Hiya Lula. Think Ill struggle sleeping tonight due to sleeping till noon. Bit like night shifts when you have to really gauge how much sleep to have without ruining that nights sleep but was really tired.

Absolutely hate suitcases around once have been and like to return to work knowing its done. Love knowing its all sorted and back to normal. Working fri and sat then all next week as job share now on hols so if didn't sort would be around for weeks!

437 emails later.... Took 12 hours to clear my inbox. My boss is off as well as my jobshare so generally kept busy.

Work today but just a short shift (8-4)

Cleared my own in box too, done my surveys, ad points and a few reviews.

Just need to sort out DH's car insurance, already done a search and looks like should be able to halve the renewal quote.

Don't worry, am now very relaxed, have just watched a film with the kids & DH and now have a large glass of wine in my hand!

Got my NW cheque for changing deal online (£100) although paid into emergency fund as very depleted.

Also cashed in some TCB for Amazon vouchers. 2 more "Christmas stocking fillers" packages arrived today. Recorded in Christmas book and popped on top of wardrobe.

New credit card definitely getting some hammer, august feels far more expensive than Christmas, what with new summer clothes as well as school clothes for the girls and holiday costs.

Hiya NP.

Pay day Friday (early as falls on BH Monday). Already lining up my OP's... Still have school stuff to get and quite significantly overspent in July.

Had long hard day at work and an hour late home for the 3rd time since got home from hols. Have extra shift on sunday so be a longgg week too.

doo yoo down but managed some sb surveys enough to cash in.

dd3 sleeping at mates, dh at work till 12/1ish so watching a chick flick with dd1 and 2, unfortunately their film choice (hence here)

Can't decide whether it was a good day or not, but it did start badly and improve so i'll go with good. Have worked long days consistently since got home due to mini work disasters, working sunday so off today however spent first hour sorting staffing problems whilst ironing. Washing etc done, drove to Lidl and went to close electric windows but passenger side stuck in the downward position. Had to drive home and swap into DH car as was supposed to be shopping after BF's for lunch. Having seen BF for 3 weeks due to hols and work so great to catch up. She's bought new house and moved in 2 weeks ago following break up with partner so lots to catch up (has been going on months but haven't seen since week before move planned). Then Matalan for school trousers / blouses, just before left house, post lady came and delivered a 20 % off voucher, saved me £20.50. Also nipped to FF and spent over £50 so got £5 off with voucher then a HB visit for pencil case type bits.

feel a bit guilty as girls been at mums all week and today dragged them shopping and friends (although they get on with her children so that's not a problem)

Got home, dd3 did tea whilst I ironed what was on line (left ironing board out which was v slovenly but its done now. Still have 3rd load on line (even more slovenly) but still wet.

feel very good but guilty as 2nd job offered me overtime and I will have worked 55+ hours this week and I actually said sorry but no, however if desperate will do a twilight next week.

Couldn't decide whether could be bothered to do Zumba but literally forced self and as always was great fun.

Bath time and now having a sneaky glass of wine.


DH spent evening trying to mend window but unable, bringing big guns in tomoz as my dads going to take a look if not will have to book into garage. fortunately dh car is available as he now has works van, so will borrow that.

:j:jpay day:j:jand very early as we get paid 26th but earlier if lands on a bh or weekend.

Let the money shuffle commence.. have set my transfers for 1st but feel its that special update signature time as money is lined up and ready to go. oooo do love signature update moment.

Usually try and save a bit but due to holiday spending money taken from current account rather than savings and the whole school uniform thing I am significantly overspent so Im going to be kind to myself...

Have entered my MFi3 update. Will be full time (+) till March so my aim is to really go for it till then. So my interim goal is be under 50k by the end of the year.
