    Good morning all, hope you are all well xx

    Walking to school this morning so will be leaving in the next 5 mins....I'll sort a list when I get back and before I go to Mums.

    Got paid today so I need to start a spending diary, or something......At the mo I seem to be spending a lot more than I have coming in and Christmas is coming...I'll have a look into that when I get back as well.

    I have sold a bag of clothes as well so will have to factor that in as well.....

    I have made beds and put a load of washing on......

    See you all in a bit..........xx

    I have been looking through the boards for ideas on a spending diary and I don't think I would remember to write everything down or put it onto a spread sheet but have found a free app on my phone....spendometre...hopefully this will help as I always have my phone with me.........I shall let you know!!!

    Off to Mums now.....should be back by 11 to do a HHC before work............xx
  • Well my HHC took a lot longer than thought, mostly due to the fact I thought I would have a quick clean of the fridge, OMG, it took me an hour! This is not a job I'll be doing every week! Can't believe the fridge was that minging, well I can, I can't actually remember the last time I took all the shelves and drawers out!!!!:o But atleast thats done, also got a load of washing done and on the line.

    Going to chill for a while, watching home under the hammer with a coffee
  • Like the idea of spending diary toochoosy, although I don't have a posh enough phone for an app, keep telling OH this but I don't think he's listening lol :)
  • Thanks Missymoo....not sure how long I'll keep it up but I have to try something esp the way food prices and everything else has gone up.....I never used to check the prices but I find I'm doing it more and more now.

    OK, flying, Mums is done, and I put washing on the line here before I went.....HHC at 11???????
