    Morning

    OH is back. The flat is looking untidier by the second. He's such a messy devil.

    His parents went back home yesterday. I was so bored Friday night, they were watching the History channel continuously. They did buy us lunch yesterday though.

    Money wise, I've put £10 petrol in the car. OH then proceeded to borrow it last night. I will go mad if he hasn't replaced what he used. I can't afford to put anymore petrol in until I get that BT money or I get some MS money.

    Oops, Amazon account is below £10 now. OH and I are trying to cut back on the fizzy stuff (him for health reasons, me for money reasons) so I ordered a water filter for £10 yesterday. Also just ordered my nephew's Easter present (some Tomy hide and squeak eggs) for £5.

    Really need to get moving on those Amazon vouchers now. I need to get about £30 by the 4th April so I can order my mum's DVDs.

    Just completed a Pinecone survey for £3 Luncheon vouchers towards my mum's birthday cake too :).

    It's so sad about Fabrice Muamba. Didn't hear about it until yesterday afternoon. Just 23 years old :(. I really hope he pulls through.

    Had a look around on Amazon yesterday and have found the same films my mum wanted in different box sets, which work out cheaper. So I only need £20 Amazon vouchers now. I'm hopeful I can get them by the end of the month.

    OH put in another £10 petrol yesterday, so that should keep me going for a bit longer. Looked on some MS sites last night and one of them sent payment on Friday, so I reckon that should hit my account on Wednesday. It's only £15, but boy do I need it at the moment.

    Morning :)

    Not much happening around here. I finally have a bit of money - a crisp £20 note is sat in my purse. Feels good not to be skint for the first time in weeks (don't worry - I won't waste it ;)).

    Received my BT cheque and put it in the bank yesterday, so that should clear sometime next week.

    Also received a £5 Amazon voucher from free bingo yesterday, so only £15 needed so that I can buy my mum's birthday present. Then I need to start saving for my niece's present. Her birthday is 20th May and I would like to get at least £50 Amazon vouchers by then.

    Beautiful day here again today. I love the Spring :cool:.

    Morning :)

    It was a lovely weekend on the south coast. On Saturday, OH and I did some much needed food shopping and general tidying up. Yesterday, we went to the cemetery to see Joshua and my dad and then walked through the cemetery and down to a park so my niece could play there. Sat on the swing with my nephew on my lap and he loved it.

    The only down point was the last Harry Hill's TV Burp. I adore that show. Can't believe it was the last one ever :(.

    Nothing much happening money-wise. I've still got my £20 in my purse (plus another £5) as my BT cheque cleared Saturday, so I spent half on food and half on petrol.

    About £250 I think. I am just waiting for the bed he has now to make his back sore like mine before he joins we'll see how long that lasts :p
