LABMUM

I have just read your diary from the beginning and have subscribed. Can I ask what app you use on your phone to track your expenses?

Morning all, another weekend rolls around Ds is going to his Dads in a bit, then I need to hoover through and go out as I have a viewing at 11. I need to go and get Mum a birthday present (for tuesday) then it's an afternoon of watching Soccer Saturday for me Tonight I'm going to bestie's house and we're getting the raffle tickets ready for distribution as they arrived yesterday :j :j It's all starting to become a bit real now

Morning all, apologies for no updates for a week, it's been a crazy busy week at work and ds has been having meltdowns again so all in all its not been great However, the weekend has arrived again and it's a new month too, so time to get things straight and in order.

The plan for the weekend looks like this:

• Do a Tesco food order for delivery tomorrow
• Deliver leaflets
• Ironing
• Clear washing basket
• Find ds trainers
• Cancel ds old phone contract
• Chek MOT due date
• Winter Fair stuff
• End of month banking
• Clean kitchen
• CLean bathroom
• Clear all surveys
• Catch up with all ds homework

Ds has lost his computer / xbox due to his behaviour so I may be in for some grumbly moments this weekend too :cool: He;s currently out doing his paper-round and it's chucking it down and thundering ... it was fine when he left the house so he only has a hoodie on rather than his coat, I have a feeling the novelty of his paper-round might be starting to wear off now

beanielou

Yes. Paper round novelty wears off soon.
I sometimes used to drive my DS round :eek: :rotfl:

He came back thoroughly drenched, I wrung his trousers out before chucking in the wash He got paid today (£23) he gave me £10 towards his box live and £10 to go in his savings, leaving him with £3 :money:

Tesco order is done, being delivered in the morning, now I'm going to do some surveys, the weather forecast say the rain will stop around 11 so we'll go and do the leaflets then.

benbenandme

Grrr the one morning in a fortnight when ds and I can have a lie-in and the damn battery in the smoke alarm decide to start running out and beeping at 6.15am, meaning I have to get out of bed, find a screwdriver, clamber on a chair and disconnect the damn thing :mad: GRRRRRRRRR

So, I've had my bath, ds is vegging on the sofa, time to get dressed and get on with the day. Plans today include more homework with ds, more leaflets with ds, taking the dog to be groomed, tesco shopping being delivered, buying a new battery for aforementioned smoke alarm, ironing and no doubt other such exciting stuff :cool:

benbenandme

And another week has flown by It's been busy at work, ds and I have both had colds and the dog still hasn't recovered from the groomers last weekend

However, on the bright side my favourite football club have donated £500 to our pta fair :j :j We've also acquired a few other prizes for the raffle and have started selling the tickets too, so things are starting to get going now

So this weekend ds is going to his Dads in the morning, I will be doing fair stuff most of the weekend. The flat has been tidied tonight, the washing machine is on but the basket is overflowing still. So, it will be the usual routine of cleaning, washing, ironing, dog walking, food shopping, clearing surveys, catching up on sleep and chilling out, but this week there isn't any premier league footie to go with it :cool:
