  • I didnt even get a couple of hrs peace lol!! DH wasnt home in time and it was late I had to take all the other kiddies with me. As it was only 1.5 hrs and was a drive away I decided to take the kiddies for tea in tesco (We didnt get home till half6 so was late for them) so cost me even more money lol but they loved it :)

    Today has been a lovely day! Been over to watch DD play footy (Her match was cancelled though because of frost but they still had some training) Wasnt a NSD though as brought DD2 and 3 a hotdog while there (Only 50p each so not to bad and a cup of tea for me - to warm me up lol)
    Then took DD2 and 3 out on bikes for a bit while DD1 was out with friends. So been a nice busy day.

    Had Fahitas for dinner and they were yummy!! Love them :) Got the Chicken out for tomorrows roast then have another party tomorrow night for DD2....

  • Gosh i'm exhausted reading how much you did today.
  • Lol penny It was a busy weekend but I love it when its all busy and the kids do loads. Sunday was even more busy!!

    Today ive ordered my online shop and all in budget :) I also got sent a email saying as I hadnt shopped with them for ages I could have £7.5 off my shop - Even though its not been that long.... So saved myself some pennies.

    Today has been a nsd (Shop will come out tomorrow) so all good. Kids want school dinners tomorrow so will have to pay for them. They also have a school trip on wednesday and need a back pack - was going to use a little draw string bag for them each but think I will try and have a look tomorrow for a cheap one each from the sports shop as the other bags might dig in there sholders carring them around all day?

    Have done a survey today so a few more points nearer to payout....they are a bit slow at the mo though.

    Am so tired tonight so going to go and get a early night x

  • Hi m2mg, i would check with school to see if they are carrying them all day, i have found when we have gone on school trips that children have been given an area in the building to leave there bags or left them on the coach until they needed them at lunch time, might just save you a few pounds if they are not walking around with them.

    Hope you have a good day.
  • Hello. They said they are taking them all day (Think the coach has to go away a bit to park etc) So got them a cheap one each from the sports shop which always has sales lol. DD1 could do with one anyway for after school clubs etc.
    They have gone today so hope they are having a LOVELY day..........
    Had to get the dog a new bed today as she has chewed hers to bits and wee'd all over it!!Yucky dog!!! But got one in sale for £12 so not too much. Other then that it should be no more spends :) Need to get some petrol soon as running low but will save that for another day :)

    Listed some things to sell so will see how they go :)

    Hello Well its been a while :o:o:o:o:o
    I have had a few health issues and other things going on which has to be honest completly taken my mind away from DFWs!! But I will try and get back into the groove.........
    I havent added to the debt but also havent really tried hard to do anything about it either! But im glad its not gone up.
    I have recently sold something - only made about £20 but it all helps. I also have started doing the Royal Mail surveys so getting lots of free stamps which will be handy espicialy with the recent news about stamps going up in price. Also today I received a £10 love to shop voucher on there daily prie draw they do :) Do fingers crossed I might win some more through the year to help towards xmas/bdays......

    Well best be off but I WILL try and get bac on here and catch up on everyones diarys xx

    (My laptop is playing up and doesnt let me type the last letter of the alphabet so sorry if its missing :) )
