Benbenandme's Next Installment ...

Morning all A wet miserable one here, not sure what our plans are for today, maybe some baking or Easter activities, just don't want to spend much money, I seem to be frittering it away on nothing a lot recently

Ds got £20 for Easter from the crims parents, they said to spend it next week on the IOW but he has chosen to take £10 with him and save the other £10 for when we go to Spain in the summer ... ooh I'm teaching him well :rotfl:

I want to do a bit of a financial audit today, too many pots with bits and pieces in, I need to know exactly where my accounts are up to

Another lazy day, becoming a habit here This morning I got the ironing done and remade ds bed, he has been out playing with his friend from next door. I've just booked tickets to go to the Harry Potter studio tour on his birthday as his birthday treat, decided that instead of spending it on a party which often ends up in a mess due to his behaviour, I'd rather spend it on a treat day out instead, so as he's been on and on about it for ages I booked that. He's soooo excited
Anyway, he's now decided we need a Harry Potter dvd marathon, so while the first one is just starting I'm also going to sort my finances on here

Finances sorted and not as bad as I thought, I now know exactly whats left for the rest of the month. I've also counted the penny pots and have £10 of small change to be banked, and £60 in the holiday £2 pot

Morning all, sun is shining here Todays plan involves sorting out the garage, not sure if the tip will be open today, I need to check the website. If it is we will be making several trips I imagine I also need to fill the windscreen wash etc in the car. We need to finish the topping on some refridgerator cakes we made last night, Mum is coming round for tea and cake this afternoon too. I also want to get stuff on ebay tonight as its a free listing weekend, if I put them on for a week they will finish when we get back next weekend and can hopefully then be posted on the saturday before we go back to school if they sell

Time to get up now

Mum phoned, she took the dog for his normal walk this morning in the forest, she parks by a campsite and walks from there, anyway, when she got there it was swarming with police and press, and a 6yr old girl has been murdered and her parents arrested :eek: Poor poor thing, sends a shiver down the spine

We went to Tescos this morning, I had a £5 off £40 voucher, got loads of stuff ... and it came to £38 :cool: so I had to quickly nip off and get a couple more boxes of Weetabix (we go through mountains of them), so with the voucher it all came in at £35.50. I didn't get much fresh stuff as we go away on monday, but did get cereal, squash, biscuits, crisps and sweets to take with us next week I also got another bottle of suncream for the summer holiday, so thats 3 bottles of varying factors now, I'm gradually getting everything we need, not much more to get

Mum popped round for coffee this afternoon, she had some of ds cake, was yummy

Ds is playing on his roller skates with the boy from next door at the moment, soon be time for his bath but I'll let him have a little longer before I call him in

Yes weather wasnt great and caravan very very cold come back with really bad cold - windy and very rainy. Good break though off to Torquay in a hotel end of the month with my sister and little boy. our son loved the holiday his 1st one ever and he loved the cheesy entertainment. Hope you have a good week and hope the weather is better for you
