Lulabelle's MFW Diary

My pay day is ages away, currently "overspent" big style due to holiday.

I know, if its not bags, it houses....

Perhaps you could combine the two, and buy a bag-shaped house ... or be slightly more MSE and just go for a house-shaped bag

Either way, this makes me very happy as this could mean that you will be around these parts for slightly longer avec moi;)

Yes Natty - I will definitely be hanging around on here much longer once the B2L actually happens......

I can't believe how long I have been hanging around. Its a year in a few weeks.

I have been on for three years.... I hope you will let me stay next year when we have hopefully hit our target as I find it very grounding and helps me to focus on the value of our hard earned money to be on here. As well as fun!

It's lovely being part of such a nice group of people!

1 sleep until payday and the sun is shining, hurrah!

Bought the boys their school shoes yesterday, very stressful but at least it's done.

We're off to the cinema this morning, bargain kids showing, £9 for the 3 of us. Taking a big bag with me today so that I can sneak in my drinks and snacks.

My mac is off to the Genius Bar is afternoon for diagnosis - everything backed up on to two external hard drives to be on the safe side.

Pilates tonight but only if DH gets back from the apple store in time.

Not sure what I'm going to feed the children today as the cupboards are getting very empty, but there's no way I'm taking them both food shopping as it will tip me over the edge, so it needs to wait until tomorrow.

Bag collection under control hun, it hovers around the 10 mark, drops every now and then but I always seem to end up topping it back up to 10...... I've managed not to go over 10 though which is good going... For me anyway!

Decided to take the boys and meet DH so that we could go to the shopping centre together.....

Mac hopefully fixed. No cost. Love apple.

Treated myself to a caramel macchiato and skinny lemon and poppyseed muffin whilst DH was a the Genius Bar. Treated the boys to a cookie to (payday tomorrow).

Looked in gap and found two nice jumpers. Didn't buy as will wait until they have a 20 discount on the website.

Had an early dinner together. Was sunny so we sat outside. I had a wine too and it was lovely sitting outside in the sunshine. Also, what I ordered wasn't available but they only realised half way through the meal so I ordered something else and they gave me mine for free. Carluccios. Very impressive service.

Had a little look in john Lewis. Might have identified my next bag purchase.

Catching up with work now...............

Pay Day - hurrah!!!!!

Love doing the money shuffles... all done for today. A little bit more shuffling when DH gets paid tomorrow.

Meeting this morning and then a friend popped in for coffee this afternoon. Lots of catching up to do now that my Mac is working and back to normal.

No exercise yet this week but hoping to get along to Body Combat tonight.
