    Oh dear - guess I shouldnt expect it any time soon.
    I got the dvds from lovefilm so will watch one with DH tonight :) The amazon voucher can take up to 30 days so will wait it out for that....

    Got my food delivered today :) £55.76 :j

    Checked a CC which I thought was at £0 but had £17 owed to me so have asked for them to send me it as a cheque and they will also let me know of any 0% deals coming up as my Abbey cc is soon to end its 0%......


    DH has had a few freebies recently - He got given some brand new nike football boots which will fit dd2 which is great as she has just decided she wants to play football aswell so less things to buy her :)
    Also he got given a TV stand - its not great but I really want to re paint it and im sure it will look nice. Its fine for now and much better then our old one as that showed all the wires etc behind it so now they are hidden :D

    Off for a little catch up on some diaries while all is calm in mummys house :)

  • It might come quite quickly, I might just have selected it at the wrong time, you know just after their last payment run?!

    Not in a rush for it anyway will only spend it lol. Have so many things i need/want and are being good to set myself that I have to earn money before I can buy any of it.........I need some dribble bibs for DS, A new sling, some new boosters for the nappies and then I want to save some money towards a tent - but not expecting to do that for a while yet..........

    DHs mum has given him some money for his trip away :) Which means the budget is now do able again!! She wants him to have a lovely time without the worry so sent the money over for him :A

    Will need to order some jumpers and pe tops for the new school year. Also need to pay first instalment for school trips next year X2. DDs pre school are going over for a picnic at the big school on thursday so i have booked her in for the lunch club (any chance to go to the big school is worth it to help her settle) So also need to remember to pay for that tomorrow....its never ending :)

    Glad its in there now :) mine still isnt but I expect it to be a few more days yet then.......... Need it to get me off the starting point for my £5 a dy... Nobody is interested in the thing ive got for sale. Will give them a little longer on the baby group and then ill list on ebay at weekend if still no offers? I also still need to list loads of girls newborn and 0-3 clothes.

    Need to go to the shops to day - just need to get a few bits so shouldnt spend to much but also need to fill the car which will cost a bit - but I do have 5p off voucher so will go to mrTs for it.

    Swimming for the big girls later :) so have a nice easy tea of breaded chicken, croquettes and beans.

    Hello one-day :) I havent listed the baby clothes yet as hadnt got round to taking some pics - DH has the camera now so might not get a chance for a bit now??

    Had a busy day in town yesterday :) I got the girls some new summer shoes from the clarks sale - got 3 pairs for £26!!! Nice and cheap.
    Got a present for dds party at the weekend - manages to get something reduced from £19.99 to £7.99 and had a £5 voucher so a bargain again :)

    Had to fill the car though and was £89 :eek::eek: Hope it will last most if not all the mth.................

    Today has been a NSD :) Went to the park earlier and then my dad came round with fish and chips :)

    DH is away now for the grand prex. Hope he is having a good time and that he doesnt spend all his pennies :p

    Still have to pay the school etc.

    Hello Pinky :) I know petrol costs a fortune!! Just hope I can make it last the mth and then it wont be to bad :) If not ill only need a little at the end of mth to see me by. I still havent listed on ebay - DH has taken the camera and ive tried with my new phone but now have no idea how to get them on the comp :o

    Talking about my new phone ive managed to make it so i cant go on the internet and have no idea now how to fix it so i can again......Im useless with new things.

    So spending wise - on friday I soent £8 on some sweets lemonaid and a bottle of wine :D Only aloud one a night as feeding but felt like a nice treat.
    Saturday we went to my mums and had tea there - NSD
    Today should also be a NSD - DD2 has a party and DD1 wants to watch the Grand Prix and see if she can spot Daddy :)

    Dinner will just be Jacket pots with beans and cheese as no daddy so no point in doing a roast.

    Will try and fix the phone and see if i can pop the photos on so I can list baby bits on a 7 day one so they finish next week.......
