Being a working mum & wife and running the home is like juggling glass balls haha i always feel like Im spinning plates.

Ive failed on an epic scale tonight because ive had a bowl of cereal for tea and some cheese sticks so diets out the window. At least the boys have had a decent tea. And now Ted is in my bed AGAIN because after 2 hours of taking him back to his own bed ive given up- I just need to sit down lol!!

Do you use topcashback? It won't help you now but yoy get money back on alm your online shopping xx

Aw Lauren you haven't failed. I've had bread today again. Life just gets in the wAy. I'm just trying to not overeat, hoping that my calories are roughly where they should be. Haven't done any exercise today though.

No don't have cash back as only ever shop on eBay, Amazon or Tesco really

You do a great job missy and as long as you're spending time with kids and there fed and watered that's all that matters. Who cares about the housework. X
TopCashback gives you money back for eBay btw, might be worth you signing up. Xx

Morning! Busy day ahead i have a reading cafe thing and then an assembly this afternoon at the school. Don't have much to myself today so think I will try and do some tidying.

Hope you're All ok x

Hope today has gone ok Missy. I am having another no spend day. got 50 quid back from British Gas which I have put to one side. I would like to save another 50 pounds this month ideally, so I am challenging myself to find that, I appreciate it's not as much as your valiant effort but still ha ha xx

Hey lauren! You're doing great, well done on the cash back.

It's been a busy day, I haven't been to the dentist to be honest i forgot about my tooth as it doesn't hurt! Will maybe go Friday or Monday depending on time. I went to Mays reading session, she cried though as I think she found it difficult I was there, a little bit overwhelming and she's super tired. I did some exercise, we'll gloss over the fact I had a nap.... I've tidied the toys and cleansed 2 of the 3 toilets, answered some work emails, found £10..... What was that.... Yes I found £10!!!!!! In one of my handbags!! I'm not one to find money or to lose it for that matter so I'm over the moon. That's going towards the £200, so, so far that's £20 with yesterday's £8 in purse and change. So £180 to find!

Have found more things to eBay. And I've gone through the charity and eBay pile and worked some things back into my wardrobe, save me buying stuff! Sorry charity shop....

I've got Togo to an assembly shortly then home to make Spag Bol and then taking Roo to scouts for the first time!

Then them home to bed, I need to make cakes for work tomorrow as its national cake week. I could do with hoovering before MIl comes tomorrow to get smalls from school whilst I work, need to think of a slow cooker meal for tomorrow.... Any thoughts?

Hey missy, it's always worth having a look at your selling page on ebay, there might be listing promotions there and they don't always tell you.

We currently get 100 free listings a day on all of our accounts. They often have weekend promotions too, but you need to look as they don't always tell you.
Go to my ebay, all selling, and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Failing that, you could always open a second account, and have two lots of free listings!

Great news about the £10 :T :T

laurenh1

well done you on the tenner It is always nice when that happens...unfortunately it is so often the other way round and having to spend unexpectedly! I appreciate 10 a week is a pretty bear budget but is there any coupons you could use to get free shopping xx
