    I'm having a quiet cuppa whilst everyone else is still asleep so thought I'd do my weekend list now.

    So far:
    • washing hung on line in free sunshine
    • checked banking
    • checked for surveys
    • finished one customer order
    • DH collected DS2 from station whilst in town saving two lots of diesel

    I will also:
    • finish second order and get both into the post today (thank heavens Mr W's Post Office counter is open on Sundays!!)
    • all meals from stores - yes the dreaded BBQ :o
    • go out with friend this evening to see Suzanne Vega - tickets were a Mother's Day present from my gang!
    • have an NSD (postage from business account :D)

    That's a bit of a poor list! Most of my weekend is being spent in the sewing room catching up on all my orders so I'm not getting chance to do anything else. Mind you, it stops me spending I suppose.....

    Have a good Sunday,

    I have got so bad at posting here!

    Yesterday: wet to west wales and wandered around New Quay had dinner out on OH - I had a NSD lol we went to the gym to swim later - was in membership and they didnt charge for the kids and I had a free pass for OH. Popped to my mums she's been altering my wedding dress and it looks fab! she thinks although I paid £50 for it its actually a second of a dress that would be worth around £500 yay

    Today!

    dishes and laundry are on and I have watered tomatoes
    Need to water beans and peas plants are looking great already

    Need to plant some more veg and salad

    more laundry and dishes

    Go swmming - pool was empty yesterday

    clean house - its very messy! we've been out too much in the sun

    I start my masters degree tomorrow ARGH

    Need to do some shopping

    You may remember OH had his ESA stopped at xmas we went to court on Friday and they gsve it back so we are having back pay. Such a relief.

    Have a lovely day all

    Morning All :) More sunshine here today - will keep out of it for the most part as I'm a bit red on my shoulders from spending the day at a park yesterday (despite factor 50 :eek:) Only paid for parking and an ice cream - took picnic with us.

    Have already got one laod in washing machine, just one more to do - drying on line - obviously:D
    Roast lamb that I got on offer for tea - rest of meals from stores
    Try and sort out big pile of clothes and decide which to fleabay and which to go straight to CS (or bin)
    Drop DVD/TV at friends house for her DD
    Post 2 cards for another friend through her door, that I've had for over a week now. Her newborn will be a toddler at this rate if I don't post them :rotfl:
    Get ready for trip to London tomorrow - early start as need to drive an hour first to drop DD off - not ideal, but should be cool early and work can buy me breakfast on the train :D
    Just got loaf out of breadmaker I put on before bed last night, may have to make bacon sarnies for breakfast now.

    Right off to see if my 2 year old has risen from her slumber yet :eek:

    Have a lovely day everyone, enjoy the sunshine if you can ;)

    Raking the lawn. Time to get the weeds out for good instead of chucking down useless weed killers at a cost of £50 a year!

    The biggest change we have recently made is to start doing our food shopping online and it has made a massive difference, I think this morning was our cheapest yet!

    We have always gone every other week and done a 2 week shop and it got to the point where we were spending £140+, we started doing it online and quickly got it down to £100 and for the past month our bill has been under £85 with this morning being £84 which I am quite proud of. Seeing what you are spending as you go along as opposed to just throwing stuff in the trolley and getting a shock at the till is a fantastic perk.

    And to think the first time we done this was because I broke my foot back in February and couldn't drive! A blessing in disguise.

    Other than that having a quite weekend before the month from hell for money saving... Cousins wedding, our wedding anniversary, daughters birthday, fathers day AND wife's birthday all in June... Wish me luck!

    Wash bedding and pop on the landing banister to dry (no washing line :p)
    Check banking
    Head to my aunty's to help with the kids while she packs for her holiday
    Head to my Grandma's for dinner
    Check ¢o-op for whoopsies on the way home, and buy bread to save money on lunches
