    aww :( home alone is nice sometimes though.

    It's lovely and sunny here today, which is why I needed to get out of bed, have washing on the line and loads of housework done. Just waiting for Mr IT to finishes whatever he's doing and go play crazy golf.

    Hmm windows open and I'm getting loads of lovely fresh air... I love this time of year

    I planned to put the last of my washing out this afternoon as I was convinced it was my day off- until I realised its Sunday and I have to work so my spare room is full of damp washing again, which is annoying but the windows are open and am making the most of the lovely weather while I can.

    We had a lovely afternoon thanks and cheap too, £5 for the pair of us, and out in the sunshine :D. No better way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

    He needs something doing to his exhaust to, so we'll be having a few more cheap days out. I love them, who needs to spend money to have a good time.

    Although I do need to train him in the way of the picnic, makes days out so much cheaper.

    Right I need to work out what I'm wearing tomorrow and iron it... I hate the Sunday back to work routine :( and then there is making lunch too.

    Oh had a scare at the cash point earlier.... I read £36 :eek: (payday isn't until the 31st)....... just checked online and its actually £86 :rotfl: that'll teach me to pay attention.

    Luckily all my bills have gone out, so it's just fuel and a little bit of spending money. Looks like I spent to much when I was away last weekend :o but Mr IT has an exam on Friday so might not see him this week :( but it will save some drinks money ;)

    Oh and I might be camping over the Easter weekend... :eek: I don't camp, so it could be interesting. Coping tips are welcome

    Evening all

    Well had a carpy day at work, really busy, one member of staff has been 'borrowed' by another department until year end, when means we are even more short staffed :mad:, I've had a headache all day and have had a right grump on :rotfl:

    On a plus side, I have had 3 biscuits, a piece of chocolate cake and a mini flake..... :D:o and watched the new Breaking Dawn movie (DVD thanks Mum x)

    um thats about it, nothing really money saving happening today really.

    4 days after the Easter weekend? Is that to recover from camping? ;)
    Wandered away from the MSE track for a while but am back and on a mission! Debts cleared nearly £18k. Now to start saving ...

    Hi

    Not been about much recently, but still moneysaving. And I am proud to say I have not added to my debt :D

    Although just had a small disagreement with my Mum, apparently me being in debt means she can't spend anything on herself. Not 100% sure how that works, but apparently it's my fault. I think she is saying that as she won't take any extra rent. So I'm going to have a look and see what else I can give her.

    My weekend away was amazing, really enjoyed it and didn't actually spend that much. And so far I'm enjoying my week off, although will be off to deal with some condensation problems we are having soon.

    Ok other jobs for this week:

    Log phone with bank insurance and cancel with service provider
    Do same with car for breakdown cover
    Update Sig to show new less in debt figures :T

    Right had best get going
