Need to get myself together: The beginning

abba1772

I find I'm more inclined to plan a day out for the kids birthdays and create memories rather than buy them lots of stuff which is why we went to blackpool for a belated birthday pressie to the boys xx

monz

We do that for when its October week for his birthday days out here and there. Day before his party he and some friends are also going go karting for the day xx

8 days til payday. My boy got hold of the Smyths catalogue so have a fair idea what left to get . This will all be sorted by payday.

October wage will get his bike and a mini ramp for garden. November wage will get his sofa bed. Then b n m some small items

End of September will be putting £200 aside for starting holiday fund me and my son WILL be going on holiday next year so going to start saving for this. Hoping be two weeks away, my friend might be joining us with her son if she has the funds but I a going and starting saving x

Sounds like some great plans, our Smyths catalouge arrived the other day - my two love going through it for Xmas but they're getting a bit old for some of the things in there!

I'm dragging on for pay day next Wednesday, can't come soon enough.

Free bar and me equals a regretful me in Sunday, complete write off. I cant handle much drink so doing doubles and shots for 8 hours is up there with disaster.
