Morning diary
I spent an hour last night putting some bits for sale online, one item has already sold so that's good. It's being picked up this morning. Quiet day in again as little one isn't 100% still, going to list a couple more baby bits we have that aren't being used anymore.
Ds2 has karate after school so that will be £4 spent.0 -
Couple more bits have sold and will be picked up over the weeken

Spent £16 today on termly payment for ds3's music group. I'm also going to treat the boys to a donut from the bakery after school as they have behaved really well and kept their bedroom tidy all week!
Having chilli and rice for dinner tonight then have to get the boys ready for cubs and scouts. Really enjoying the sunshine today, I have managed to wash all the curtains in the house too.
I ordered some new photo frames yesterday and I received an email to tell me they are on their way and should be delivered today, just got to choose some pics to put in then now! Oh and I really need to get my photos from my sd card printed out, hopefully I can take a trip to the supermarket tomorrow whilst I'm put and about and get them done.0 -
Another £50 off the debt today

Wow naughty me, it's been so long since I last posted!
Paid another £50 off the debt and hoping to pay another £100 after payday (tomorrow).
I have managed to keep on top of housework/clutter by doing my daily jobs and setting days to wash bedding, Hoover upstairs etc.
Not much else to report really, just plodding along as usual and trying not to overspend.0 -
Another £50 off the debt today. It was pay day today but I have to wait for dh to transfer another lump into my account on Monday so I can pay the rent for the month, council tax and then see how much I have to play with.
Pleased the debt is steadily coming down though.

Grocery shopping today, my friend has invited me along to aldi this morning and I'm hoping, as I don't have to get lots, I can get what I need in there and see if it works out any cheaper. I've managed to Hoover through the house today, peg the washing out, mop kitchen and lounge. Have the windows open upstairs so the house is smelling fresh.

Tomorrow I'm planning on spending the day sorting the garden. Our garden is rather large which is great for the kids but not so great for me when in needs cutting!

So shopping came to just under £33 and I seemed to get a lot for my money. Definitely go back there again.

So just waiting for kids to come out of school then I will be going home and paying the rent for the next month and also pay council tax. Once those big payments have come out of my bank I can work out what should be left to pay a bit more to the debt. Ds1 has swimming tonight so will be a quick dinner when we get home.0 -
Morning diary,
So rent paid and council tax paid for the month.
My plan for sorting the garden is at a standstill today as it is raining, still I have a few bits to do outside of the house today so will get them done this morning.
Little man is up, bathed, dressed and fed and the 2 big boys were dropped off to breakfast club by hubby. Just need to get my bum into gear to get myself ready! Think I will have a shower whilst little one sleeps this afternoon, I'll just chuck my leggings and a hoodie on for now! (So glam!)
We have parents evening with the boys tonight and we are having our consumer unit changed today so hoping the electric will be back on for dinner this evening.0 -
So another £50 off the debt this morning. :T
Little one and I have been to toddler group this morning, he is now trashing the lounge with mega bloks!!
Anyway spent £25 on petrol this morning and £4.56 on a mini top up shop. I need to go through my freezer/cupboards etc and see if I can put off shopping for a few days. Also spent £22 yesterday on a new cover for the trampoline as ours has ripped from all the bad weather we had.
I really need to start eating better again as I have been naughty lately
going to weigh in every Monday and use fitness pal to help me out. 0 -
Afternoon diary
Don't know why I'm feeling so yuk lately
I constantly have a headache and feel tired all the time, I was in bed at 8.30 last night and didn't wake up until my alarm went off at 6.30. I still feel really tired though, how is that even possible?
Anyway, today will be a NSD. :j I've spent the morning cleaning and changing bed covers and this afternoon we have a friend coming I've with her little boy to play which will be nice.
I must sort through my purse as I have change up throw in our savings jar. Also need to check bank as I haven't looked at it for nearly a week!
