  • Hope this week has been kind to you Pennywise xx

    The last week was totally mental and I was exhausted Friday evening but I have 6 weeks to recharge and then do it all again.
    Hope your feeling better.x.
  • I'm not doing very well keeping my diary updated!!.

    So last week was bonkers, far too much to fit in and by Friday I was exhausted, but DH had the bright idea to go and visit family for a long weekend so Car was packed Friday evening and off we all went, arrived back yesterday, managed to not spend too much probably around £30 on treat food and beers and £40 on fuel, was up early this morning as farrier came to shoe horse so no lie in again and £50 lighter, I'm hoping there are no more spends between now and payday on Friday.

    DS and DH are off to sports club tonight, DS was also there last night, nothing much planned for rest of week, both children seem shattered and seem happy doing things at home. DH is off work next week so we have a cinema trip planned, trip to the beach if weather is ok and a trip to Blackpool pleasure beach.

    Money is so tight this week and I'm counting down to payday, eating out of stores and luckily I was bought lots of lovely chocolates from children I work with so we have had those for treats.
    Lasagne and garlic bread for tea tonight which I should finish off shortly.

    Back on track with surveys although I don't think any are close to payout, but at least I have time to get on with some, have put a couple of bits on ebay, hols pot has come to a stand still this month and has not gone up which I am hugely disappointed with:(.

    Feel as though my mojo has gone and can't get myself motivated, maybe I'm just tired.

    Hope everyone is ok.x.

    Gosh, I'm getting exhausted just reading about how busy you all are. The summer holidays is enough time to have a decent rest, plus get yourself motivated, so don't feel you have to do it all at once.

    Thanks chanie, I think I find it difficult to wind down.
  • Good morning.

    Slightly overcast here today but i'm hoping the weather stays dry as DS has a cricket match tonight, DS is also grumpy as his 3G allowance on his phone has run out and he can't go p0kem0n hunting for another few days, he has also broken his xbox controller and I have told him he has to buy a new one out of his allowance, oh to have the problems of a 12 yr old:rotfl:.

    I caved in and spent £18 of my amaz0n vouchers on a pedometer and I love it, it tells me how many steps, calories burnt, km walked and speed, also tells me how carp my sleep is :(, oh well its getting me off my backside.

    Payday tomorrow:D, have sent £45 off to debt today and have £25 left in account, need to post 2 ebay items and pick up some milk and toilet rolls, whatever is left after that can go to hols pot.

    I need to do an online order for next week, going to try and get through the weekend with what we have, do need to do some baking, kids are eating everything in sight.

    Off to get dressed, walk dogs etc.

    Have a good day.x.
  • I feel your pain on the 3G P0kem0n dilemma! DS1 is the same and has to wait until Tuesday - how will they ever cope??!! Xx

    Ha ha :rotfl:, they are such bundles of joy aren't they.
  • Nipped into small town and got jobs done, went to ald1 rather than sainsbobs and stocked up on lots of fruit to see me through to next week.

    £10 leftover put into hols pot, 2 itrems ended on eb@y this morning but nether sold so I have relisted them a bit cheaper, just want them gone and out of the way really.

    Couple more surveys done this morning, nothing paying out though.

    Anyone else feeling cold or is it just me I've had to put a cardi on, its supposed to be July not November.
