  • Today has been quite a productive day after all. I've washed 4 loads of washing and got it all dry. The gammon for dinner is cooking in the slow cooker and the house is clean (for now anyway!)

    I am also back on my diet now and determined to succeed this time! I have just over a stone to lose.

    Feeling very positive today. :)
  • I think I may manage a NSD today :T

    We've had ds3's key worker round this morning to fill in more paperwork ahead of his 6 monthly progress report.
    Ds2 has swimming tonight and I managed to save the £80 which was needed to pay this term so I'm really pleased about that. I have £15 in my purse still which I'm hoping will last as long as possible!
  • Evening diary

    Today I've spent £14, £7 was spent on birthday cards and a candle and the rest was spent on cleaning products at the £ shop.

    Tomorrow I nee to buy nappies and a few grocery items after we've been to toddler group, I also need to pop a letter into the council which means I have to pay for parking :mad:

    I've also paid £25 off the debt this weekend, hoping to pay more before payday but just need to wait for the rest of our bills come out as I know I've spent more than I usually do this month.
  • Another £50 to the debt today. :T now done to £825 :j

    Probably try and pay off another £25 before payday so I can round it down to £800.

    So pleased I'm getting there now...........

  • Thanks Lozzy :) I just want it all gone NOW!!

    So today me and my youngest have been to soft play with my friend. It cost £3 entrance which included biscuit and juice for LO, I also bought a cup go tea which was £1.60. So quite a cheap morning out really and most of all ds3 had great fun. :)

    Pay day next Tuesday so I need to work out how much money I have left over to put towards the debt.
    I think we will be staying in this afternoon as ds3 looks like he needs a good sleep after this morning.
  • Evening diary,
    I've paid another £25 off the debt today so it now stands at £800.

    Had a day indoors so I've managed to catch up on all the washing and had a good clean throughout the house. Tomorrow we are going into town to spend the boys vouchers they've had for a while then we are going to have lunch out before we come home which will be nice :)

    Payday on Tuesday and I'm hoping it should be quite a low spend week.

    Ah thank you.

    Thanks. Luckily we dont have a large amount of debt so can still treat the kids to day out etc.

    So today has been a NSD. :)

    We has toddler group this morning then went to a kick theme lark which we have annual passes for, a fab day out and not a penny spent :money: can't ask for better really! :)

    Tomorrow pm we have ds3's home help coming out for a couple of hours. We see her every 2 weeks and ds loves her, his little face is a picture when she turns up.
    Not sure what we are doing in the morning, after a busy day today we might just stay in, we will see in the morning. I like to be out and about so might just pop to the park at least.
    Pay day tomorrow, I'm going to pay another £100 off the debt tomorrow brining it down to £700. :j
