Ready to do it all over again ...

I've been to Sainsburys, returned an item for £7 and spent £17 on bits and pieces for today and tomorrow, so £10 overall spend. I've also done a tesco order for tuesday (£50) which should see me stocked up on various bits and pieces for the month, I've emptied the washing basket and made the beds.

Ds has yet another puncture :cool: so we need to sort that out today ...

We've swapped ds mattress for Mums spare one that she doesn't use anymore, and taken his old one to the tip. We've also sorted the front tyre - I cut my losses and bought a new tyre (the back one was replaced in the summer). It was £30 in total, that will come from the car maintenance fund. Ds has re-attached it to the biks so that problem is fixed.

I also found a 2 litre bottle of Fanta and a 2 litre bottle of Dr Pepper in the boot under my dog walking coat which was a nice surprise

You are on fire

Thank you Beanie, it has felt like a productive weekend but also a calm one

Dinner is on, we're having a lamb, apricot and prune morrocan stew thing. I did it in the slow cooker last time but this time have done it in the oven, will serve with basmati rice. I did buy a french stick to have with it too but ds demolished that at lunchtime

A friend from work has text me to say a girl has been hit by a train at the local station today, I'm hoping it's not one of ours

beanielou

Really hope it is not one of your pupils too

A nice gentle day today, we had an inset day so were finished by 2

I've met my Swagbucks target today, tonight I need to do a couple of other surveys from my inbox, do the ironing that didn't get done yesterday, have a warm bath and continue reading a book I started last night

No money made today as yet, but none spent either

beanielou

Glad that you had a quiet day yesterday

Today was a straight forward kinda day, nothing major to report, but everythings ticking along nicely. I sold an item on ebay (£13) so will add that to the pot, dinners in the oven (pizza), tesco shopping arrived and I need to submit my clicksnap receipt.

I've met my swagbucks target for today, I'm nearly ready for my bath, right now lifes not so bad

Tomorrow ds has his Camhs appointment, I try not to get too excited about it as its just an interim catchup really

£3 in from my monthly bank reward, £50 to go for this months target for my brothers fund, then onwards with the holiday fund

Betterthanever

Glad I've inspired you to hit the swagbucks a bit more! I've set myself a £5 per week target too. Very achievable. I've reached October's target already!!
