The next chapter ....

Just done the end of month banking round-up and I have overspent by £110 already (payday not until Monday). I have spent about £80 on ds xmas presents this month though so that's most of it accounted for. I need to look to make a few more pennies before the end of the month ...

So I went round to get Mum to go food shopping and she still hasn't shifted her cold (4 weeks) so I took her to the doctors and she got some antibiotics. Took 2 hours in total. I now have a shopping list that I will order online for her instead.

I think I'll have my bath in a bit, do my eyebrows etc then I can chill tonight and watch Bake off and Grand Designs

I'm going to clear my surveys again this afternoon too, they seem to be never ending!

Last day of half-term and so I need a new list of must do's for today I even have a separate one for me and ds

My list:

• Ironing
• Change my bedding (did ds' bed yesterday)
• Clean car
• Visit Mum
• Bath / eyebrows / nails
• Clean bathroom
• Clean kitchen
• Maintenance wash in dishwasher
• Complete Christmas shoebox
• Find winter part of duvet (in box in garage) and attach
• Hoover through
• Walk the dog
• Double check end of month banking

Ds List:

• Complete last piece of homework
• Bath
• Tidy / hoover bedroom
• Pack bag & PE kit

That's the plan for today then, food shopping came yesterday so will sort something nice for dinner later, possibly roast chicken with noodles and veg today as I'm a bit bored of roasts lately.

Car has been cleaned inside and out, have been to Mums and changed her bed, tidied the kitchen, sorted the rubbish, hoovered through and come home with a blue Ikea bag full of washing (she has a chest infection at the moment and is hardly getting out of bed). I have also found a shoebox so am ready to cover that and fill. I did the ironing before I went out, so am doing a fairly good jo on my list so far today

Morning all, another weekend rolls around, we only have a month until the Christmas fair so this weekend will be filled with stuff for that again. I am really looking forward to it but will also be so pleased once its over with

Luckily the flat is pretty clean and tidy as I had a viewing on thursday, just the usual washing / ironing etc to get done.

I will also try and fit in clearing my surveys, sorting out a tesco food order and hopefully celebrating picking up 3 points today in the footie

I wish I could say Bristol picked up three points today! Don't know the score for you but I hope you had a good result?

Unfortunately we lost Florence We lost to Sunderland, their first win of the season :mad: :mad:

In better news I've just cashed out £40 from a survey site :D

Yesterday I didn't get back from my friends until 10.45, we got quite a lot done though. Today I need to pop out this morning and get a few bits, find the winter part of the duvet (in a box in the garage), do the ironing, clear the rest of my surveys, maybe a bit of Xmas shopping online, tesco shopping is coming between 2-3pm, ds is back around 3 today, collect the dog and walk him and I think that's about it
