    Thank you :)

    We had a lovely time at softplay :) £2.80 spend on squash and a coffee. I would go again at that time, it was really quiet!

    Smalls home and fed and now they are bathed and in bed. Later than usual but it was worth it :D

    Nothing else to update, I haven't done the food shop will do it tomorrow. I have around £7 in my purse left plus the food shop money. Anything left over after I been to the supermarket I will pop and pay into the bill account. Then that will be me until next week :)

    I hope you all have a lovely weekend

    Glad the smalls enjoyed soft play and you enjoyed your coffee. A late night won't do them any harm. I expect they're shattered after all that running around :)

    Keep meaning to ask how your hand is. Are you still having to go and have it dressed? xx

    Just catching up - great to hear how well you are doing! That difference £5.60 a week is fantastic, as is the survey payout. And well done to pupil of the week. :)

    Lovely to read how positive you are feeling and well done on DS for getting pupil of the week. Your children are amazing - wonder if that's got something to do with having a fab Mum?

    Good morning :) Thank you all :)

    Been food shopping, the sun makes it look lovely but it's actually freezing! Had £30 for the food shop plus the £7 in change. Groceries came to £25.53. Will go to town and put the £6.64 into the bank to make the bill account up to £30 and keep the £4.80 in my purse for anything needed in the week. We have quite a few appointments again.

    Bill account £30/£140

    Just remembered bank holiday will have to go to the bank Tuesday :o

    That is it now until the 10th when money comes in again. Hoping to get to the £5 payout on PA for then too.

    Hope you all have a lovely day

    I feel a bit on edge today, like I should be doing something/more but I have nothing to do. That doesn't make sense :o But I know what I mean.

    Smalls are playing with toys for now and I've pottered around cleaning. I'm just going to have a cuppa and read my book but it just feels lazy :o

    Got another survey on PA so when they switch from pending to available I'll just have made the £5 needed for cash out to add to the pit towards the first energy DD.
