The next chapter ....

Evening all, aaah the weekends here again It's been a strange week this week, the kids are all getting very stressy now about their exams and this is making me stressed too

Anyway, my windows have finally been ordered, just waiting to hear when they can come and fit them. Tax credits have arrived in my account today so that will be moved into the savings pot for this month as my frugal month continues

Ds has gone to his Dads, tomorrow I'm doing PTA stuff with a friend from work, a whizz round with housework and then a lay Sunday.

Forgot to say I did a mystery shop tonight, first one for ages, I need to go and add £11 to my total for that

How did your walking go over the week? How many steps did you average? I walk a lot more during the week than I do at this he weekend and I think it's becau I'm in school.

Not great Dangers tbh, I've done between 7000-9000 each day which is nowhere near enough, however I have lost 2.5lbs this week :T

Good going on the weight loss. Knowing you, you'll challenge yourself with the walking though, especially as we're going into (hopefully) better weather.

This morning I'm having a lay one on the sofa watching the marathon, feeling guilty that I haven't done the work to be there

Ds is due back at about 2 today, I need to get some food bits as I haven't done a tesco order this week, I also need to go and get some one stop sink unblocker :cool:

Yesterday when I went to my friends the car was jumping a bit then two lights came on, it went into limp mode and wouldn't accelerate or do anything :eek: Anyway, luckily the dealership I bought it from was about a mile away so I took it there and they took it in and got it fixed within 20 minutes :T It needed a new coilpak (£160 but covered by the warranty :money: ) and new spark plugs (£23). It's all working nicely again now so all is good again

£5 from a survey site, added to the total:D

And it's the weekend again, and thank God it's a long one this time

Finally I've heard that my windows are being fitted next saturday morning (7th) and the estate agent is popping round in the afternoon to take photos etc and then I'll finally be on the market :j There really isn't much available in this area at all though which is a bit of a worry, but I'm sure something will turn up

Tonight I want to sort all the end of the month banking stuff and make sure it all matches what I think should be there

I also need to do a Tesco order as I have managed to drag it out all week but finally I need to get it done.

• Find spare doorkey
• Washing
• Sort out sink (again)
• Ironing
• End of month banking
• Food shopping order
• Brothers birthday present
• Xmas fair list
• Clean bathroom
• Ds - homework
• Clear surveys
