mumof3.12kindebt

i really feel like i need a break away, i've agreed with partner to see what we have saved by our birthday (both july) if we can id like to do a long weekend in london and a camping trip.


had work today and im still feeling exhausted, not going to lie i may just go to bed once ive updated the spreadsheet. im off now until sunday fortunately as ive taken some holiday, i have some 'paperwork' to do and its quite alot so im going to focus on that from Thursday till next week to keep my mind off things. i haven't felt this tired in a very long time.

im going to inquire about carpet and lino quotes for our lounge and bathroom to make things nicer well we are here as im starting to get very depressed again about 'this place' i keep seeing things id love but we don't have the room here or don't see the point in buying it until we move and know what sort of room sizes we are dealing with.

all i can say is im well and truly feeling fed up

will make a point of depositing the money out of the money box before the weekend.

once thats cleared we have a grand total of £4000 so far not bad considering we started our journey 5 months ago and we have also cleared £2100 in debt ! pleased with that

Thank you

Tonight after school we went to the park. We ce home all covered in mud. As well as the park we jumped in puddles. We rolled down hills. He screamed hello from the top of a hill. I captured middle childs first ever hill roll on camera I went down the slide with the youngest and the boys. It was an hour of pure laughter and joy for all of us.

Oven is heating up for dinner and then I'm going to continue with sorting out our bedroom which I started before the school run

It's snowing here today. Only light so it won't stick. (hopefully) as I have work tomorrow.

Sorted out our bedroom last night. Ordered some chest of drawers and bed side tables. Hoping it will help keep it more organised. Other than If we buy new chest of drawers for the kids at somepoint. And storage for the bathroom that's the last of buying any furniture before we move. They are smaller than our current ones so will allow more space. But that's the last of the spending outside our budget.

We still need to book the water zorbing experience and have nandos vouchers to use.

Nearly every room here is now better organized and it's making me feel better about living here. To be honest though I have got rid of lots of stuff.

Need to update the spreadsheet again.

Need to sort the kids room. The cupboard in our room and the drawer under dds cot this week.

Church tomorrow again as I'm not in till the afternoon.

Off to read my book for abit before I crack on with the housework. We are spending the day at home today. Might do some baking later.

Today will be a NSD either way :money:

Used up the eggs that needed using up for lunch. And going to use the rest to make pancake mix and pancakes for some breakfasts this week.
Made my bed. Kitchen is clean and tidy just need too hoover. Hoping to fill a bin bag of stuff to leave the house this weekend.

Off to sort through the boys clothes now. Did dds yesterday and will sort through mine again when the chest of drawers come. They are coming between 7-11am on Monday which is awsome means I can sort through the clothes Monday afternoon after my smear. Thinking of getting so drawer organisers for our socks and underwear drawers. And possibly one for my leggings
