopefully she got him to cough up for the bits in Boots she needed...he wont have the cheek to ask me for the money and she didnt take any!
So, easy dinner tonight, just cooking for me. Will probably do a risotto...as girls are never keen on it as a meal...huh. I have some chicken, pepper and salami...that'll be yum. Evening on the sofa watching Dancing on Ice...sounds good. Oh and the Duran Duran prog...even better, very excited about that:j:j:jI really need to sort out a new signature!0
