  • hey mand :) i'm the complete opposite of organised :p honest! It's maybe an organised chaos ;) as they like to say haha!

    Well tonight hubby has taken the groupon ticket and gone to watch a film at cinema. I've listed some more stuff on pre-loved and gumtree & fb! Hoping to sell it all very soon :) want money to go into savings and i'm making room for the kids new toys next month ;) (both birthdays are in July!)

    House is nice and quiet too, so may go watch t.v in peace for a little while!

    Hope everyone is having a lovely evening x

    :rotfl: enrol him in an army training day :rotfl:

  • Well my DD came home from nursery today with a picture of all her family and what they like doing...apparently i am a butterfly :A her dad buys ice-creams from ice cream vans, she is a princess, her older brother is an astronaut and her younger brother is an escape artist.....she drew him climbing over fences :rotfl: she had him down to a tee huh!

    Well yesterday I made my £18 and then i went and spent £25 on a play kitchen for the kids :o oops! So my bank account stands at 10p. Yup that's right TEN PENCE :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I also placed an order to tesco the other day as they had a pricing error ;) but my order was cancelled so i should be due back £10 at least (at some point!)

    I'm in a particularly foul mood today. I NEED chocolate. I'm on a diet though. Husband is driving me mad. Thankfully he goes tomorrow. I got no sleep last night. I woke up to dd one side of me star fish like, and ds2 the other side laid horizontally across me. And the dog on my body. :mad: so 3 beds were empty last night and every one was laid on or across mum!!!! grr! so kids are in a mood as they're tired. I'm in a mood as i want peace. and sleep :(

    Might check my pp balance in a bit i think their might be some money in there. Shepherd's pie for dinner. Have run out of salad but spent all the spare money i had on a toy :D so will have to do without. I'm also debating whether to spend the spare change jar money on chocolate. Needs must and all............:D
