Morning all.
Sorry I havn't posted the last few days, for some reason I have been in a complete funk and didn't really want to mix with the world. Feel a lot better today, don't know if its because I am home alone and its completely silent so I can think straight.
Got both kids off to school this morning and I was going to do a food shop but really didn't feel like driving off to a supermarket, so although the fridge is looking bare we do have enough in to make sandwiches for lunch and we will all have red pepper and cheese pasta bake tonight with a green salad, there is ice cream in the freezer, I will bake later for pack ups tomorrow. I have placed a online delivery with Mr M to come tomorrow and I had enough points for a £10 more voucher, so that knocked a tenner off still managed to spend around £70 though.
I've spent the last hour pottering in the garden tidying up, have come in for a quick drink and a catch up, will go back out and finish off shortly but its so hot out there today so will try and stay in the shade. 2nd load of washing is out on the line and another is in the machine.
Had a couple of small sales on £bay which have gone to HP, also redeemed anpther £16 from pan3lbase, waiting on around £50 from various survey sites, so close to being in the £1700. Couple of DD have gone out to CC this morning, I'm finding have the cards on 0% and just having the DD go out makes me think about them less and yet still enjoy life if that makes sense, I have been reading a lot on the whole universe thing and how if you have debt you should not focus on it all the time but set up a payment plan that works and then not think about it and I have to say its really working for me.
Hope everyone is ok.x.0 -
Morning all.
Another quiet day at home for me, strange how I have ended up with different school hols than the kids doesn't normally happen.
Washing is on, just a small load as its clothes from yesterday, feels good to be on top of the washing/ironing, won't last though.
Banking checked this morning and I'm skint, all money is allocated and I now have a £20 buffer left, as I have spent some of my reserve money on school shirts for the kids as M&S have 20% school uniform, all my children's uniform except shirts have to be bought from uniform shop so I bought them to put away whilst on offer, so £40 gone, have ordered them to store so will pick up at the weekend.
£25 had hit account from survey site so that has gone straight into HP, I have now hit £1700:j I cant quite believe how fast it has added up, would love to be in the 18s by the end of this month, but can't see it happening as there is no cash to spare and not much left to £bay, but will keep plodding on and see where we get to.
Hope everyone is ok and still enjoying the sunshine.x.0 -
Quick update before tea, HM burger and chip, not very healthy but will be very yummy.
Mr M order arrived, they had messed up with some meat I ordered so rang up and complained, got £7.75 refunded and got to keep the meat and a £5 evoucher for their error:j.

Morning all, holidays are officially over and it's back to it.
Very grey and overcast here this morning, umming and arring about putting washing out, might put it on the airer in the porch as it gets quite warm in there and will hopefully dry.
15p TT to HP this morning, all I could afford. Sent £70 to CC.
Need to make pack ups shortly, feed chickens and collect eggs.
Hope everyone is ok.x.0 -

£10.10 received from a survey site which has been sent to HP.
Pack ups made for us all, left over chicken from last nights tea in sandwiches, must bake tonight as we have no sweet treats left.
Will be a spend day as DD needs cookery things for tomorrows lesson.

Morning all.
We have wet stuff falling from the sky
, will put some washing on airer in porch today as I cant peg out:mad:.
Small TT of 16p sent over to HP, might be a little more later as I have an £bay item ending. 50 points won on LP.
Yesterday wasn't a NSD as I needed a few cookery bits for DD for school, spent £1.89 on veggies and pasta, luckily I had some chicken in the freezer.
DD made a choc brownie cake last night so that saved me a job, which means they have a yummy treat for pack ups.
