Thanks marsbargirl and DebtFree

Am still feeling chuffed today
And also feeling chuffed because I fitted the new battery to my car and she worked !!
I think I must have been a mechanic in a previous life :rotfl: she needs new pads and discs next month and I had to tax her this morning so feeling very out of pocket now
but at least I have my car back
now just got to put new brake pads and discs on dh old car and the blasted airbag light is back on so hopefully by some miracle we will get rid of the car once that's all sorted before end of next month and then we can get some control on the car spending !
Lunch with my grandfather today and lots of reading done
next assignment is due next week so will be a weekend of writing I think 
No xtra payments made today but a few eb@y bits sold so have to sort that when I get home later, and apart from the car no spends today
(still a few hours left though :rotfl: ) Total 15th April '15 :£12594.00 :eek:
Total today: £
Savings Today £1000
Xmas Shopping £0

Been a long busy day and another long one tomorrow, I am ready for the weekend now

£5 SB has arrived in my account and most eb@y sales have paid so will sort that tomorrow sometime in between the days chaos, should then have a couple of extra ££s coming off CC2
My mystery shop seems to have gone through ok so I think I will be paid, but not sure when so just have to wait for that, I can now do more shops so will try and find time to have a look at that tomorrow and book another one in
Really need to try to do some paintings before Saturday, should have a free day Friday to get some work done, fingers crossed
Already 1/3 towards my next SB £5
only because I had a couple of nice surveys 
Dentist and more reading tomorrow, oh the joy

Just paid another £10 to CC2 courtesy of SB and eb@y, need to pay postage for items and any left over pennies can go to Cc2 too

Had two hours free before the dentist this morning so just been for a coffee in local restaurant while I used the 'free' time to read, was nice having change of scene while reading and I got LOADS of work done but now am annoyed I could have paid the £2.79 I spent on a coffee to CC2 instead, so I'm setting myself a challenge for the rest of this month and July that every time I feel the need to spend money on something silly I'm going to log straight into CC2 and immediately make a payment for the same amount of what I want to waste, to be fair it won't happen often as I'm normally really good at not going for coffees etc but nevertheless I'm interested to see if I'm as good as I think
Right off to get on with the rest of my busy day,
No rest for the wicked

Productive morning so far

Half way to my next £5 SB, did another mystry shop, house is clean, clothes are on the line
Just need to check the bank and update my book of doom after yesterday's spends, £43 at the dentist to redo a filling
Then I have to sort tomorrow's craft fair, start and finish a few paintings, make some cards, post eb@y bits that I forgot to do yesterday, oops ! and if there's time get a bit of reading done :eek:
Shopping after school today which means the children will be with me which means I will be wanting to dump the trolley and leave the store without the shopping or the kids
I rarely do shopping with the children but I had to get straight home this morning
No other payments made yet,
The house I like is still for sale and has reduced its asking price :eek:
I'm feeling
and
hopefully it still won't sell but with the price reduction maybe it will, oh well, as I always say if it's meant to be it will be

Weekly shop was kind of good, only spent £14.51 in l1dl but, I had the children with me which normally means all sorts is thrown in the trolley but today I stuck with 'no'
but I was also eager to get out of the shop before I put them all on the top shelf and left them there so I did forget a couple of things but they can all wait until Monday's top up shop, luckily we didn't need a big shop as there is plenty here for meals just nothing for picking at, which is good for my waist 
Now for a long night with my books

Been a busy weekend,
Had ds1 sport presentation which was a lovely evening, and a late night so quite tired after that
Had the craft fair which was ok for a small fair, sold a few things and had an unexpected visit from a friend I haven't seen for a little while so that was lovely
Have decided not to do very many more craft fairs and going to try and get my pieces into a few shops instead, it's quite time consuming organising everything to go to the fairs throughout the year so we will see how we go with the shops over the next six months and then reassess, also it's been something i've wanted to do for a long time I've just never found the time to actually do it !
This morning ive painted a bit more of the walls in the garden and am now halfway through
be glad when that's done
Going to give the house a tidy up and get through the washing now and then read for the rest of the afternoon before I start my assignment tomorrow :eek:Total 15th April '15 :£12594.00 :eek:
