Keeping my head clear and myself organised

longforthesun

Banking done and all looks ok. Might be tight squeeze once I have the kids other school stuff in but if need be I can take a few £'s from the savings. I managed to put away £950 this month.

Debt sit at £5782 although I don't have full up to date figures on some so this is based on my own spreadsheet.

Last washing is blowing on the line so will get that away soon.

Dinner is breaded chicken, potatoes and veg.

Planning on relaxing tonight infront of the TV.

Not in the best of moods today but I think it's because I am due back in work this weekend.

Anyway went to FF and spent £10 and had a Gre*s for lunch £4.41.

OH got petrol yesterday so £20 for that.

Washing basket is full again :mad::mad::mad: not sure how it gets full 18 hours after i empty it. Raining today so will TD what I wash.

Dishes need done but I CBA.

Dinner will be something easy some HM soup and bacon toasties I think.

Mood has improved as I have applied for 2 jobs today. I have not heard from any of the jobs I have applied for:mad: but I know this is the norm now as my friend who has been unemployed for over a year also never hears from jobs she applies for.

So going to have a quiet night as back to work tomorrow

beanielou

Glad your mood has improved.
Hope you get a job you want soon.

longforthesun

Thanks beanielou

Well just in from work glad that's my first shift over with 2 more to go.

Not sure whats for dinner something easy I think.

Spent £20 on petrol this morning but other than that nothing.

House a bit of a mess so going to have a quick tidy.

longforthesun

Another shift done :j one more to go then off for 3 :j

House a tip but never mind will sort that on tuesday.

£250 S/O went into savings account but not going to update my sig because I think I need this back in my current account, still need to get a good few things for the kids going back to school and we have a few birthdays this month. Role on Sept should be a low spend month then.

Dinner is something easy and unhealthy hotdogs, spaghetti hoops and toast but kids love it and takes no energy to make :rotfl:

A few weeks back I mentioned our jobs might be at risk, well while I think eventually we will from recent emails at work I think it won't be this year so at least that is a bit of good news and takes the pressure off me from finding a new job although I am still going to apply for anything suitable I see.

Plus I also think I have a cold comming on

longforthesun

I am done in but finished work for 3 days now :j:j:j:j

House is a tip :cool: going to tackle that tomorrow CBA to do anything tonight. Think a takeaway is in order tonight mainly because there is hardly a clean dish or cutlery in the hosue :mad::mad:

Still got a few bits of things to get kids for school so need to organise that this week.

longforthesun

What a week. Weather was the only good thing about it.

Busy with work and getting the kids sorted. Fibro really bad and I think we have paid about £60+ on takeways not to mention the kids school stuff. I am too scared to check the bank:cool:

Anyway a bit more settled today. Stewing beef is in the sc and smells lovely wil have that with mashed potatoes and veg.

Going to meal plan for this week tonight as need to go food shopping tomorrow I really need to stop spending.

Plus side is my washing basket is up to date and the bathroom is clean.

Right off to do a bit more housework and if i feel brave enough i will check the bank.

longforthesun

Still haven't checked the bank :cool:

More spending today. Kids new jackets £60 and then food shopping £59 @ As*a and £34 in Li*l.

Apart from petrol there should be no more spending.

Dinner tonight will be pizza and wedges.

Need to put a washing on but there is not much in the hamper to be done. Need to put the shopping away. Got mince that is dated yesterday but smells fine so going to pop that into the SC and leave it too cook to make spag bol sauce.

Once I have done everything I am going to sit and do the banking and meal plan. I bought plenty of mince, beef and chicken so have loads to work with.

Right best get on.

longforthesun

Have been MIA. Busy busy working and getting the kids back to school.

Thats them been back a week and getting back into the swing of things with homework and after school activity's.

Did check the bank account and :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: but account all square now but unlikley to be able to add to the savings pot this month:(

Road Tax bought yesterday :cool:

Freezer is full of food so trying to eek that out for as long as poss.

OH is hoping to get OT over the next 5 days so fingers crossed for that.

House is fairly tidy but washing basket is a bit full. Weather is pants so no chance to hang it out.
