    Morning all, another week done - still no news on the house, no viewings or anything. The only consolation is that the house I wanted is also still on the market - it has sold twice (and fallen through twice) and both times before it sold within 2 days of being on the market, and this time since the referendum it hasn't, so I guess it shows it's affecting everyone :(

    I've done my tesco order, being delivered tomorrow. Mum wants me to do one for her too, I will see her later and see if she's written a list yet (keeps forgetting).

    I feel a bit lost about the summer holidays, I was so looking forward to settling in to our new home that now I'm worried I'll fritter away the six weeks and I'll be back at work before I know it :o

    This weekend is quite a low-key one, ds is at home, I need to do various bits and pieces that were on my list last weekend that didn't get finished.

    £20 csa money moved into the savings pot. Today I want to get my finances in check some more, I have lots of different accounts, dd's going out from 3 accounts, I need to get a grip on what goes where as I know I'm not as focused on it as I used to be. At some point soon I expect to get a bill from the solicitors for the work done so far :(

    Been to collect my bike from it's service (£35 :eek:), and also collected a prescription and bought some Optrex eyespray (on offer) (£8.50). I went to see the estate agent and they said not to drop the price as there is no-one looking at any price right now, they said there is nothing wrong with my flat or the price, it's just the market. They were also able to tell me that the house I wanted hasn't had any viewings since it fell through either, so maybe if somehow someone comes along wanting mine then the house I wanted might still be available *fingers crossed*

    Evening all, another Friday, and finally the end is in sight for this term :) We finish at lunchtime on Tuesday, so we're almost there now ;)

    This has been another mad busy week, in fact I'm not sure there are any other sort. Still nothing to report on the flat sale :(

    Plans then ... this weekend I need to:
    • Clear all surveys from my inbox
    • Sort ds birthday stuff
    • Clean the flat
    • Food shopping
    • Some PTA stuff

    That's about all, some relaxing needs to be going on in there too :D

    Morning all, so I was awake stupidly early this morning so got up and went to the Next sale. It actually wasn't that busy at all, I spent £86, a few bits for me and some bits for ds (mens size t-shirts now :cool:), one top will need to go back as it was on the wrong hanger and is only a size 8 :(

    Then I went to the 24 hour tesco and did the shopping (£42) and got petrol. I have come home, put the shopping away, emptied the washing machine and put it on again and am now thinking about some breakfast before I think about what else I want to do today :D

    Bathroom cleaned and sparkly again, lounge dusted (bit early to hoover yet), bedroom clean, just a few bits of clothes to go away, kitchen tidy but still needs a clean. Ds room isn't too bad but will be tackled later :)
