    How was Ikea :D xx

    It was good thanks :) I have fallen in love with a kitchen there, and some wardrobes lol, mine and OH bedroom is desperate to be redecorated and needs wardrobes so that is my aim this year.

    We've built the units that we bought there, so am just tweaking the kids storage/toys downstairs as my daughter now has space in her room for her Sylvanian Families house.

    I ended up moving my daughters room all around yesterday and I love how it is now :) she isn't sure as her bed is a different way and when I went to check on her before bed last night she was lying sideways on her bed, she must be having issues with sleeping a different direction to what she is used to lol :rotfl:

    Just finishing up a big declutter me and OH did yesterday, the car was jam packed when he took it to the tip

    I am feeling so positive about 2017 :)

    OH's 3D printer that he ordered came today so he's super happy right now lol

    I've booked my train tickets for London in march, way more than I wanted to pay/am used to paying but at least it's done.

    I have just done my online shop and if everything is the same price when it is delivered I should have £10.50 to overpay this week. I owe mam some money for panto tickets and some shopping, I will nag her this weekend to work out what I owe her so I can pay her back, as then I will know how much I have for a big over payment this month

    I hope everyone is having a good day xx

    A@DA just been, I have just overpaid the Tesco card with the spare of £10.62.

    I'm so tired today and I don't know why, a chill out ish day required here I think, I still need to sort out some of the toys that the kids got for Christmas.

    Need to change the bedding as we all still have our Christmas bedding on, will get OH to help with that, I hate changing the double bedding on my own lol

    DS is back at swimming (they were off for two weeks at Christmas), I need to ask about getting DD on the waiting list, I want her to start lessons once she is 4 in April.

    I'm gonna do a to do list now (I have to do one or I end up forgetting half the things I wanna do lol)

    I got some knitting looms for Christmas so need to finish off the hat I am doing as well

    Have a good day all xx

    Morning all,

    How is everyone doing? Got much planned today?

    I really need to get back into the surveys (especially as I was one of the lucky ones that got points/money for each survey), I've just this second put it on my to do list. I need to do it lol

    We are just doing some odd tidying jobs round the house today

    I am not looking forward to work tomorrow (probably won't sleep tonight) I've been off work since 22nd December and OH has since 20th December, so we've both been off ages!

    Have a good day all xx

    Morning all,

    How is everyone doing?

    @sda came yesterday so I made the shopping overpayment to the te$co credit card of £15.13.

    I decided against a big overpayment to the card this month as we needed it for a shelving unit for DD for her bedroom, and one for downstairs for OH's 3D printer to go on, and a computer chair for the kids (they were using OH's old one but it was giant lol)

    So big overpayments will resume in feb :)

    I finally worked out what I owed mam, £175 eep, but mil bless her gives us £100 @sda gift card the week before christmas to get treats for christmas, mam usually buys it off me for £100 so I can use the money online instead as you can't use the gift cards online (or couldn't the last time I checked) so I gave mam that and then £75 cash

    Me and the kids and mam are off to panto today, I can't wait!!!! poor DD has a cold again, but I am hoping calpol and cuddles will make her ok for the panto (my kids always seem to get ill for it lol DS was really poorly two years ago and we weren't sure he was even going to get there!)

    We went through all our money boxes in the house to get the £1 coins out as they need spending/exchanging before october for the new £1 coin and we had £25, so we decided to use it for take away tonight once we get home from the panto.

    6 Weeks and 5 days till I go to london (eep!!) I am sooooooo excited, but getting a bit nervous to meet the walking dead cast, I do get fairly star struck when I see famous people lol, but I've managed to keep my cool when I first met Hanson in 2003 and I have loved them since 1997 so I should be ok around the walking dead cast (I hope lol)

    I hope everyone has a good day xx

    Morning all, how is everyone doing?

    I need to ring work for a day off as my mam is poorly and she normally has the kids today.

    Think I will continue the declutter I have been doing when the kids are at nursery/school

    Not much going on in the world of money lol

    I really need to do an ebay though, I have plenty things that I could sell xx
