  • Afternoon diary.

    Not much to update. it's countdown to payday so everything is at a bit of a standstill. Weather has been hit and miss today and must have hung out the same pile of washing 3 times, it's almost dry so fingers crossed the rain holds off.

    Meals plan and shopping done for the week, spent £52 in a1di and £1.25 in the bakery, fingers crossed I managed to remember everything as will be digging in the change day as no grocery money left.

    Meal plan-
    Sat - fish cakes, new potatoes, salad.
    Sun - Rst lamb, rst potatoes, veg.
    Mon- Lasagne, garlic bread.
    Tue- scrambled eggs, grilled mushrooms, tomatoes, toast.
    Wed- Beef casserole, mash, veg.
    Thurs- Jkt, beans , cheese.

    Must do some baking as no treats fro the kids and DH.

    Couple of items listed on £bay, hopefully get a few more bits on tomorrow, slow at the minute, maybe it's the time of year andpeople are saving for hols.

    Are you on countdown as well?
  • Afternoon.

    Quick catch-up, spent the day at home as DD has more tests at school this week so has been revising. Also means it has been a NSD.

    Lots of washing done and hung out to dry, just have a mountain of ironing to do now. Lamb is roasting away and smells delicious and have baked a choc loaf cake for packed lunches although some seems to have disappeared already.

    Made some sales on 3bay so £30 to school uniform pot and have listed some more bits so hopefully they will sell.

    Not much else going on all a bit boring really.

    How lovely to see mums who are looking forward to school hols rather than dreading them xx I've always had to work but my mum had the kids in school hols so it was much easier for me - and they loved going there, she spoilt them rotten.
