A very productive day thenI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

MOrning.
£bay items were paid for late last night after I had gone to bed and I havn't got time to sort them this morning, so a job for tonight, Should be about another £20 for uniform pot.
Pouring it down here and looks like it will continue all day, not going to bother putting washer on as I know it will end up in the tumble dryer and I have plenty of work clothes and kids have school uniform, fingers crossed DH doesn't need sports stuff.
Money stuff is quiet and counting down to payday on Friday when it all starts again. DS has been umming ans arging over a school trip letter. trip to Italy next April at £600, he has decided he doesn't want to go. part of me is a bit disappointed as I wanted him to go and i'm a huge fan of travel and gaining experiences of other cultures, but also slightly relieved about the money. I do have a feeling there might have another trip that's coming up that maybe he wants to go on more, we will see.

Morning.
Well yesterday's to do list went out the window, I made packed lunches yesterday morning and some ebay lists last night and that was it, DH made tea, I just felt totally exhausted and still do hope I'm not starting with something.
Banking checked and it's the day before payday and money in the bank, will transfer this over later if nothing is needed today, I do need to post some ebay parcels but this is covered.
Not doing a to do list today as I know it will be an epic fail as I feel so tired, so today I just want to get through the day.

Hope it's just tiredness and you're not coming down with something. I think we've all had enough by Thursday most weeks.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

Morning and thankyou for your lovely comments. Still tired and ready for the weekend.
I was naughty last night and we had a chippy tea as I couldn't face cooking, so not as much money sent to uniform pot.
Apart from packing 2 £bay parcels I literally did nothing last night.
never mind I have the weekend to catch up. Did als manage a couple of surveys that took we to payout, so £15 redeemed into paypal but takes 4-6 weeks.
Pay day today:j, so tonight's job is a budget, meal plan, money transfers etc, although I have already sent kids their allowance.
Better get ready for work.0 -
Morning.
Didn't manage to get on yesterday as I wanted to get a few bits done to list on £bay, also had no children so easier to get on with things.
DD is away until tomorrow evening on a school trip. Ds came home from friends yesterday evening after being at a friends since Friday, so the house has been very quiet in some ways I miss those noisy toddler days.
MOney is ok, managed to save enough for school uniform and I'm now on with saving for the summer, kids have come up with a few things they want to do, some cheap like a picnic by the river where they can go swimming to days out at local attractions, but I want the money saved so I don't have to worry about it.
Shopping day yesterday and spent a fortune, £71 in a1di, £23 in B00ths and £21 in home bargains, did by some new pillows for ds in home bargains so that was £10 of non food/toiletries.
Thinking of opening a new savings account but not sure who with, need to look into it a bit.

Sun - Rst lamb, veg, rst pots and yorky puds.
Mon - lasagne salad.
Tue - Jkt spuds beans/cheese
