Hi everyone
DNMS and La E- hope you feel better soon
today we had a lovely day out in Edinburgh not very mse but was worth it just home.
just wanted to update that last night I renewed my car insurance got it for £60 cheaper than any other quote and have £70 cashback tracked through quidco :j
Hope you all have a lovely weekend it's very quiet on here.0 -
Early one for me today, although having 5 minutes with a cup of tea before rest if house wakes up
. Not feeling great myself so with those others of you who feel the same, just tired and a bit lethargic. Oh well must keep plodding on, hopefully extra day off tomorrow might perk me up a bit:p. List for the weekend:
Out for day yesterday, DH treated us and BIL to breakfast for BIL b'day
In laws treated us to tea:T no cooking and didn't have to use any of our food :j
Washing on low, dry naturally including bedding
Update budget with new nursery fees - increase of course;) although it will include nappies and wipes going forward which will mean I no longer have to do a wash each day as DD currently has reusables. Think I won't be too worse off overall
Maybe go to a BBQ later if weather holds, will possibly walk and will drink pop as won't be able to stay late as need to be home for DD bedtime
Meal plan for next week - must do this, been on my list for about a week:)
Order clubcard vouchers for meals out and safari park for our holiday we have booked.
Think that's about all. Have a great day everyone:):)
