Morning peeps!
Thanks for the congrats, was a bit naughty and ordered a celebratory Domino's, but used a 50% off code! As there were 4 adults and 2 children it came to £36 with the voucher :eek: but it's not a habit we're into and was a treat.
This is me today:
- Checked bank. Now have 52p in there until Tuesday! Only because I have all my cash in my purse
- [STRIKE]Take DD and DNephew to Sunday kids cinema at 11, it said on the website "Price between £1-£4 and one adult free per child"[/STRIKE] £5 for both kids and £1.70 for parking in town!

- Finish all the washing, we had so much I had to get the second airer out!
- Only put one load in the tumble, towels and duvet cover
- Have another look for my P60 around the house
- [STRIKE]B/L/[/STRIKE]D from stores today
- Attempt to get room measurement from OH for one room in new house that needs a new carpet and get quotes re above
- Shop around for cheapest mattress for DD's bed now we've stopped having "accidents"
- Do some more declutttering tonight!
- DNephew and DD playing at home this afternoon

Ill be staying at home having essentially the 3rd lazy day in a row, films for kids as we have no intention of going out in the snow. I've done washing and ironing done yesterday and at the min have an empty washing basket. Todays dinner has been slow cooked over night so ill just make some pancakes or yorkshire puddings to go with it. Hope no more snow as i'd like school to be open in the morning. this weekend as (up to yet) been a no spend weekend
Been there, done that and Ebay'd the t shirt. :beer:0 -
I've been awful this weekend with spending and too ashamed to post up here what I've spent. We get paid on wednesday so am starting again then and going to try to be ever so MSE for April. At least I've now had my hair done so will not need to spend on that in AprilI want to be a writer0
