Challenged DD1 to do the food shopping online this week - she managed it under budget - £68, but made a few mistakes with offers going out of date, could've been about £4 less. Still she did well.

Managed to put up blind and curtains in DD1s bedroom. Her handmade curtains she made almost by herself look absolutely fab - she's so chuffed with herself. Also attached bookcase to wall so she can start loading it up.

DH has gone down to London this morning to collect some goods for work he bought on £bay. Right in the centre close to Houses of Parliament and his satnav stopped working! Had to direct him in with google maps from home, only every road I tried to send him down was 1way or pedestrian - Great fun!

Planning to make up her double loft bed when he gets back, it's all laid out and I've read the instructions.

If weather cheers up tomorrow planning to go and see the jousting at Warwick Castle with merlin passes.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Well done DD1 :T

Jousting sounds fun - hope the weather clears up for you

Hi megala, just wanted to congratulate you on getting under £100k fantastic :T

megela

Thanks Newgirly

£3.13 OPd from £co.

Holiday tickets have arrived! & spent £267 on euros. I also have £500 saved up for onboard, but really don't like the idea on spending on a cruise card and settling up at the end - I prefer to know exactly how much we've spent. I know I shall worry about it all holiday.

Well done DD1 :T

Thanks MWC - even better when she made them from a £10 duvet cover & £12 lining material. She's making cushions & bunting from the pillowcases & leftovers.

Must feel great reaching the under £100,000 mile stone, well done

Thanks Streethack - it's been lovely having so many visitors this weekend.
Just reached payout on 1poll :j. 3rd time this year.
Lovely day out yesterday, but so busy. Glad we didnt pay the £69 for day entry, as you'd have struggled to see very much. We watched the jousting twice and the trebuchet being launched. had lunch there £18 & an icecream £7.50, parking was £6. But it was nice to spent the day out with the girls.

Didn't take too long to put DD1s bed together, but we need to somehow take 3-4" off the legs as she can't sit up in bed! It'll have to wait until we've been on holiday though. Need to go today to buy a double fitted sheet and duvet.

2nd job payday today - all left in current account to pay for £40 spent in *$da & £10 in Dunh£lm on Monday. Along with £15 cash witthdrawn today, this will leave current account at -£3.26 for end of month.

More important news though - my 14yo DD passed her double science GCSE - so proud of her :T(and it'll cost me £55 for the pandora bracelet I promised her!)

Well done to your DD - that's fabulous.

Once she has her Pandora Bracelet there are some nice charms you can get, but there is another company that I have had a couple of charms off and they have a good selection and are much cheaper (about £8-£15 each). If you want the details, I can send them to you.
