  • HI PWD, thanks for your kind post, the tenants have settled in and I hope will stay a while.

    JWIL - thankyou and I hope you and baby are well.

    Mummy - Thankyou hopefully this time I will do it.

    Bella- thankyou for your post.
  • So as it's last day of the school hols for us I have spent the morning making sure uniforms/pe kits are all ready.

    Had a quick lunch, just soup and a sandwich and then darted into Town to pay in a Cheque for OH, nipped into B&M spent £3.80 on coffee and washing up liq.

    Also went into a goldsmiths in town, I have a pair of gold earrings that I received for my 21st, I have never worn them as I always disliked them but kept hold of them because of who they were from and the fact they were a present, I found them the other day and decided it was stupid to have something of small value never worn just sat in a box in a drawer, so I tok them into the goldsmiths and sold them for £46 and the sky hasn't fallen down and I don't feel bad about it, in fact I've felt worse when I've sold items on ebay and they have sold for stupidly low amounts. So I need to add that to the challenge amount.

    Tea tonight is a frugal one scrambled eggs on toast.

    Off to finish washing up from lunch and do the ironing.

  • Thankyou Bella.

    Kids have been fed, going to go and send them for showers, sort out bags into car and put out uniform.
    Told them tonight its bed at 7 and lights out at 7.30 need to get back into the school routine.
  • Back to school and work today :(, I have really enjoyed the last 2 weeks off just pottering around the house and spending time with the kids.

    Today will be a spend day, I need petrol and school dinners need paying for.

    Packed lunches for today are made and I have everything I need in for tea tonight (cheesy potato bake), most do some baking when I get back from work.

    Better go and get showered and wake the kids up.

    Morning pwps Hope work goes well :)

    On the plus side if you get petrol from one of the supermarkets they've dropped there prices as of today so that should save you a bit of money, not some good for me as I got petrol yesterday oh well maybe prices will stay lower for a while.

    Your cheesy potato bake sounds yummy.

    Take care have a good day x

  • Evening.

    Had a good couple of days at work, nice to be back and back into a routine.

    Spends over the last couple of days have been £25 on car fuel, £24.80 on grocery shopping and £4 on school dinners.
