    hello :)

    been quiet havent i!

    spare room is all finished and looks so nice :)
    hall stairs & landing are finished and look great.
    Twinklets room is having the wall paper done on saturday and then that is all finished too. then that is upstairs...DONE!

    this weekend is hould be able to keep spending down to a minimum. i dont plan on goign anywhere or doing anything so should be a very cheap weekend for me. need to buy a bottle of wine for my friend who is doing the papering as a thankyou...but other than that no planned spends.

    payday in 2 weeks. have added a little bit more to savings to bump it up a little bit. only £15 extra but it all helps. still got £200 til pay day so i should be good to hope fully put a few more pounds into the savings as next weeked i have my mum and gran coming over & thats it. i did splash out this week though and have a pedicure..only because the stress of trying to paint my toe nails was too much!

    i am waiting for the npower bill to come through anyday. i've paid a little bit extra each month to try and make sure the payments dont go up so hopefully the hit wont be too hard.

    ooo npower bill come through & dd reduced by £11 :D go me! i guess its a combination of the over payment & the lodger moving out, but as he's only been gone 1 month i doubt that he made that much difference to the payemnt reduction. still.. it all helps :)
