    Wages in and it's looking like a £25 pay increase within the household, taking into account DH's effective decrease!

    Money divvied up, yet again spending on DH's CC bites us.. but CC3 is now down to £242.29.. so setting a target of under £150 by the end of the month, though would dearly like that under £100 by next pay day. Whatever the outcome, we are on track to clear it next month.

    All other pots in credit and will stay that way except for the house and kids pots, with about £70 over in them, will keep chipping in pounds and pence when I can though kids account will get hit by about £60 this month.

    Mega busy day ahead. Another part part time has come up which I think I'll apply for. Apart from that lots of work to do and will keep an eye on surveys as 50p away from payout on p-base.

    Sun shining, washing on.. been up since 5am.

    DS fed, DD still under a blanket on the sofa refusing to face the day.

    Off out for the day as it's looking the best day weather wise of the BH weekend.

    Will take a picnic, so the most expense will be a cuppa.

    New neighbours seem to be around, not sure if they have moved in though.. will do my best nosy neighbouring this weekend..

    the littlies would not go to sleep last night for the longest time, so me and DH got into bed quite grumpy in the end.. not surprisingly, they are up with the larks as normal and we are like the walking dead.

    Very much a home day today, baking (when Mr T arrives), must do meter reading, bit of tidying, bit of pottering in the garden.. think DH wants to strip the kitchen wallpaper which is half done.. will get out for a walk at some point this afternoon just to break the day up. have an ironing pile stalking me as well. Just want to be ready for back to work/school tuesday so we can go out tomorrow and not worry about chores!

    Oh - a few things for fleabay listing as well. Looking a bit miserable here today, rain is forecast this morning, but dry and dull later.

    Snap! My kids will have had a late night at MIL's and still up bright and early this morning... shame they don't do that on a school morning. They'll be super grumpy later on!!!

    Enjoy your chilled out Sunday x

    My to-do list remains undone, the fire is on and we are watching a film.. Sold £9 worth on stuff on bookface, but also bought rather a large amount of leg0 that was a total bargain.. will probably sort through it and sell on some bits.. but it was a massive job lot..

    House cleaned from top to bottom.. I need to get motivated for tomorrow - will write a to-do list tonight!
