    I've taken Mum to look at new conservatories and made an appointment for someone to come and measure up for her. I also bought some sandpaper and bits for me to start doing some bits and pieces at home. I'm utterly freezing right now though so have just whacked the heating on and am waiting to defrost before I can get on with anything else. Actually I may do the end of month banking stuff as that means I can sit on the sofa with a blanket and the laptop :D

    Keep warm! I purchased some snuggly Fleece Pj bottoms in the Peacocks sale section, 2 for 6 quid. I'm hoping it will cut down on the heating bill. I was wearing 6 scarfs yesterday evening on the sofa! Thanks for reminding me to do my end of month banking and spreadsheets.

    So another new month is here - tonight I'm sorting the banking (didn't get done yesterday) and Bournemouth are playing too, so will be a laptop and telly night :) I have already moved £250 from my wages into savings and £6 is coming from quidco, signature is looking very healthy but I need to ramp it up a bit if I want to move house.

    Evening all, £30 from a survey site tonight, taken a while to get there this time :) I really need to find some motivation to start sorting the flat out but when I get in from work I'm so tired i just can't get going. Maybe at the weekend :o

I need to get mum a Mothers day present and my bil a birthday present for tomorrow too. Ds needs new socks for PE aand maybe new school shoes too :o

    So I've sent the kids up to the park so I could get on with some housework. My room is cleaned, the bathroom is cleaned, everywhere is tidy and hoovered, the washing machine is on its second load, the dishwasher is on and I'm feeling a bit calmer now :)

    I must do a food shop, might do that now actually before they come back.
