Morning.

Cup of tea and catch up before getting kids up and trying to get out of house on time.

Weather looks much brighter today, going to peg out today, hate using TD in summer and also hate having the airer stuck in the middle of dining room.

Banking checked and although it's squeaky close everything is on budget, please universe can I have a few sales on £bay to make things feel comfortable, thankyou.

No debt payments to be made today, really got to get this emergency fund going, so I can start overpaying, so much to do, so much debt and so little money:eek:. Think positive thoughts, can do this, can do this:D.

Today's to do list-

Packed lunches.
Pack/post £bay parcels.
photo/list £bay items, sort relists.
TIDY DINING ROOM.
Peg out.
Ironing
make mincemeat slice.

Tea tonight is just Jkt spuds, so nice and easy.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Few jobs done, still a few more to do though before bed.
Meal plan swapped around as had forgotten DS had a cricket match so needed to make a quick tea so had scrambled eggs instead of JKts.
Speaking of eggs the hens are laying like mad at the minute which is fantastic, will boil some later for tomorrows packed lunches.
Needed a couple of bits today from MrT,so emptied the change jar of 1p,2p and 5ps bought wraps and beans and used the self service checkout, glad it was quiet took ages to feed in £1.54 in mostly 1 and 2ps:rotfl:.
Driving like an old lady at the minute (no offence) trying to conserve petrol, fingers crossed that I can get to Friday before I need to put any fuel in.

Hope everyone is ok.

I hope you've tidied that dining room Pennywise :rotfl:

Hope the weather was good in your neck of the woods today. Got two loads of washing dry here today.

Have a great weekend.

pennywisepoundstupid

Thanks for posting MTG and SA, dining room is tidy MTG .

Seem to have had a busy couple of days, just doing general jobs but definitely running around in circles.

Weather was awful yesterday, not only was TD on to dry clothes but woodburner was lit as well, I hope this isn't going to be how the summer continues.

Went grocery shopping yesterday and managed to spend £71 in A1di which seemed a huge amount considering I didn't buy any meat or alcohol, prices are creeping up. But I need to remember I'm feeding 4 adults now really and DS probably eats more that DH.

I have had a couple of small sales on £bay and did some listings yesterday. Tuesday CB hits account so i'm going to pay any bills that need paying whether they are due yet or not which will be about £200, have 2 DD that go out at the end of the month £65 and have £160 for the rest of the months groceries and £55 for fuel. Should then start on emergency pot, DS needs some bedroom furniture and garden needs finishing.

Plans for today -
sort out mount laundry,
make a traybake,
list a couple of items of clothes on DH £bay account,
sweep mop through downstairs.
Visit DH relatives.

Meal plan for the week -

Sun- Kievs, wedges and salad.
Mon - scrambles eggs, mushrooms, toms,toast.
Tue - Pork stirfry & noodles.
WEd - Jkt spuds, beans/cheese.
Thurs- sausage pasta bake.
Fri - Cottage pie.

Afternoon Pennywise,

Glad to hear youve tidied the dining room

£71 in Mr Al's :eek:, can you imagine how much it would have been in one of the other supermarkets though. Most I've spent so far is £44 (only been 4 times though :rotfl:).

Meal plan looks nice xx

I bet you got loads for £71 though I think our local Mr Al is more expensive than the city centre one because it's on the cusp of a quite wealthy area. Depends what you're buying though, obviously the super 6 are universal.

Have great week
