    One thing on ebay has already got a few bids and is at about £7 which im happy with as didnt think it would go for that much so fingers crossed it goes for more and the other bits sell.

    Mr T came today with the shopping - Aimed for £85 a week and it came in at £84 so im happy :) Well it didnt as they hadnt taken off all the special offers discounts :( So I had to phone them and they are refunding the £10 worth of offers.

    I received £5 amazon voucher today from nectar. Just want £5 more and I can order the sling I want. Being good and not buying ittill I dont have to pay for it. So £5 more towards the £5 a day challenge - which is at £31.74 so far but with some bits pending :)

    Kids still poorly so havent been out of the house still!!

    Opps it been a little while with no updates from me :o
    Have been selling a few bits but will add totals when ive sent the last off tomorrow and know the totals after postage etc.
    I think we are now free from the poxs and so can leave the house :j:j:j went to a fun day today and it was sooooo good to be out of the house and to see the kids have such a lovely time!!
    Tomorrow ive got to go to town - need to send some parcels and also pay in a cheque - ive had it ages so need to pay it in!
    DH has got some overtime at the weekend and we have already decided the overtime will be put away for christmas as we dont want to have no money come xmas :) Which is great to not have to worry as much over the next few mths. Ive also been paying into park for £200 of vouchers which will help for xmas aswell.
    Opps Ive also got a charge jar which is for the summer hols so will get the girls to count that up and we can change any up tomorrow aswell. Other change will be kept in the car for any trips to country parks and paying for the parking......

    Ive been naughty and brought myself a new sling from paypal money :) Also have brought a few nappies in the bigger size as ive sold some newborn ones (got a couple of £s more for one set then I paid in the first place :) ) Also I got a new changing bag from the Amazon vouchers - it was £40 reduced to £23 so a good price BUT ive not long got a new one :o but I cant fit it over the handles on the double buggy!! :o:o

    Better be off to bed as ds will be awake for a feed any min as he always does :) Just waiting for nappies to finish there rinse cycle so can put them on for a wash over night.

    Havent posted for a while. opps. Been busy as its the holidays :)
    Ive been selling a few more bits - which have funded other bits we needed.
    Have ordered the kid uniform online - had a 10%code and free delivery. Ive found a coat of dd1s which she hardly used so dd2 ccan have that so just need one for dd1. Also need new shoes - before my mum has always said she likes to buy the school shoes but she hasnt said anything recently so will see if she still wants too before buying some :D

    Abbey cc has just run out of 0% and its also linked on my online banking so going to hit that cc (well try to) next.

    Going to get some tickets for a sea life center with tesco vouchers. so will be a nice day out - hope they might be here for next weekend?? But if not will go another weekend.
    Have free tickets for a weekend thing at silverstone so thats another weekend sorted. will bring a picnic to save on cost aswell.

    Have a few more thing to list to sell.

    Right im getting a kebab for dinner as i REALLY fancy one and havent had one for aggggeeeesssss. Will be out of the entertainment budget so all fine.....

    Have just been looking at some of the soft play areas - for the really big ones it was going to cost us £29 :eek: and thats with a online discount!!!! Wont be going there then. The more local one will still be £16 but much better (Not sure why they have to charge for ds2 who will prob just sit in his car seat!!)

    Also had to pay for the car tax - £190 worse off - but soo glad I dont have to worry too much as had it saved in bank already :)

    Afternoon Mummy, oofft to the £190 on car tax, but at least your legal for another year!

    OMG to soft play costing you £29 :eek:! Thats blooming ridiculous, you shouldnt have to pay for DS2 hes only a few months old! Trying hard to think of cheap solutions for you but cant think of any at this moment!

    Did you enjoy your kebab? xx

    Yep I sure did enjoy it :) but DH ordered a indian instead and it cost a fortune for his!!!
    Yesterday we didnt go to soft play in the end - we went to look at tents. Really want to get one :( think it would be good for trips away for the next few years..... but cost a bit to start with!! DH is due some overtime so thought maybe we could get one with this (but we also thought we should save it for xmas) There was also some very expensive ones :eek::eek: Will have to have a good think about it??...............

    Today we are going to have a quiet day at home? The girls want a picnic in the living room and have made a pass the parcel and pin the tail on the donky :) Will keep them busy and happy for a while.

    Bit upset as i sold a nappy on a baby group and described it as it was but read a coment from the lady moaning about it :( so she wasnt happy but all the replies said thats how the nappies do go and that she just needed to pop it in the tumble drier!! So I know I sold it as described but dont like if people are not happy with it :(
