Ooooh, I'd not noticed that Km...thank you for pointing it out, I feel less of a bore now:rotfl:

Home from my mum's now, in my pjs absolutely shattered, not sure why! Nice that we've eaten so no cooking - girls just polished off the leftover pizza from last night, so all full up. I can now crash out on the sofa for a few hours...bliss:D

Today wasn't too spendy - I returned the top, got dd the jeans so paid £16 extra, but said we'll go halves so she owes me £19...she bought some jewellery too. I just bought a jumper in Peac0cks sale for £6 and put petrol in the car...£25. It was 5p a litre cheaper there than around here plus I used my 5p off coupon - so spent 10p less per litre than around here:p

Ok..time to go lie down ready for Strictly, X Fac then bed:T

Yesterday wasn't quite an NSD...I ordered a couple of birthday pressies for dd2's friends, she's going to their party in a few weeks - I got nice make up/nail varnish sets in Debenh*ms sale, £6.40 each. I also ordered a perfume for eldest for Xmas, with a £5 off code at Superdr*g.

The hospital rang today asking if dd2 could have her teeth op (booked for dec 8th) tomorrow instead:eek: She wants to go...so we'll be there at 7.30am. So, day off work for me...though it is paid;) They're taking out a baby tooth, attaching some wire to a buried adult tooth that will be attached to the brace she gets fiited in Jan:o She's quite happy - it was her wanting it done.

Dinner tonight is pasta bake, with leftover chicken from last night, bit of bacon and some mushroom, onion and cream - nice:D Better get an early night - with leaving here at 7.10 for the hospital! Hopefully we won't be too late back tomorrow though.

Ebay items looking ok - the hoodie is on £27 I think, some of dd1's Twilight books on £21, few watchers on other bits. Onepoll on about £21...it's slow though right now:o

Anyway, need to think about an essay I should have done weeks ago, arghhhh that course is just hanging over me, I want it gone:p

Oooh hope the op goes OK. Best get it out of the way before xmas - she can eat what she likes then

Your ebay succes puts me to shame. I should really put a few more bits on there. I've got a sparkly party dress that i bought last year and have never worn, still got tags on. Might put that on...

Yes I have sold loads recently - starting to run out of stuff worth selling which is a shame...where will i find any extra pennies from?! I have got a few bits I just need to iron and photograph...must get them done soon. 2 tops are new polo shorts bought for dd2 in the summer sales, intended for Xmas but she now doesn't really like her Sup*rdry tops, so I think they're better off sold. The hoodies have made me money - they were £20 in the summer and one went for £36 and the other is on £27ish right now with about 6 days to go - so I'm glad I sold then:D

Go on - get that dress listed, it won't take long to do it. Just before Xmas is the best time for a sparkly dress:D

Evening...phew, it's Friday at last...thank goodness, I'm shattered this week:o
DD's tooth op went fine - she has stitches where they fiddled dug to the buried tooth to attach a chain that will attach to the brace so that feels a bit funny. It was a long day there...tiring just sitting about;)

I didn't go to T's as usual after work today - but just found a £15 off code that works so have done an order for delivery tomorrow - buying 24toilet rolls for just £7, washing powder etc...my order was £55 with delivery.

DD1 is off to the cinema with her dad tomorrow, dd2 and I having a wander round the shops then he's taking them for dinner. He's finally been paid I think so i should get some money. The CSA have got nothing from him for me - I should wait for them to get it but they don'e, so am going to just taje cash off him. In June and July he was meant to pay them so they could pay me but he didnt bother so I got nothing:o I should have just taken the cash he offered but I wanted to go through them - may as well not bother.

Ordered lots of stocking toiletries from Superdr*g online last night - as I spent £40 I got a lovely looking free Accessor1ze gift set worth £10 - it'll probably go in the gift stash as don't think my girls would use it. Got lots of shampoos, hairsprays, treatments etc, all ones on offer. May as well get Xmas pressies that they'll use.

I have a pile of books here to ebay, as well as few new bits of clothing. Will get that done over the weekend. On Sunday I have a quiet day - girls will be at the ex-laws for lunch so a nice peaceful day:)

Glad the tooth op went OK. At least it's done now. Horrible having things done to your mouth - I had loads of work done when I was younger, only good thing about it was it was free then

Your xmas shopping is really putting me to shame but I am really trying to be good with my money now - it is a lot easier now I'm single again though. Going to make a good start on it tomorrow.

Boo to the CSA and your ex being a bad payer. I have found with the CSA that you have to keep on at them. I set aside time every Monday evening to call them. If they think you're not bothered they put your case to the bottom of the pile.

Enjoy your peaceful weekend

Morning people:beer: (Thats a 'cheers' 'cos it's Saturday morning...lovely)
I'm up and showered, all dressed and make up on - girls still fast asleep:o

Shopping's coming between 10 and 12...so anytime now - hoping it's soon though so we can get to town around 12. DD1 wants to go to Specs@vers - when she had her eye test in August they said she could have glasses, but the optician wasn't worried if she didn't, just one eye might need them. At the time dd didn't want them but now they eye is bothering her so she wants the specs - I rang them last week and they said her eye test still stands, doesnt need a new one, so just to come in and choose specs....this will take a while with her though - she wants 'geek' glasses;)

I've done 3 loads of washing since last night - all on airers now, which I don't like, but hey ho - no other option:o

I need to get a few bits and bobs done this weekend so will post a list, along with next week's meal plan, to keep me on track hopefully:D

Bought another couple of gifts last night - a cd that's on dd2's Xmas list was only £6.49 this week on T*sco...was £8.99 at [EMAIL="Am@zon...so"]Am@zon...so[/EMAIL] ordered that. On Pl@y, I got the girls a funky shower cap each - one a cupcake the other an ice cream cone, and my niece got a mini hand warmer - that's her pressies done. Gifts there had 10% off too:beer: Ordered bro in law a DVD the other night - he's all sorted now...fab.

Hoping we find some trainers for dd2's pressie in town - she wants them and a handbag as her main pressies. DD1 has the camera.

Right off to think about my list with a cuppa - I will be back:p

Ok, here's next week's meal plan:

Tonight - Just me, so scampi and oven chips
Sun - girls eating at ex mil's...so making a chicken+mushroom risotto for myself
Mon - HM meatballs and pepper+tomato sauce (use up some sad looking peppers;))
Tues - Chicken curry
Wed - Jambalaya
Thurs - Jackets+chicken/spag bol from freezer for dd1
Fri - Chicken chow mein+prawn crackers
Sat - at my sister's
Sun - Quick pasta bake possibly

Nothing very exciting...but girls will be happy:D

Time for a quick list of to-dos for the weekend.
I'm about to iron while I wait for the food shopping to arrive....

• iron, photograph and list ebay bits
• general ironing
• dust+hoover house
• strip beds and wash it all
• write up to date list of pressies bought for girls
• tidy house - return stuff to the right room
• contemplate next essay for uni:o
• clean bathroom

That's enough:)
