5 years MFW - Lets get cracking...

HelenDaveKids

Thats really lovely guys and extremely generous as I read all your diaries to boost my own often drooping morale, definitely need to be following NPs alcohol one... Also have just let the side down considerably and been shopping with the girls. I agreed to buy certain things (school stuff, underwear etc) but the girls blew the pocket money book on their own clothes which although is "theirs" still came out my account (ouch!).

Did a grocery shop and petrol so budget currently very much dinted!

Just ordered £16 TCB money and my £5SB. (all amazon vouchers)

dd3 grade 3 clarinet exam and so hopefully she did ok. No music lessons tonight due to exams being all day for the various pupils so thats some money saved!

Lazy day and as my transformer broke on my main laptop I can't do any work... Have ordered new one from eBay.

Kids have friends round and batch cooked dinner and tea. Just swimming lessons tonight so aerobics for me.

Hi HDK, I'm another one who admires you. What with work, studies, kids plus activities don't know how you fit it all in

Hopefully with laptop temporarily out of action, you can chill and recharge your batteries.

Best wishes Tilly x

Me too - I feel I juggle just with parents and the OH!! You guys with kiddies and activities are fantastic- hats off to you!!

HelenDaveKids

Aw thanks Tilly and Val, thats so nice.
Don't think I do anything different from anyone else, we all just muddle along.

Calves killing from aerobics and if they hurt now, they will really hurt tomoz. Last week it was my thighs.

Been spending lots of time on SB and been also reading thread on forum. Some people seem to make loads on it, have read up on the tricks of the trade and so working on that. Theres a few making between £25 - £60 a month!! Im on my second £5 but definitely not speedy at it.

Waiting for FLW as really going to clear utility this time and what doesnt sell needs to go. New postage costs make me very nervous though as have only just got confident with previous pricing. Fetched myself a leaflet when posted parcels on tUesday.

Has everyone checked out which class there in? (bbc - 7 social classes)
Listen to classical music if kids playing it, go to concerts if kids playing in them (dd1 does play for county band so are proper concerts) and go to panto every year, does that count? Do like theatre with the kids/oh but wouldn't go as a couple.

HelenDaveKids

Hi HDK I'm struggling with new postage charges where they have reduced the size of large letter slot and small parcel. I need one of those plastic stencils that they have in the PO for when I'm packing!

Have thought about SB but never joined, may reconsider!
