We are about to pull the purse strings soooo tight!

Yippee its Friday

OH did call into A1di and got potatoes, bananas, lemonade (for my spritzer tonight ) and yogurts. I'll let him off this time!!

We might be going to Fireworks at the football club tomorrow. I've worked out we can go with £5 if we have squash and OH has 1/2 a pint. I think we should go to support the club, but we'll see.

Need football subs for DS3 tonight £3 (we forgot to pay last week).

Nearly forgot I counted up my T3sco clubcard vouchers this morning, we've got £40 worth. I need to check this double voucher scheme they've got going at the moment. According to the leaflet we can get a £25 1tunes voucher for £12.50, which would be great for DS2 and DS3 for Christmas.

Still only had 2 NSDs so far this month....not good. xx

I am also struggling with the NSDs..not good. Think I need to add a goal to my signature for next month.

If you go to the Fireworks hope you have a great time

I usually try and save everything up and pay it all out over 2-3 days of the week but just lately something needs paying everyday. Mind you we won't have any money left after the weekend so we should have some NSDs next week.:)

Hope your NSDs soon start mounting up brizzle. I don't know if you have a target? I try and beat the previous month but not doing too well at the minute.:eek:

We are down to £34.97, I took £10 out and spent £2.60 on hot chocolate and sandwiches at football this morning (I always take food but.....).

DS2 has gone to watch local football team play, gave him £5. He did say he'd go to HB's on the way to get a drink instead of buying one there.....very MSE, although he's still doing extra chores following the 'mobile phone episode'!

I need to put £20 petrol in my car today. Food wise, we just need cereal, fruit and packed lunch stuff.

Still only had 2 NSDs, the CH is on a little bit now, petrol for the month (after £20 today) £40, food so far £133.75. Need to find some cash for Fireworks at the football club tonight.

Off to get washing in, but doubt its dried. xx

Hi Alice,

How much are we down to now with 4 days until payday?! I dont think £2.60 on hot chocolate and sandwiches sounds a bad price at all!! I paid £1.60 at soft play for 1 latte!

Well done on still putting the washing out, I gave up about a month ago!! xx

You're right mummy, payday on Thursday. I think this has been our worst week and wouldn't say I'm enjoying it as such but I like a challenge and the kids are none the wiser.

I've pegged out again this morning, although I think it will freeze first before it dries any.:eek: xx

Another payment on the car loan today (well due today but will show on the account tomorrow), which means we are down to 4 payments left :j.

Had a good night at the fireworks, spent a total of £4.20.:D

I've pegged out this morning, although its frosty out there the sun is out so we'll see.

Today will be a NSD....I hope .

Yippee today was a NSD, number 3 for the month.:)

Forgot to note managed to order 2 x itunes vouchers from T3sco using my points on Friday. I've updated my list of Christmas presents I need to get, will spread them out over the weeks so they are not left all to the last minute!!

Hope everybody has a great week.x

No. 3 ..well done you!!

I'm shattered tonight

I decided to do some baking tonight whilst tea was cooking as the cupboards are looking a bit bare. I've made cup cakes and rock cakes.

Checked our bank account today, not all DDs had been taken out so it still said £48.71 in credit...........I wish

Another NSD today, number 4......I'm on a roll. xx
