well done on the payments happy

I'm also slightly over weight for me, and I often wonder if this is what causes my huge energy slumps so often? It has to be something in the air, it really is catching!!! Hopefully I've passed it on now though lol as I feel much better today (touch wood!!)

Thank you everyone

I have been really busy and spent loads (all pre budgeted!) I have also reserved DD1 her christmas pressie as argos has the storio and game cheap at the moment and also the Vtech Kiddizoom. Will save £40.25 by ordering now. Will be shopping around for our list of toys to get the best deals.

Tomorrow will also be a spend day as we have to buy wallpaper and a door.

dd2 is taking her time cutting this tooth if shes no better monday I will take her docs as she has a gunky ear

What a day and ...... we have a tooth :j:j:j

I have finally got the wallpaper which I will add towards the savings as this is part of what it was for so thats next weekends activities sorted! Thanks Mr HBS i'm sure you will have fun doing that I will just project manage

Been to tesco and got a few whoopsies but that should be it now, I need the bank account to show everything thats gone out so I can see what I can put accross to savings. Ummmm I dont think I have had any CSA money it was due on Wednesday only £10 but I transfer this direct to savings (can't rely on it!) I am hoping to have £520 to add to savings by Friday :eek:

I'm glad there's a tooth. I remember when my two were teething, quite a while ago now though.

I trust you will have a good week ahead.

Keep up the good work!

Really boring day for me ironing, cleaning and a bit more ironing. Checked accounts and moved some money around.

On the plus side it was a NSD :j

I have so far today done not a lot but still been busy, I have just fed DD2 and she is now playing with DD1's noisy telephone.

DD1 used the toilet today and earned herself some sweets, once she is out of nappys I should save about £20 p/m.:D

Lots of spend days for me lol so behind on this race!

I have been doing christmas shopping so far we have managed to save about £360 by shopping around and thats including buying 2 bikes unbudgeted for The money saved has been added to the savings so will update signature in a bit. Im going to alter my savings target when I buy anything the target is towards as its confusing me im just going to keep the cash total and deduct the money spent.

Not much left on the christmas spending front now, stocking fillers parents and nephew and neice.

DH payday today so will pay bills and update with any overpayments.

We are staying with my parents for a few days we tied it in with DH working in the area so saved on petrol costs :money: We have a few family members to visit tomorrow but today we went into town.

I have been trying to get a coat for DS since the summer hols, he is far too picky but today he found one he would wear this set me back £65 but he now has a nice warm coat which he has promised not to rip (give it 2 months!) My mum also found some M&S vouchers which we were given nearly 2 years ago their was £6.75 remaining so we picked up some christmas biscuits one less thing to buy.

I havent paid much of debt this week as have not sold anything and been sorting out christmas but next week the d/d for the car will go out, I did pay barclay card but I'm not sure I got the correct balance for this card as its still registered at my mums address in my maiden name (slack I know!!) While I am here I will go through my post and update the balance to the correct amount.:o My wages come through on 31st and child benefit and working families will follow over the following days so should be able to knock some of the debt

Waffling over!

Rounded down in bank and sent £9.67 to barclay card
