Hi mum2one, I'm trying get organised, lots of lists going on for various things.


Redeemed another £4 from surveys, so now waiting on £47 from survey sites.


Also forgot I need to sort out DD a new passport, anyone got any ideahow much a childs passport is now, I'm thinking around £70, hope Its not much more.

A bit of good news for the budget - childs passport renewal - £46. (£55 if you use the post office check and send).

I've got to do mine in Jan, the DDs in September time. x

Thankyou, that's much better than I thought.

Good morning.


Plans for today are to drop DS in town, he is meeting is friends for a macdonalds and then going to look in game, hasn't decided whether or not he is going to the cinema or not, all I know is I'm not paying for any of it.
Clear DD room ready for painting, already have emulsion paint but not sure about gloss for woodwork, woodwork could always wait until Friday.


Banking checked, nice surprise as I have £12 more than I thought in bank account, all but one bill has gone out leaving me with £12, gone over my budget and seems to be right, so don't know how I go it wrong yesterday.


Have a couple of items ending on £bay today, bids stand at £9.


Going to have an easy tea of jkt spuds,beans and cheese tonight followed by apple crumble I made yesterday.


Better go and catch up with surveys then get dressed.

Good Morning, didn't get round to posting yesterday as I spent most of it digging out DD bedroom and decorating it, have to say it looks lovely and fresh and I managed to get her to box some bits up she didn't want to part with and put them in the loft, so less stuffwent back making it less cluttered.


Money is still tight, but its payday tomorrow so I think we will survive, sold some bits on ebay and received £4 from pinec0ne, so account balance is £32. DD is having a friend to stay tonight so need to get a bag of sweets for them and also some breakfast cereal, DS must be having a growth spurt and is eating loads at the minute.


N£XT and barc card statements in, so sig and budget amended:


Outgoing -

Tesco cc - £110.00
Barc CC - £107.00
Hali CC - £70.00
PO CC - £30.00
Next - £17.00
MBNA- £25.00.


Debt payments £359.


Now tv/mobiles £16.00
wellwoman insurance £8.00
Bus Passes £55.00
clothes £100.00 (DS needs new trainers and school coat).
misc £75.00 ( we have a christening + rugby presentation).
Pets £45.00
Fuel £100.00
Contact lenses £13.00
Groceries £320.00
Christmas £300.00


Total £1027.00


Total Outgoings £1386.00 :eek:.



Income is still roughly the same, I've not added DD passport as I'm going to try and use survey/£bay money for this.


Overall things are looking ok, fingers crossed it stays this way.x.
