  • Been back from work for a while now. Weather is horrible so I am glad to be in the house with the heating on.

    Have a load in the machine and a pot of HM soup on. Have so far not spent any money so should be a NSD.

    Need to give the livign room a quick hoover and my bedroom a quick tidy but other than that the house is looking ok.

  • Have woken with a headache and I am sore all over :( so I am going to call in sick :eek: which I hate doing but I think it is the atmosphere in work that is making me ill.

    Not happy at being up at this time though. So sitting here with a hot water bottle (saves me putting the heating on) and a glass of OJ.

    Nothing on the telly so surfing the net. Plan to tackle a few jobs round the house today (if my headache lifts) and try to stay out of my bed lol

    Wind his howling outside but going to try and keep the heating off as much as I can today.

    I now dinner tonight will be meatballs, pasta and garlic bread so nice and easy for me.

    I do need to get a few items listed above, OH will pick them up though when he does the school run. So wont be a NSD :(

  • Well calling in sick went down like a lead balloon :cool: but who cares?

    So have not done much. A few washings and a quick hoover. Dinner has been had and I also made a lasagne so saves me cooking tomorrow. Planning on having another lazy day tomorrow,

    Feeling very sleepy at the moment but don't want to sleep as I will just end up awake at 4am again.

    Got to pick DD up from her friends at 8pm, too wild to get her to walk. Once the kids are in bed I will have a bath I think then do my nails. OH is on lates so will try and stay up till he is home.

  • Feeling a good bit better today but still calling in sick today.

    Didn't have a bath or do my nails last night and fell asleep just after 9pm and woke at 5am but managed to fall back over before the alarm went off at 7.30am.

    Weather looks much better today :j still got a mountain of washing to do. Need to pop to the shops later as relised kids don't have much for snacks at playtime and after school activitys.

    Dinner is chicken stirfry so will get prawn crackers when I am out yum yum looking forward to dinner already and I haven't had my breakfast :rotfl:

    OH is doing the school run and then doing a breakfast run to McD's, naughty I know but I think he is feeling sorry for me with the lack of sleep etc. Lunch will ham and cheese baquette.

    Right off to get a load in the machine.

  • Weather is not nice today.

    Day off tomorrow but working tues/wed/thur this week.

    have stripped 2 beds today one is in the TD and the other in the WM. Washing basket is over flowing AGAIN :mad:

    Been shopping spent £21 in As*a and £31 in Li*l. Trying v v hard to stick to my busget this month. We have been lax recently and just spending as and when but if I don't have a salary comming in then we need to stick to a budget so as we do not dip into our savings.

  • Off to work in a moment.

    Sun is shinning at the moment. I have put a washing on but will TD it later as I think it might rain while I am at work.

    Budget is going ok, although it has only been going for 3 days lol.

    Dinner will be mince and potatoes and beans.

    Right best get going.

  • Been busy few days. Was sticking really well to budget but have gone a bit off track. Bought some birthday presents for DD.

    Gas and Elec spend has been £90 in total and hopefully this will last the month.

    Just topped up DD's phone with £5.

    Need to update the rest of my spends and see how much I have gone off track. :cool:

    Dinner was steak pie :)

    £6 on lunch
    £9.00 on Parking :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
