This is it *ping* lightbulb!!!

I know I am really looking forward to it, so many things I end up not going to cos I can't drive, I only work three days a week so in school holidays could always do with a car on my days off even just to take the kids to the beach etc with OH is at work, so I deffo need to

OH is very excited about this opportunity

Payday was last week, so I've just put another £100 in christmas savings, so we have £270 cash and £40 amazon so far, I have started on my list as well for the kids and me and OH, OH is terrible for telling me ideas when my family ask so I've got him thinking about it now lol then can write them down for next few months.

Stayed the same weigh wise this week, but got down into a new stone zone last week, my weigh loss is slow at the min which I think is cos of the T25 workouts I am doing, I've only lost 9lb so far, but I have already gone down a dress size, my shape has changed for the better already off the workouts which I am onto day 18 of.

All CC payments have gone out for June etc, so that's all looking good

I've got the kids new polo shirts for next school year and their socks, I like the next ones as I like the collar on the girls ones, and they last, I don't think they are badly priced either, you get 5 for £15 in my daughters size and 5 for £17 in my sons. I need DD to try on DS PE polo shirt from this year and see if that fits her for next year, they will both need new PE trainers, and DS will need a new tshirt but I will check if his shorts fit cos they were big
And then I just need to get 2 skirts for DD, 2 pinafores for DD and three pairs of pants for DS, they will need new shoes later in the year I think, I will check them before sept (I bought a clarks child food measurer for home lol)

It's 25 days till our hols eek!!!!!!!! Me and OH went shopping on friday and got the final bits for hols, so we are all sorted

Have a nice day all xx

Afternoon all

How is everyone doing?

18 Days till our holiday to Tenerife!!! I'm getting sooooo excited, but nervous at the same time! I will feel relaxed when we are packed etc, but I obviously can't do that yet, I will go through all the paperwork this weekend

The kids school do transition week, so this week everyone moves up a year, I hope the kids are ok, and are with some of their friends

Nothing much happening with the debt, need to concentrate more on it when I get back off hols

Have a good day all xx

Have a fab holiday xx

kindofagilr

Back from the holidays, we had a fab fab fab time, the kids loved it, they loved being in the pool all the time, poor DS fell over pool side and split his chin though, thankfully it didn't need stitches, we hired a car for six days, so enjoyed loads of days of exploring the island and mountains ans volcano.

I am soooooooo excited about next year's holiday in the villa, the only niggles I had this time was near the end of the hols there was some annoying people, and the food got samey (all inclusive) so I am looking forward to having our own pool and space, and yes I know we have to cook our own food but you don't need cooked food every meal lol, I am happy with cereal and then a toastie for lunch, then BBQ meat and salad for tea

52 weeks and 1 day till next holiday eek (41 weeks and 3 days till Centre Parcs)

All washing is done and away, cases are back away in the loft, so slowly we are returning to normality, OH went back to work today, I go back tomorrow but only for the one day

Looking forward to getting the debt down, and focusing on making extra money for next year's holidays

19 weeks till christmas whoop lol

I need to ring sky at some point as my tv offer has ended and it's gone back up to full price, so I need to "cancel" again

Have a nice day all xx

lol are the cases away yet??

How is everyone doing? we are getting back into the swing of things here, I can't believe the kids only have 2 weeks and 1 day left off school!!!

Christmas savings are ticking along nicely, I have £370 in cash saved and £50 amazon vouchers, I think I can get the vouchers to £100 by christmas, and my cash to £800, so I am really really pleased with that

I have decided the shopping money excess each week will go to Centre Parcs savings, and any extra income a month will go to Cyprus (so overtime, any tutor wages OH makes, ebay etc)

I am soooooo pumped for the year ahead xx

I am back on diet plan, I gained 4lbs on hols, which I was happy with, and this week have lost 1 of them (I dont know how cos Ive been so naughty lol) back on it now tho xx

Morning, how is everyone doing.

It's blooming cold here today!!!! A day of housework and washing here

Overtime is about to start at work soon (yay) so I have my name down for that, think it's likely to be next weekend that it starts. I am pleased it is starting cos I wanted to make more money, but will miss the kids swimming which is gutting, it's likely to be on every other weekend I think (as full timers have to have 2 days off in 14 days, I only work 3 days so could do every weekend if it was on, so they will probably put it on every other weekend so the full timers can always come in, get maximum staff in) so I will see them every other week.

Sky just went up by £30 (offers ended) so I have just rang them and told them it's too much, and they've reduced it back down to £60 for 18 months, so that's good

We've nearly caught up on our gas and electric (spent a lot last winter for some reason) so that's also good, can start building up a credit for winter now.

Getting kids haircut on sat ready for them going to school on the 5th and we are going school shoe and PE trainer shopping on saturday after swimming, once we have those that's everything sorted for school

Have a good day all xx
