So we made it to the weekend, the sun is shining, the washing machine is doing its thing and the weekend has begun

After work I popped to a friends for a quick goodbye drink as she left work today, then went to Mums and collected ds and the dog.

I need to put the dinner on, we're having salmon tonight. Then I need to have a lovely chilling evening. List for the weekend looks like this:

Clear all washing
Ironing
Clean the car inside and out
PTA planning
Clear all surveys
Ds eye test on Sunday
Watch the footie on Sunday
Return form to estate agents
Clean bathroom
Hoover through
Tesco food order

So far this morning I have taken the dog to the park, posted a letter, dropped the signed details back to the estate agents and signed up for a survey thing that pays me £4 a month for having an app on my phone

Today I'm planning on going to a friends house to do the PTA planning stuff then taking ds and his friend to watch banger racing tonight and then he's staying for a sleepover.

I've done about 2/3rds of the surveys from my inbox, will do the bathroom and hoover in a minute. The Tesco food order and cleaning the car should feature in today's jobs too.

The banger racing last night was good fun, £20 for me and free for the kids, £2 for parking and £8 for burgers. They loved it so not a bad night

Tesco shopping is being delivered between 11-12 this morning, I need to cancel ds eye test - I hadn't realised when I booked it that there is a big street festival in the local town so the roads are shut and the one car park will be heaving. Think I'll give it a miss thanks

Friend is coming here to do the PTA stuff this morning as we didn't get to do it yesterday, then Mums coming round to watch Bournemouth on the telly later :T Other than that it will be a quick swich round later with the hoover, do the ironing tonight (only got a few bits), and the car cleaning may have to wait until after school one night this week.

Just come back to the forums used to read your diary nice to see you back said it didn't work out with your OH but exciting re sale of flat good luck with that.

Hey Tallgirl, you were on the MFW board weren't you?

Think I'll be starting there all over again hopefully

Yes I was on the originally MFi3 hope you get some interest so you can find your perfect pad even if it means a mortgage.

I'm not sure I'll manage to get rid of it in 3 years though this time, however I will be making sure I overpay somehow

I'm glad I didn't make the trip to Manchester to watch the footie today, my brother and his family went and he offered to get me a ticket, but the cost of the train journey put me off. So sad for the many people who did pay up to go, just to come all the way home again without seeing a ball kicked, however it sounds like the MUFC staff dealt with the situation very well :T

So, tomorrow is a big exam day for the kids, I'm hoping it all goes smoothly for them. The flat is looking clean and tidy again, hopefully someone might want to come and look at it this week

The estate agent phoned today and I have my first viewing on thursday, fingers crossed it goes well

Today was a good day although I didn't have a great nights sleep last night so am tired today. I have had my bath and will be in bed pretty soon I reckon tonight.

Nothing major to report on the money side of things, it all seems a little slow there at the moment. I am planning on doing a car boot this Sunday if the weather is good.
