Diary of my new life !!!

Lots to mention already today ...

Postie brought me a water bill today for £40 which is the metered water for 6 months. I will still get a bill for sewerage but am pleased with the amount of this first one as I have put away £20 each month towards the water bills

The I submitted my electricity reading and it automatically generates a bill, which was £153 :eek: :eek: but then it has to take off the direct debits already paid (£105) so its not so bad

I nipped into Tescos after ds swimming lesson and I bought a new camera for £80 :eek: :eek: Mine has completely had it, I have tried to fix it but can't :mad: I needed a sony one as I have a memorystick that cost loads :rolleyes:

But, on the slightly more positive side I found a pair of jeans at the bottom of my wardrobe that fit really well that I'd forgotten all about so I dont need to buy a new pair this month :j so the money I would have spent on them can go towards the new camera.
I also spent another £23 in tesco but that included a shirt for my dads birthday which is budgeted for and easter eggs (4 for £3).

Now we're off to see my friend again, she's been signed off for another week today. We're going to go and sit on the beach for a bit as its beautiful here today

We had a lovely afternoon, we went down to a local beach and it has a path thats about a mile long through a wooded bit so we took ds bike with him and he finally got the hang of pedalling :j :j I'm so chuffed cos my back always kills me as I usually end up pushing him all the way :rolleyes: We then had a play on the beach and got the land train back to the car park. Another cheap afternoon out, my friend paid for the car park and a cup of tea each and I paid for the land train, so a total of £2.40 for the afternoons entertainment, and ds got loads of fresh air, exercise and a mini-milk :rotfl:

I've had a go with the camera and my memry stick doesn't fit :mad: :mad: :mad: It needs a newer version ... I'm quite annoyed as I now need to buy another one, although tescos have them on offer for £15 but am still annoyed

I've just had a bath and now need to straighten my hair and then tidy up a bit and sort stuff out for tomorrow as we have swimming again and then we're going to my Mum and Dads for the rest of the day. It will be my first trip driving on a motorway so I'm a little nervous

Sounds like a lovely afternoon Benben.

Is it half term there this week?

benbenandme

Yep we're on half-term this week (ds school and my school), the weather has been great so far too :beer:

We were off last week, weather was lovely for us too.

Back in school now, for a very short half term :T

benbenandme

Yeah when we go back its only 4 weeks and the first one of them includes a day training which gets me out of school for a day, and the last week has an inset day at the end of it, so really only 2 full weeks with the kids

I feel like the hard slog is September to Christmas, the rest of it is all school holidays, trips out, bank holidays etc

It'll soon be July :rotfl:

benbenandme

Yep, the autumn term seemed to go on forever :rolleyes: but it will be easter soon and then its the final countdown until the summer :j :j I can't wait already

spud30

The autumn term DID go on for ever :rolleyes:

I worked most of last week, we trialled running a holiday club - long days but loads of fun

Well it's probably too late, for this, but never buy a premium piece of equipment to fit the expensive media. Doing it that way, you end up with a betamax video recorder.

Sell the memory stick on ebay, and buy something that uses SD cards...
