Hi Coco114, I just wanted to pop in and say :wave:. I'm halfway through reading your diary and have subscribed (and will read the rest of it later), but just wanted to say what an awesome job you're doing and keep up the good work.

Coco114

Well I lay in bed until 9.30 today - did a few surveys (0.50p) read some posts and looked at grocery challenge and some old style tips. But I finally caved in and came down to make some tea ......:eek:

Oh my , there is a clear path of devastation right across my living room and into the kitchen .... Crisp packets , clothes , games, DVDs - a good night was had by all by the look of it
The little (big) darlings have until 10.00 , then I am going about my business as normal ! Not a great start to my clearing up/ sorting out wknd but at least they had fun !

Raining here today so no excuse not to do inside jobs and what to get super organised for the week ahead. Have to buy youngest new school shoes today - how on earth do you "lose " a pair of shoes anyway ?! Surely they should be on your feet ??!!
So cheap pair from Mr T it will be.

Hope you are all enjoying your Sundays ......

Masonn - I meant to say , your post really made me laugh :rotfl:

Sadly , his car needs more work than mine & MOT end July ..... So I am just going to use and abuse it I want my little car anyway. It totally freaked me out this morning when I looked out of my bedroom window and saw it parked on my drive !! It doesn't belong here so the sooner it's gone the better - but handy for now

I also stated firmly I want definate dates for weekends in future - these kids need to know where they are now. Told him to pick his start wknd (so next wknd or one after) and it's every other week from then on - no excuses, he will just have to plan accordingly the same as me !

So there

Go me !

i must get back on track today-last few weeks been crappy-worries about job,mum been in hospital,been eating lots of lovely but fattening food and have spent loads on god knows what!!

just been through freezer and cupboards and done a weeks meal plan and shopping list-not bad really. have taken out a tupperware box of a something leftover for tea-haven't a clue what-some sort of stew/hotpot i think.....

Sounds like the boys had fun,hope they help you clear up!

my 11 year old told me the other day he doesn't need to learn about cleaning and tidying as he's going to live with me for ever anyway-yes,thats my fault i know!

Damn I was so close on the lottery ..... Only needed 5 more numbers for the jackpot :rotfl:

Aamberle

Hi Coco shame about the lottery..dam* those numbers, never there when you need them. They will probably appear in next weeks ( when you do not want them):D

Anyway just wanted to pop on and say well done, follow your diary with interest - you are doing so well. I am another one of your fans xx

Good Luck x:T

One thing I cannot get my head around - I am in a monumental amount of debt , yet , I have nothing real to show for it ?! A clapped out car & a couple of flash TVs ... That's it really - not much else. It's a strange thing !

Coco sadly I think this is the same for many of us, I sometimes wonder how I couldn't see the debt growing and stop and think..........at least we've all now seen the light and can now see the pleasure cheap pop and crisps brings is just as great as and expensive takeaway and coc@ cola
