Cant think of anything else yet, but theres always odd jobs to be done and found.

Also need to have a look into getting a few small presents for my ds1 birthday next week. My kids seriously dont need any more toys so i may look for some clothes or shoes etc.

Done quite a bit to say i have been out most of the day. will eave ironing until tomorrow night now as i have a was to put on tomorrow and it will dry on the line before tomorrow night.

Right off to do some surveys

Ok the house is looking abit cleaner, getting there now just need to keep it up and try and get these kids to stop making a mess.
just going to settle down and wait for csi to start

Oh and not looking forward to weighing myself in the morning

Its my eldest son birthday today. unfortunately its a school day and hes had to go. hes opened his pressies though and hes happy with what he got.
My other son has an appointment with the school this afternoon to fill out forms and sort out his place for nursery in september. so jut need to do a clean up around the house and then go out.

He has also not wore a nappy for the past 3 days(other than at night) and he is doing really well. think hes only had one accident, but im trying not to stay out too long with him and when hes at home, he doesnt wear anything.

Tomorrow is a nw month, which means tv licence and water bill comes out by dd. I have the money ready. Rossendales is due on tuesday, but as it is a bank holiday, im ummming and ahhhing over paying it tomorrow.

Need to keep the food bill down this week if i can. need to top up gas and put a few quid on the electric.

Also need to buy a lock for my bedroom cupboard/wardrobe. Kids keep going in there and making a mess, and they have no need to go in there so need to fix a lock high up the door to stop them going in.

So food shop will be done tomorrow afternoon, so i have all morning to sort out all the crap in my house and get it chucked out or cleaned up. dont think there is anything worth anything so doubt there will be anything to sell.

will see if there is any spare cash for some extra payments, but i doubt it.

Money is low, but im hoping to not spend anything today and trying to keep spending to a minimum for rest of the week. Doesnt help that im am already fed up of the cartoons, loud shouting and fighting that the boys seem to be doing.

Been doing some cleaning today and thats about all.

Didnt win the lottery last night

May have to finish painting my bedroom ceiling this week just so that i am not watching cartoons all week. this will mean going out and buying a paint pad or roller though.

Hope the weather gets better tomorrow as its wet and horrible today which means i cant even take kids to the park, or get the washing dry properly

well i have finished painting my bedroom ceiling but did get covered in paint while doing it.

Boring half term holiday as money is tight. Payday tomorrow means that i can pay some more off the debt and finish paying my mum for my oven.

Will be doing food hopping tomorrow as my mum is going away for a few days for weekend so wont be able to go on friday. So will have to jig some money about to pay for shopping tomorrow and then take the money back out and in the right place on friday. Tomorrow the debt will be under 9.5k, so i am now working on the next target of getting it under 9k

mandz1

Payments today of £40 to mum, £10 to lewis debt recovery and £47 to ncc. So today i have managed to make my debt 2 aka ncc below 1.5k and also lowered my total debt to below 9.5k. Only £444 to go to get it under 9k.

Dont think i can make anymore payments until the 19th and 21st. will see how we go. i really have to stop spending money on extra food and stuff for the kids etc.

Have just been looking on ikea website for some kind of toy storage but i have come off the site as there is no point in looking at stuff i cant afford. Priority is debt and saving up some spending money for holiday.
