    All the beds are washing :) most of the cleaning done. Going to try and catch the F1 race.

    Lucky I think it helped I didn't take any money with me at all. I'd have had to have left and found a cash machine and it would have been out the grocery budget for this coming week so wasn't even tempted. We where only going to help in the kitchen but ended up staying the whole time it was on helping out in one way or another.

    Smalls are eating lunch then want to play outside.

    I feel like I'm being a bit boring but nothing in money wise so nothing out.

    Meal plan is done and a shopping list created for Tuesday. Around the £20 mark again fingers crossed.

    Hope you're all having a good Sunday

    Evening

    Another weekend over. Another weekend closer to the school holidays :D

    This afternoon has been an organising type of afternoon. Have made sure everything's in the right places etc checked the smalls cupboards and drawers. The meal plans hung up and have gone through the things on at school this week. It's another busy week for the smalls as well as me.

    Have wrote the uniform list needed - around £35 from Mr A will do the majority. Then shoes and coats needed no idea of the cost on costs and shoes. Will probably still to Asd@ for the majority. Last year's has lasted well and we do wash them everyday. I only buy one 'set' so it is used everyday too. DS will also need a couple of things for his residential as they only have 3 outfits of normal clothes anyway and he doesn't own joggers/shorts etc. Will have to have a good look in the charity shops/pr!mark and write a list.

    I'm feeling organised for the week ahead. Well as organised as can be.

    Hope you've all had a lovely weekend.

    Afternoon :)

    A new week and a new month :)

    Just having a cuppa before I clean the floors. Smalls in school and majority of my to do list is done. The weather's miserable today but I am not!

    Dinner tonight is 'use it up' pizza and salad. Using up all the random bits before getting some fresh bits tomorrow.

    Hope you all have a good week :)

    Hi Wannabe :) You sound chirpy today :D We've had salad with everything this weekend and I'm feeling very healthy for it :rotfl:.

    The weeks are flying by now aren't they. DS has a couple of things on at school that means he won't be in class, then there's a sponsored walk where they're only in half a day and of course the annual summer trip so not really many 'proper' school days left now for him. Bet the smalls have a lot on as well don't they.

    Have a lovely day. xx
