My motivation!

Stitch2012

HAW that's what's I was thinking , coming in three. Sadly the third did not occur lol.

My mom always asks for it, suppose if that's what she wants that's what she gets. She's not someone who likes stuff, she buys stuff but can't bear to wear it so will give it away. She likes her moisturisers though, I have some vouchers for no 7, so that will come in handy. We tend to go out for her birthday too, but I always give her a gift as well, it's my nieces birthday a few days after so it's a double celebration.Need to get her present too, she's asked for a doll but my dad is taking her on holiday soon on a long haul flight so undecided between that or a portable DVD player. Figured at least afterwards with the DVD player she can use it in the car or her brother can use it since they don't have a tv in their rooms.

Sales to date

eBay sales £32
Fb sales £48

So currently £80/£250 target. I think I prefer fb sales, will concentrate on those instead.

I was due to go food shopping a few days ago but we made the food stretch so that last food shop has nearly lasted us 2 weeks. Total cost today £72 in morrisons and £15 in co op, but there were some very good deals in there.

Another £15 in fb sales to report today, had my driving lesson today he was really good with me considering last week.
I offered him the money for last lesson but he wouldn't take it which was really kind of him.

Need to book my theory test but keep putting it off, really dreading it everyone says its easy , really should just do it lol.

Why do you keep putting it off? If you've read the book and so on, it should be straight forward. Go for it

Well done on the sales too

I had the book but my sister took it off me when she did hers, haven't had it back just rely on the disc and taking mock tests.. Think I will book it this Friday will need to book It for a weekend as I can't get any childcare in the week.plus I have an impending fear of failure lol that's probably why.

HeadAboveWater

Don't think you're gonna fail before you've even sat the test!! You gotta go in with a positive attitude, and think 'I want this. Yeah. I can do this. I'm gonna pass!'

The mock ones online are good.
Practice the hazard perception.
My DS failed on that first time but passed second time.

Stitch2012

Just booked it, a month away!
Going to practise when little one is asleep everyday, and another one at night when it's calmer.
Going to pay £125 off my next card on Friday, that's half way towards my target, about £13 in fb sales as well. Also brought the bulk of oldests daughters birthday presents in the Disney store using those codes on the grabbit, so that saved me some money. Just two more items and shall be sorted.

Found out niece isn't going on holiday with my dad anymore as he can't get the time off work, so will get her the doll she asked for and get my moms cream too.

I know we're going to be okay but I can't help feeling a bit uneasy these next four months are so expensive. I also had to shell out £65 today for my graduation, there's another £44 for gown hire, plus the photos, plus nice outfit for me and my girls for the photographs. My mom has offered to pay but I don't want to take it from her, cos she paid for my sisters graduation as well.

I checked my elec/ gas account currently we are about £263 in credit but then I haven't submitted a meter reading in a while so this may probably go down.

But on the plus I have £200 coming from park vouchers soon that can go towards presents ect. X

Gosh haven't updated this in a few days, nothing much to report youngest has had a nasty cold over the last few days so been keeping her nice and warm. Have already started putting the heating on, the youngest tosses and turns a hell of a lot, so thinking of ways to keep her warm. I'm thinking about insulating the bed with a duvet on top of her mattress and then using her normal blankets. This is what I do for my oldest and her bed is ever so cosy.

No more sales to report, waiting for my next statement before I see how much to pay off.

My mom has given me £100 towards my graduation, felt a bit bad but really appreciated it.

Have a driving lesson today and off to do a food shop in a minute hopefully won't be too much, this is the hardest week in the month because husband doesn't get paid till Friday.and all the bills seem to come out this week! X

Stitch2012

Well the weather has been absolutely awful, makes me motivated to pass my test. Having been practising a lot and passing so will keep practising.

Yesterday we spent £55 at morrisons, however £5 of that was on various birthday cards, but we have more than enough food for the week, we had a lovely lamb hot pot yestday and having pasta and meatballs tonight.

Next statement was due today but still not showing on the website, so having a little bit of a break money making.
