    Morning:)

    Had a lovely weekend with bf and DD. DS's are all away for the weekend and its just been us three. Yesterday we took DD to a farm and she got to look at the animals and she held a guinea pig. Lat night we watched a film and had some yellow stickered treats:)

    Today I am taking all the kids up to visit my mum as it is her 60th birthday. My sister is doing lunch for everyone so free lunch for us:D

    No studying done this weekend...will get back to it from tomorrow, DS3 is on inset so won't get much done, mainly revision this week as exam in 8 days:eek:

    Banking all checked and looking as should. Main lot of bills go out next week, a general tidy up of account and then a payment to BNPL:)

    Have a lovely sunday x

    Morning,

    Off to college this morning, last lesson before exam. Still managed to get some study done yesterday even though DS3 was on inset day. From today I will only be concentrating on revision, I will get a little behind on other two courses but I am sure I will be able to catch up from next wednesday.

    Food is lasting well, but I will need to pick up milk and fruit today as have almost run out of both. That massive food shop lasted me well, I still have plenty of meat left, probably enough to stretch another two weeks:) Still, only three days left in the month and I have quite a few pennies left, even with what I will have to buy today:)

    Parents evening tomorrow night for both DS2 and DD, bf is coming over to look after kids for me so I can go.

    Have managed to get quite a few bits for DD party now, slowly ticking things of the list:)

    Off for a browse and to have another cuppa before kids get up x

    Morning:)

    Last two days in the month and I still have some money left in food purse, not that much but will be putting it in a separate pot as will be starting a fresh month from Friday.

    Banking checked, last few direct debits due out tomorrow, account should then be back to zero.

    Plans for today:

    - studying this morning
    - get another wash on line if it stays dry
    - walk to school and save some petrol
    - make a lasagne or kebab for dinner not sure which yet, the other will have tomorrow
    - nip into town to council office drop a letter off
    - parents evening x 2 tonight
    - take over birthday card to friends little boy as 1st birthday

    If I have time will try and get a little housework done:)

    Have a good day x

    Morning all

    Had a lovely parents evening for both DD and DS2, both doing really well so very proud:)

    Manic day yesterday, but got loads done for DD party. Getting there now, just the few last things to sort, am picking up her cake and baloons on friday which is her actual birthday, she is very excited now.

    Little behind on the washing so hoping for a dry breezy day so I can get it on the line.

    Studywise, still a little behind as revision is the order of the week, but will be getting my head in the books this morning.

    First of the month, so bank account checked and at zero which is what it should be. Lots to pay out this month, so going to have to be very careful with the cash. Both DD, DS1 and my sisters birthday, shortly followed by my 40th, grandsons 1st birthday and DS3 birthday in first week of April:eek:

    Will be aiming to have a chilled out weekend round the house catching up on jobs that need doing and relaxing before exam on monday.

    Have a great day x

    Hello Jamie, the school news and your studying sounds really good, and I had no idea you were a Grandma. How lovely.
  • morning jamie

    hope the maths exam went well and you can now get back to your other studies.

    you sound a bit like me with children with a wide range of ages so i have my dd at primary school and have older ones working and grandchildren

    have a great day

    Hi all,

    been missing in action for a bit oops.

    Bad news last weekend, DLA have decided my son no longer needs his mobility car (!!!!!!) so it goes in 4 weeks, frantically trying to sort something out as we cannot be without transport. I am also appealing but it can take up to 3 months!!!

    Exam went well i think, results will be in in may sometime.

    DD party went down a storm, 9 little Divas all had a fan time:)

    So behind on studies because of dla and council re bedroom tax and appeals for both. Will be taking kids to school then coming home to bury head in books. DBf birthday today, so he is coming round later and I am cooking him a roast for dinner tonight.

    Its snowing outside so fingers crossed they dont close the schools.

    Take care all x
