Well done on hitting 2 targets, that's great.

Our dig's the same re the hallway - it's just too warm from them. I think we'll get paddling pool and kids and dog can have water fight to cool them all down (if the weather stays).

Enjoy your weekend xx

Thanks debtfree2012, My kids have had a few waterfights, DS is struggling with the heat and is on the grumpy side, we have been sat inside making model aeroplanes as he doesn't want to go out which is so unlike him.

It affects them differently each day doesn't it - esp if tired etc. I was worn out last night when I got in - not tired, just zero energy so I know how he fees chin up x

Morning, not much to update really, no change in banking I have £3.74 in my current account to lat until I get paid on Thursday:eek:.

Have spent the morning cleaning the downstairs of the house, cleaned out and relaid stove, washed walls and skirting boards, I seem to have another pile of ironing today, I will do that later this evening once it has cooled slightly it's too warm at the minute to start ironing.

I'm hoping chickens lay me a few eggs later so I can make a quiche for tea.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.x.

Good morning, weather feels much cooler today do think we are going to have some rain so uming and arring about doing more washing.

DH got back safely from boys weekend camping, I think he spent around £10 in total.

3 days until payday so we are spending time at home, we will take dogs for a walk later and then DD needs to go poo pick field before she is allowed to go riding, not sure what we are doing tomorrow maybe a baking a DVD day depending on weather and Wednesday we are going ge0caching.

All food is from stores for the next 3 days today we have had toast and jam for brekkie, Ds has also had some pineapple which seems to be his new fruit obsession he goes through stages of only eating certain types of friut and at the minute it's pineapple, it was red grapes which now he doesn't seem to be touching, lunch will be sandwiches and HM cake and tea tonight is garlic chicken, couscous and salad with ice cream and fruit for pud.
Tomorrow we are supposed to be having HM quiche for tea but may need to change this as chickens seem to have gone on strike in the hot weather and we are only getting 1 or 2 eggs a day from 10 chickens :mad:.

With DH being away I have managed to do Augusts budget and next weeks meal plan including shopping list, I'm not setting myself any major goals for August with it being the school hols and the kids being off I just want to get through the month without using CCs, I've set a budget of £70 a week for food, I've reduced petrol down to £15 a week and given myself a budget of £25 a week to entertain children.

As i'm at home for the next 6 weeks I'm going to try and get the house in some sort of order, declutter and put anything not needed on ebay, yesterday I sorted out DD clothes and put a couple of bits to one side for ebay, couple of bits for charity and sadly a few bits of uniform went in the bin as DD has managed to get paint/glue down them and I couldn't get it out:mad:.

I'm also going to try and keep on top of surveys and do as many as possible, but I've decided that I'm not doing t0luna ones anymore, I'm sick of having to chase them for payment, vouchers are never sent out in the time frame stated and I always have to email and chase them up, I'm currently waiting for a voucher I ordered in may so once that arrives I will cose my account with them.

Hope everyone is ok and sorry for the long post.x.

Morning

We're living similar lives it seems!

We spent this weekend doing a lot of caches - we've found 6 now since we started a week ago LOL. Fantastic and free.

Shame the uniform had to go in the bin, we have the same in our house. I busy deciding what DS can use of DD's when he starts in Sept.

I'm almost there with Swags and feel like putting the first payment in a frame, it's taking that long to get it!
Our chooks also have reduced laying but i can't blame them in this heat! Enjoy your day x

Hi debtfree2012 we have only found 2 so far, but are going to have proper afternoon of it on Wednesday,I think it's going to get quite addictive.It was DD skirts that were marked, annoyed because i could have sold them on ebay, at least her jumpers and polo shirts were ok, they have all been washed and ironed and hung in DS wardrobe just need to buy him a couple of pairs of trousers and shoes now.

You can double up t£sco vouchers on uniform if you're not using them on days out (and actually use t£sco )

Thanks debtfree2012, I will be lucky to get £1 in tesco vouchers this time, I don't shop there that much I tend to shop in sainsburys and aldi.
