Hi Cuppy and debt free dani
Thanks for poping buy and nice to know more people are reading!! So I know I have to be good otherwise ill have to tell you all lol.
Hi Chevalier, I do my own SOA all the time and know what money goes where but I havent posted it on here for a long while. Not sure I really want to as I know people will say all the places I can strip it down - but to be honest I am happy with how it is and not willing to cut it anymore as still want to be able to get kiddies the odd clothes when they need (Have £50 a mth for this but some times gets saved over to mths which are more expensive) and also prob spend more then some on entertainment a mth as I would rather it take a little longer and still do the odd thing with the kiddies (Not that we do loads but they do swimming lessons which I know I could save on) If I can pay off the £9000 this year I will be soo happy and if any more its a nice bonus
We had a lovely day!! Kids loved it, we met my dad there and he paid for the kiddies to get in and brought them a cake after so was a less spend day then I thought. Just the £25 on the dog!!
But DH has brought a couple last bits for xmas and knowing him he will have got a few more then on the list!!! So will have to see what damage he has done :cool:
Pay day today!! Which im so relieved with!! I hate only have bare minimum in the bank. So now we have lots, but it has to last till end of Jan and we have DD2s birthday in the begining of Jan.......atleast can get her a couple of bits in the sale! Will see what she says she didnt get for xmas and then hunt for some bargains
Right best go get these little monkeys in bed as so far only DS2 is in bed!!!GC: Nov: £60.22/£450 Oct: £338.48/£450, July: £363.05/£450, June £447.98/£500£2 savers No68: £104/£100 :j:jmummy to: 8yr, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, 1yr. No6 Due Mar 2013 My world.:j0 -
Hi Mummy, awww im glad youve had a nice day with the kiddies
.
My DD2's birthday in January too and she wants a barbie bike with the ride along thing! We found you can buy the barbie ride on thing seperately for £12 so think she will be getting that along with a cheaper bike!
Good luck with your challenge, you can do it!! xMummytogirls x0 -
