Keeping my head clear and myself organised

longforthesun

I too am a firm believer in fate. Yep exciting times and at the moment just going to go with the flow what happens happens

Right moved £50 to the savings pot and have money left in the account, well only just about £115 but I think I should have about £60 of this left by next friday pay day :j:j:j:j:j

Half way through job application but have stopped for the night. Closing date not for another 6 days. God why do they have to be so complicated it is only a clerical job part time at that but I can waffle like the best of them so will get it finished tomorrow.

Put all the smelly trainers in the WM, my god what a noise but they are now smelling lovely and fresh, wonder how long that will last :rotfl:

Well I think I have posted enough rubbish for today. Going to relax with some cheese and crackers and watch rubbish on the TV.

Morning. I think I may have over done it yesterday I am shattered and sore

Going to have a lazy day, will put a few washings on but that doesn't take much energy.

Do need to iron but DD has been asking if she can learn to iron so today may be the day I let her :T saves me and I can supervise from the comfort of my sofa.

Might also do a quick stocktake of whats in the cupboard and freezer again DD can help with this.

She is very keen to learn to cook and i have a receipe journal that I am working on so that when she is older she can have. She is 10 at the moment so I have a few years.

I am trying to get both kids to understand that you need to save and not too waste things, i think it is slowly working. Would love them to not make the same mistakes as us when they are older.

DD did the ironing :j:j:j:j:j:j:j

I have cleaned the cupboard where all the tins are kept and it's all nice and organised now :T

WM is on and I think there is only 1 more load to do in the washing basket :j:j

Back to work Monday:( but at least the house is organised and so is my mind for once.

Right off to have some lunch and see what else needs doing.

Elec is £3.04 now and I still don't know about the Gas.

It was raining earlier and now it's dry but I am not hanging out the washing though because I think it might rain again.

Rather than use the TD I have put the clothes horse up in the kitchen and have the washing drying on it with the windo open. Later on i will pop it into the TD for 5 mins to finish it off.

Really want the £3.04 to last till Friday if poss. I am sure my car has petrol in it that should last till then. Want to keep most of the money in the bank till friday then i will move whatever is left into the savings pot.

Really trying to not go into the OD as there shouldn't be any need and if we want to get a mortgage in the next year I don't want our bank statements to show us going into the OD.

Film has just started on TV so me and the kids have settled down to watch it with a few biscuits from the tin

longforthesun

Well I fell asleep watching the film. Woke at 6pm:)

We have had dinner and I just need to do the dishes then crack on with this job application.

NSD today:j but will need to buy some fruit tomorrow and a few lunch bits for work but will keep this to a min.

Afternoon.

I am shattered again so spending the day in bed only popping out to do the odd bit around the house.

Have decided not to go to the shops today. I have enough for lunches for me and OH for a few days. Fruit wise there is enough to do till tuesday. Just need to be a bit inventive.

Lunch has been had HM soup again. Dinner is spag bol but no garlic bread but we can live without it this time:)

Gas is sitting at £6.00 so that shouls last till Friday :j as the heating is not on at the moment and just need it for hot water.

Elec is down to £2 so might need to pop £5 on it till Friday.

Food budget I have £24 left till Friday, I took another £30 last sunday as we were running low on money for food. This should do. I plan on have a few roast dinners this week before Friday but Lidl chickens are £2.98 and the veg and potatoes that go with it don't cost much, also yorkshire puds are only 45p

So NSD day today :j:j:j:j:j

Yesterday's washing is still on the clothes horse but look dry so will get that away and pop another load in the WM.

longforthesun

Shattered today but only got tomorrow at work then off for a few days

Have £100.43 left in the bank account and only need it to last till Friday. My car and OH car has enough petrol and the food money in the tin should do dinners for the next few days.

Would like to be able to at least put £50 in the savings pot on friday:)

House is a tip but will need to wait till wed to be sorted.

Lunch at work tomorrow will need to be soup as no bread in the house, will get to the shops tomorrow on my way home from work.

This rain is awfull so depressing.

Today we went to a friends house and went to an indoor play place. Hadd lunch there but had a voucher for gettting one of the kids in free so only spent £10.82.

Went to Lidl and spent £20 on bits and bobs.

OH has another 10 hours OT :j but this now wont get paid till August pay as was done past the cut off to be paid this month.

Really hoping this weather picks up soon as the kids are bored and it is costing me money to keep them amused :cool:

Dinner has been had, steak pie yum yum

2nd load is in the wm and 1st load is in the td. Hoovered today and kitchen and living room and tidy.

longforthesun

Not long up

Spending a voucher I had in @rgos today, getting a few bits for the living room to brighten it up.

Kitchen is a bit of a mess again but shouldn't take long to get sorted.

Got a letter from the bank saying we have £6 OD charges :mad: not sure when this was for so need to check but that should be the last as I am determined to not go into it and there is no reason why I should.

Dinner is roast chicken, roast potatoes, veg and yorshire puddings :-)

TD is on and need to do another washing.

longforthesun

OH is sorting the kitchen out as I type :T

Took the kids for a walk as it was dry for once. Didn't spend anything until on the way home I stopped at lidls to get ham as forgot it yesterday, bought a few other items and total spend was £8 :cool:

Payday tomorrow :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

Have been unable to save any of the money in my bank account :cool: BUT at least I am not OD. Need to spend tomorrow having a look to see how I spent the money.
