  • Evening.

    Totally exhausted and ready for my bed, cannot believe i still have just short of 3 weeks at work before the summer hols, I'm so ready for a break and some home/me time.

    Few 3bay sales over the weekend to add to savings pot, slow and steady.
    I have loads of relists to get done, but will do them tomorrow i'm too tired tonight and will no doubt result in silly mistakes.

    Finances checked over and a couple of DD to go out, few extras to pay for already, minly to do with the kids and school, all i seem to get at the minute is letters asking for various amounts of money for different things, so far this week its been £26 school trip and £35 for an afterschool sports club, which isn't a lot for the year, but when it all comes at once it soon adds up.
    Farrier has also been today so thats another £45 paid out.

    Tomorrows to do list-

    Packed lunches.
    Ironing.
    relists.
    post 3bay parcels.
    order DS costume for school.
    Order sports tickets (free)
    Pay DD school trip.
    Pay DS yearly club fees.
    general housework.

    Off to finish the washing up and hopefully DD will be back soon, really missed her.

    Up early and knocked a couple of jobs off the list, DD is back home having had a lovely time.

    A few bits done and out of the way, sold a couple of bits on £bay which are packed ready to post tomorrow, waiting for 2 BINs to be paid for, this really annoys me both were purchased this morning, is it just me because I thought the whole point of a buy it now was that you paid for the item straight away:mad:.

    No other news everything is plodding along nicely, few grocery bits to buy tomorrow, decided we will go and watch Despicable Me 3 later in the week, 2 teenagers in the house and they both want to go and watch it as does DH :rotfl:.

  • Hi

    Many thanks for your kind messages ladies.

    Went to see Despicabl£ me3 last night was actually really funny and we really enjoyed the film, nice to get out all together.

    Not much going on today just work and then home. Had a couple of mad days with 3bay quite a few sales, someone trying to make out they hadn't received an item and wanting a refund of £20 had sent tracked and it had received a sig so no comeback on me. Another person demanding a refund as they bought an item early hours of morning last Friday and complaining they hadn't received it Saturday even though the listing clearly stated 2nd class postage (READ THE LISTING:mad:) so they didn't get a refund. But apart form that it's all going well. Saving pots are creeping up and bills are being paid.

    I need to Buy a couple of bits for DS as he is off to France with school on Monday, hopefully it won't be to expensive, not having him at home for a week will certainly cut the food bill back a bit.

    Have a good day.x.
  • Afternoon.

    Another week down and 2 weeks to go until summer hols.

    £5 received from survey site and £4 £bay which has gone into Summer hols pot.
  • Morning

    Up early this morning and been and done the food shop £43 spent in a1di and £1.30 in the bakers on some nice crusty bread to have with hummous for lunch. Having a use up week with DS being away and hopefully all I should need to get during the week is more milk and salad bits.

    I'm home alone this morning as DS has gone with DH to see Grandma, I think DS was after some spending money for his trip and DD has gone off on her pony.

    Have arranged a couple of days away in the summer hols visiting family in Wales, so should be a fairly frugal trip, they have a huge house surrounded by land, basically a smallholding. So apart from fuel to get there a couple of bottles of wine and I will do some baking to take as well, shouldn't need to spend much.

    Hope everyone is enjoying some sun.
