    Pay day tomorrow so I have been plotting and planning for the coming month, I have a little of the car money left :j
    so if all things plan out as they should I will hopefully have another 1K to go off the card which will mean the end of it come Aug!:D:D

    NSD yesterday and the ironing mountain has been defeated and the plants are happily resting as it is far too windy to put them out just yet
    Off out tonight to help DS with his bike so a quick and easy dinner to be ready when we get in
    Didn't manage a run yesterday (it was just far too horrid, so will be going at lunch today instead

    4 months today since I joined and I'm still here :j:j
    Last night was a quiet one, got the camping stuff ready and kept up to date with the chores Hurrah! finished work late so not much time for anything else but work is busy and for that more than anything is our industry I must be grateful so whoever is looking out for me up there I am hugely thankfull:A

    Plotting is all in place and I just need to wait for the DD's to start coming out then I can start making payments
    Big expenses this month include a one off insurance payment of £500 (have the money put away )
    Payment for DS ski trip and a weekend away camping apart from that it all seems pretty normal

    Should be able to see a big difference by the end of this month:D:D

    OK so I hope you all had a good weekend and that all achieved what they wanted, me and my big mouth, no sooner had I said all big expenses accounted for and a wedding invite lands on our laps, :eek:
    Cyprus next week!!:eek: so have booked the tickets and am VV excited all in it was £395 for both of us, and one of our big weekends has been overtaken by this so money will be moved from one to the
    other just need to make sure I keep it low when we're there.:T:T:T

    Runs off to rummage for suitable dress, so not causing more expense!

    Have paid £350 off the card this morning so have nearly cancelled out the expense ! Kept it relatively low just food and a sneaky meal out with the kids, but we wont all be sat down together for some weeks now so it was much needed :cool::o

    Yes but I will need to keep the spending under control or we will be living off beans on toast for the rest of the month!:o

    Car payment went out today:), so sig adjusted as did a payment for a cancelled insurance policy so I will be chasing that down right away :mad:
    One of the hounds has to be groomed today I really can't hold it off any longer, and I can't clip him myself as his fur cloggs up the clippers and wrecks them!:eek:

    Apart from that it will be a NSD as I have all the food and bits I need for the week, I will just need to venture to Mr T's on Sat for some teenage friendly food so that they don't starve over the weekend:cool:

    Need to take DS to the river tonight and while I wait I will take a run along the bank then settle down with a book and a packed tea rather than sneak off for an over priced coffee in the local pub round the corner.
