Keeping_Motivated

Hi Benben

I also got the Abel and Cole offer. Was a good offer but I won't be ordering again. I hardly got anything in my box for 10.95!? Carp actually. I'm surprised though because I thought I would be tempted to carry on ordering but I won't. Nice to try for virtually free though

You'll sort the money out I'm sure.

Have a good day

We've had a great day today; we went to the country show this morning, 15.00 for me to get in, free for under 5's, so ds had to pretend to still be 4 Once inside I spent 2.00 on some chips, 4.00 on ice-creams, 8.00 on part of nephews xmas pressie and 2.50 on a game for ds . Ds spent 5.00 of his birthday money on yet another toy lorry :rolleyes: Ds had great fun, he had his face painted, climbed on buses :rolleyes: , drove little cars, saw loads of animals etc...

Then we went down the beach with my brother and sister and their kids and my parents which was nice and ds played nicely with his cousins

Then when we got back I saw I'd sold another thing on ebay for 6.00 :beer: but the best news of all today, I got a phonecall from my poorly mate to say her scan results have all come back clear and she may even be able to go back to work in a couple of months :j :j

Aah sounds like a lovely day - I never see anything like that advertised! And great news about your friend, must be such a relief.

The girls and I went to see Mamma Mia this afternoon and it was absolutely hilarious, we all loved it and want to see it again! So can definitely recommend it. And even better, it only cost me £5 - had a free coke zone win ticket and used my orange phone to get 2 for 1, bargain! then Georgia cost me £4.30 on popcorn, scandalous!!!

Not much planned for tomorrow - need to write a shopping list of picnic stuff for Fri - off to Brean leisure park. And using clubcard vouchers for one of those tickets. Think I'm doing quite well for bargains this week (apart from 2 pairs of school shoes for girls at £35 each argghhhhhh)

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Second that about Mamma Mia - hysterical and so tongue in cheek it is marvellous! Just looked like they had such a ball making it! And (apart from Piers Brosnan who presumably is there for other reasons) the singing wasn't bad either!

And a hint - don't get up and leave when the credits start to roll......

Milly its because I live in a touristy area, when I lived in london suburbs there was nothing at all like that, part of the reason I wanted to come home I'm dead lucky and I do really appreciate it I def want to see Mamma Mia too, heard loads of good reviews of it now

I must sort out the bank accounts tonight once and for all, I hate feeling like they're out of control

Payday today, which I'd forgotten about so that was a nice surprise I've moved the normal bit I save from my wages into the mortgage pot and emptied my paypal account and its seen off feb 2030 and I only need about another 20 quid to see off the 2030's altogether :j :j

This morning I absolutely must sort out the bank accounts as I didn't do it last night and if its not sorted before the start of the month I'll get into an even bigger muddle

Todays plan is firstly the bank accounts, then post an ebay parcel (one of those benefit lipglosses free with a magazine - I sold it for 6 quid ), then we're meeting up with a friend and her kids for a picnic lunch,either down the beach or in her lounge, weather dependent

My mum is also taking ds shopping for a card and pressie for me, he was upset last night because he hasn't got me anything - usually his father takes him to get something but he clearly forgot this year :rolleyes:

I'll have a look at the calender later and try and find some dates when we can meet up,was it thursdays and fridays that are good for you?

tigzem

My Mum was there yesterday, I would've gone today but got my mate from Reading down. I haven't been there for years, it is very horsey, I remember that much.

Yeah Thurs/Fri's are good for me.

We got another bargain Sun holiday for October, £68 for a super duper caravan as we got a free upgrade due to the problem we had last time.

What are you doing for your birthday?
