Comments
-
Hello all!
Today is a NSD for me, except for the obligatory PAD
Already I have:
* checked banks
* balanced spending tracker
* paid my obligatory PAD to Santander of £3.76 from rounding down the bank account
* brought breakfast from home (crumpets! Nom...)
* having leftovers for lunch as I type
* generated 5 sales for my second job :T
* promoted offers available for my second job
to hopefully lead to more sales!
Still to do:
* go for a swim, sauna & jacuzzi after work
* enjoy anniversary meal cooked by hubby
* make most of free tea & coffee at work
* charge phone at work
Have a truly lovely day all

Afternoon. Well i spent a bit but dont think i did too badly.
Spent £4.65 in Costa for me & kids, its usually nearer £8-9 :eek:
Then i spent £12 in poundland. Got 2 presents, 1 pack of sweets for kids to share, 1 pack of juice again for kids, got them a foam plane each to keep them occupied during said trip and the rest was things i needed (parcel wrap/batteries etcetc)
Spent £10.97 in Hobbycraft. £4.50 on Xmas present for DD and the rest on 2 FQ of Xmas fabric and pink thread (i ran out last week)
Im sure shopping will be cheaper when DD is at school in 3 weeks lol
Since getting back ive tidied up all the toys, the kitchen sides are nearly done, dishwasher is on an eco wash, washing is on quick wash (unfortunately dryer on, wish my airer was up) and ive used up the bread before we go on a whole9 as a family tomorrow - http://whole9life.com/

Got my wee car back!! Missed it while it was in, but now it has shiny new tyres and he only charged me £99, after quoting me £110 yesterday. He ended up getting a cheaper deal on the tyres than he thought XD
Thanks mum for paying, lol! Might be going in next week for new brake discs and pads too.0
