So far today we have stripped the paper off in the living room and now we are off to get some gloss will go to wilkos as they are giving a free paintpod which we can sell at carboot.

We have had to borrow money from the £90 for water rates but i can put that back in soon.

well I have spent all evening listing on ebay I already have one bid with 7 days left how exciting, I will see how this goes before digging out more for the next free listing day.

We are doing a carboot next Saturday and we have already sorted out for that and have dedicated a shed for these items. I am ashamed to say I have 5 prams/buggys which are not used or needed I just cant resist

Grrrrr on emergency for gas and electric my child benefit went in today so will have to get some, the paying money out seems never ending:(

so today I have to catch up from the weekend I have already hoovered fully down stair made DD1s bed and DSs and opened the windows - so left to do!

1. clean kitchen load dishwasher
2. Spread washing
3. put OH workshirts in to wash (he brought 5 home from work!)
4. take DD1 & DD2 to the park walking to loose the extra bit of weight
5. do tea

when DD1 goes to bed hoover and pick up

Mr Tumble has just come on so DD1 is happy DD2 is starting to wake so best get her a bottle and bath ready.

Been busy today I completed the to do list and also did a second coat of gloss in our living room. DD1 has been very well behaved today im sure she will make up for that tomorrow, DD2 slept all day and DS came home from school and helpped me by sanding the skirting boards. I will be happy when that room is complete its just a un-used room at the moment.

I have been checking my items on ebay 1 has bids with 6 days to go and 2 have people watching but have £11 so far!

Good luck with your debt busting. Have you done a Statement of Affairs anywhere, as this can really focus you on where you are overspending.

Thank you, we have done a SOA, we dont have any spare for personal spends I will post one later the surplus is being spent on the house and baby milk and nappys. We have been keeping every receipt to mke sure we are not spending for the sake of it our petrol costs and OHs car insurance take a lot of our wages but he has just got a job which he starts next month which includes a company car and higher wages.

Its a little dull outside this morning I really hope it brightens up so I can take dd1 and dd2 out in the pram for an hour, I have a dress which I have to wear in 3 weeks and although it fits it would look better if my belly didnt stick out further than my boobs!

I dont have a lot to do today just a quick tidy up and then more decorating. The house we live in is rental but in need of decorating we do get a heavy discount for the state it is in I hope the dont put the rent up when we are done:)

I found 50p in the back of the pram today and got excited how sad is that!

I am getting their with the decorating will be painting the ceiling tomorrow I have picked the wallpaper so OH will be picking that up for me on friday. I have had a boring day which seems to be the norm at the moment.
