Love it, was the wine consumed at the same rate the rain fell?

Was consumed pretty fast Skint!! :rotfl:

Treated myself to breakfast at Tesco this morning, £3, was good, paid £50 off the Next Directory, need to get that cleared as that is the only debt outstanding that i am paying interest on.

Have ordered my grocery shopping on line, saves me picking up bargains that i do not need, not sure what delight to make for tea, maybe i will ask the DC when they finish school. Last week of school before the summer hols, looking forward to not having to rush every morning.

I need to go and finish the ironing, got bored halfway through

Morning was spent doing the housework, walking the dogs and cleaning the chicken run & nest box, 3 more lovely fresh eggs were awaiting me so i treated myself to fried egg and toast for lunch

Popped around to see mum & dad this afternoon and had mums scones then a quick trip into Morrisons, needed milk and came out with just that !! Easy done when i only had £2 coin in my pocket as i deliberately left my purse at home.

Sheperds pie for tea this evening.

mmm shepherds pie! Sounds lovely. Are you doing many nights this week?

mummychicken

Hi Skint, only worked my usual shifts this week (2 nights) as DH working away so cannot do extra.

Slept for a few hours as i worked last night, looking forward to a hot bubbly bath and a few essential beauty treatments, then an early night to catch up on essential beauty sleep

Tomorrow i want to pop into M&S for DC school uniform trousers/skirts as they have 20% off school uniforms. Also, need to get school shoes at some point.

Decided to treat myself to a lazy day and enjoy the quiet house with only the dog for company as after today it will be a wild, noisy, busy house with the DC finishing school for the summer hols!

Was a bit naughty, trated myself to a Big Mac for lunch as i fancied one Other than that i am not spending today!

Just heard the sad, shocking news about Amy Winehouse, that poor troubled girl I loved her music, what a terrible shame that she could not be helped. RIP Amy.

Whinging about money seems so wrong when you hear about all the troubles going on in the world, i watched the news this evening and thought about the things i moan about and felt really guilty .

However, that is life, there is always someone worse off and occaisonally we sort of need reminding of that.

I will have this in mind, but also know that as a person i could be a happier, better person if i were to be debt free. We all deserve to be true to ourselves and to do whatever it means to acheive this, so whilst it may be selfish, i am the only one who can be selfish to myself, therefore i will comit to continue chipping away at the debt which is dragging me down and making me a superficially sad person.

My thoughts tonight however, are with those families in Norway whose relatives were brutally killed by a mad gunman.

I feel the same, all those poor families, they were just children really on that island with their whole life ahead of them, so sad.
