  • Sunday already.... ��

    We've had a really busy week and I just haven't had chance to login here. I had 3 NSDs last week, making it 10 then today should... Will be one so will finish on 11 for June.

    Thursday paid works lottery, got petrol and another trip to @ldi, spent £35. Yesterday we went out total spend was just over £80.�� That includes tickets, food and drinks, some we took with us but did buy some whilst we were there.

    This morning I've put 3 loads of washing out. Had a quick tidy on the kitchen. I've done meter readings, we are in credit but forgot to check if the balance included monthly payment paid on Friday.

    I'm going to do debts payments so will do an update.

    Xx

  • Current debt figure stands at £8512. We are down to 3 debts, bcard (PRA) 4077, capital 1585, yorks Bank cc (Cabot) 2850.

    It's won't let me update my signature at the moment. Have to wait until I can get on a computer I think.

    Although we have come a long way it still seems quite an amount....which if we stopped living I suppose we could pay of much quicker. But hey we've got to live I suppose. ��

    I forgot to mention in my previous post my car is in for mot tomorrow. We know its got to have a part for the door lock which is £30, so fingers crossed everything else will be OK.

  • Ok so car was not as bad I thought, £129 including the door lock thingy.


    We have had 1 NSD so far. Today I've paid into a works birthday collection, and lottery. Also ordered shopping online so that's coming tonight, £84.


    Need to sort some train tickets and hotel stay if I can find a cheap one, for a weekend family do later in the summer. We've decided to go now that the car MOT hasn't been too bad.


    I need to get some cash out as we are going for drinks tomorrow night, OH and DS3's cricket and DS3's bike needs 2 new tyres.

  • How can it be the last week of term already! We are ready, so ready. We've all had some sort of bug this week, so can't wait for some time off during the holidays.

    Today will be NSD 7. Yesterday was a bit spendy, £26 in the butchers, £21 in cheapy shop and £93 in supermarket. But that did include non food items which were shorts and socks for DS3, toiletries including OH's blades (and we all needed shampoo and I needed conditioner and hair stuff), and alcohol for next weekend as it was on offer. (it has been put away with strict instructions not to drink before��).

    We are just having a quiet day again today. I've pegged out... Of course. ��. I'm just going to sort through some post and the shelf in the cupboard where the paperwork is kept.

    EF is up to £425.

    Also need to work out activity spends/childcare for DS3 over the holidays.
