Run 2 of week 4 completed last night - I really ache this morning.
DD2s baking session yesterday went a bit wrong - she found the recipes she wanted, I gave her £10 to buy ingredients, she spent the lot, and bought seets etc as well! Then she insisted they could do it themselves and burnt the cookies onto 2 baking sheets which I had to throw away:mad:. Still they had a good time.
DD1 is at work with me today and for the next 2 days. She's earning money and I'd rather that than her sitting at home on 'faceache' and watching tv.Re-mortgaged 20/04/12 MTiT-T3 No.7Start balance £89611.10 + £22500 = £112111.10/Current balance £85436.53

Thanks Froggy!
2nd job payday today as it was a bigger one as I was covering holiday last week. £130 moved to windows fund & £28 for a playsuit for DD1.
Her bedroom is painted and woodwork stained - going to have a go tonight at what DH calls 'nailing up the wallpaper'!
Did run 3 of week 4 last night, think I'm going to be stuck at this level for a while as the next level seems a huge jump as I'm still struggling here.Re-mortgaged 20/04/12 MTiT-T3 No.7Start balance £89611.10 + £22500 = £112111.10/Current balance £85436.53

£1.13 received from £co and OPd.
Online food shop done - £65, £10 withdrawn in cash towards camping trip this weekend, along with another £55.
Off camping this weekend with friends who have a daughter the same age as DD2, and taking a friend of DD1 so she's not left out. It's rained this morning but sun is trying to come out now - hopefully it'll stay out. Nothing worse than camping in the rain. We're going to a farm park so there's plenty to occupy the kids.
Managed to wallpaper DD1s room last night - not bad for a first attempt - pretty chuffed with myself.Re-mortgaged 20/04/12 MTiT-T3 No.7Start balance £89611.10 + £22500 = £112111.10/Current balance £85436.53

Thanks Shala-moo.
Camping weekend was great fun, but we're all absolutely shattered.
Had my new cream logburner fitted yesterday and it's looks fab - so pleased. Need to list the big black beastly one on fleabay.
Spent £36.50 on school uniform etc for DD2 yesterday, will need to come from 2nd job payday this week which should be quite large as I covered holiday again last week. Also have N£xt bill to pay of £37.50.
Went to gym last night and did an extra (4th) run of week 4, I'm a bit scared of moving up to week 5 as it seems quite a big jump. From a total of 16mins running to 26!Re-mortgaged 20/04/12 MTiT-T3 No.7Start balance £89611.10 + £22500 = £112111.10/Current balance £85436.53
