Morning.

Still plodding on, have woke up with a really sore throat and banging head, have taken some paracetamol and some mukti vitamins, fingers crossed it doesn't get any worse.

Small spend yesterday in Tesco, lots of reduced bread, mince beef and cooked chicken breast, spent £10ish can't find receipt at the minute.

Off to sainsbugs in a while, have £40 in cash and £15 worth of nectar points, thanfully I get paid on Friday so will do a big Aldi shop next week.

Have received a payment of £25 from survey company into bank, still waiting on voucher from valued opinions, also redeemed £3 from mysurv£y should get that some time next week.

Tea tonight will be HM meatballs and pasta, need to do some baking as we have no cakes or biscuits.

Oh kids brought home another letter yesterday from school, school trip and they want £7 each :mad:.

Jazee

Penny, hope you feel better soon. And you've reminded me I need to bake a cake.

please-let-me-be-lucky

I'm sure we all pass bugs on through these diaries! I'm just getting over tonsillitis, hope you haven't caught it too. Get well soon Xx

Pasta a go go in house too, home made ravioli!

Sorry to hear you're feeling unwell, hope you can get a bit of rest after all the baking x

Hope the extra payments won't take too long to come through this time and you can add to your debt busting.

Morning, thanks for your kind wishes, still feeling slightly blurgh but not as bad as yesterday, so I'm off to work as it's only a half day.

Spends in sainsbugs came to £32.72 after I'd used £15 of nectar points, did forget teabags, hope I can eek them out until Friday.

Sold one item over the weekend on £bay, only £2.65 but it's another item gone and a few more pounds added to the pot.

Nipped into garage this morning, it has frozen hard during the night, looks as though winter is here, I need to go shopping for thermals for the kids at the weekend, think aldi might have them at the minute so will have a look there first before going to mountain warehouse.

Better go and make packed lunches and wake the kids.

PWPS.x.

Glad you're feeling a bit better today, I had it last week that *bleurgh* feeling and it's not nice!

My DS1 has come home with 3 forms for trips in as many weeks. One is £300 for 5 days in wales :eek:!! One was for *hmm forget where now* and costing £180 and the other was free (thank god) they are doing payment plans and the deposits for the 2 had to be in within the week they were handed out (right in the middle of the month grr so no time to add to the next month's budget) and totalled £70! I've got another payment due on the 18th December !!! For £50!! So I well understand your ranting at it! I'm joining in! My ds1 works so hard though and was invited on 2 because of the effort he'd put in and the grades he'd achieved so I felt awful saying no. Anyway rant over (sorry for that ) I hope you all have a good day

Hope work goes OK today.

Definitely a chill in the sir, Ald* are so good for their extra products I've brought gloves, running kit, a slow cooker and some other bits and pieces over the last few years.

That was a good result in 'burys, bet in was lovely seeing the total going down as each voucher was used!

Have a good day, C x

DFW - I'm going to stop moaning about the letters from my children's school and be thankful I havn't had any for 100s of pounds, I bet you are thankful you are debt free and can budget for them?

Chrysalis - I love ald!, they have some fantastic bargains.

Rags - feeling much better thanks, hope it's not too cold your way.
