Thanks dfw321, you are right, i am not in more debt but have shifted it all about in 18 months !!! Now is the time to start clearing it.

Had an expensive few days, lots to pay out with the DC, uniforms for the new school year, end of school shows, outstanding sponsor money. They are all shattered too, so roll on Friday when they can finish & relax.

I need to buy summer clothes as we are off in the search of sun in August, it will only need to be shorts & vests etc (i hope) so will hit the sales once pay day has arrived.

Have compiled a meal planner for the week & had an on line shop delivered, so intend to avoid a nip to the supermarket like the plague

LSD today few bits & pieces bought, teachers presents (chocs) kind of annoyed having to buy pressies as although they do a good job, it is still a PAID job and not everyone in their line of work gets gifts. Felt pressurised to buy as all other kids had bought a little gift.

Meal planner is going well, am still nipping into Sainsburys, need to change my route home from work/school run, to avoid the temptation to pop in

I made cakes for all the kids & teachers instead of buying chocs as i also felt pressurised and had zilcho money lol. I've no flour, sugar or butter left now though lol so would have probably worked out cheaper to get the chocs

:j No school run for 6 weeks :j

Bought a top back to Matalan today, i bought it last week on a whim and knew i never really wanted it, so £12 back in my purse

Walked the dog for almost an hour this afternoon, relishing in the fact that it is not raining, not yet July weather but fingers crossed it is arund the corner (according to the forecast)

Sweet & Sour stir fry for tea, it is a Jamie Oliver recipe and very flavoursome, especially when served with a cold glass.....bottle of Chardonay :laugh: Well, it is the school hols !!!!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: This is also my mantra of the day. I have to keep reminding myself i don't need the wine that keeps popping into my thoughts :rotfl:

How's the NSD's going?

mummychicken

The NSDs are going ok(ish), more LSDs but better than spend, spend, spend. I am buying some cr*p today, 2 water guns for the DC, (pleeeeeease mummy !!) but they were reduced in Tesco, and kept them amused in the garden this afternoon whilst i cleaned the house

The meal planner is the best thing i have sorted, i am sticking to it & spending little on food in between.

If i do not write again, it is because i am one of the lucky 100 millionaires on the Lotto tonight !!!!! :T
