    Morning all:)

    £6.66 in interest over the last few day to the house fund and £1.21 TT'd to the travel fund.

    Been busy couple of days. I got a new puppy 'Harry' and it's a bit mad in the house right now while everyone adjusts to a new family member. He is a 16 week old Jackapoo. I have booked him in for his 2nd injection next week and also our other Jackapoo 'Millie' in for her booster.

    Yesterday was spent working on the garden (making sure it was all ok for the new puppy) and also lots of playing with the dogs:)

    It is DS3 birthday today...he is 17 :eek: Tonight's dinner will be pizza which is his choice, and birthday cake for pudding:D That will then complete my hefty round of birthdays until the end of the year and normal spending can resume:) DS3 is still asleep so no present opening has happened yet :rotfl:

    Out of freezer:

    1st - one bag of yorkies, small pack mini sausages
    2nd - one pack yorkies, pack pastry, raspberries, stewed apples
    3rd - one bag chicken breasts
    4th - one bag chicken breasts, 4 gammon steaks
    5th - half bag chips, pizza
    6th - one loaf bread
    7th - One whole chicken, one gammon joint, 4pts milk

    Freezer stocks seem to be going down very slowly! Roast dinner tomorrow and I need to do a fridge check and make sure that I am aware of everything that needs using up so there is no waste.

    Lots of visitors due again today so won't get an awful lot done, but plenty of time over the rest of my holiday:)

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Morning:)

    A £1 TT, £2.89 FC ISA interest and £7.55 dividend from my SIPP shares to add to the pot this morning:) It all adds up:T

    DS3 had a fab birthday and loved his retro record player and the 45's I had bought for him. He got some birthday money so we will be looking for some more singles to add to his collection. Lots of cake and pizza eaten!

    Now all the birthdays are out of the way I can get back to normal routines:)

    Roast dinner planned for today, leftover pizza will be shared out for lunch.

    Nothing out of freezer yet today, but will expect to need a few bits later today. The upright freezer is starting to empty as bread and milk gets used up. It has been 6 days since our last food shop, and as yet we don't need anything. I will probably pick up more bread/milk before I go to London on Wednesday.

    I need to write myself a list of jobs to get back on track. We have had so many visitors over the last week and a half, with three birthdays that I feel like I haven't got much done at all! At least the washing is up to date:D

    I shall have another cuppa, feed the dogs, take Millie out for her walk, then crack on with the day:)

    Have a lovely Sunday x

    Oh wow they are adorable!

    Glad the birthday went well and your ds enjoyed himself, perhaps he should get out searching at bootsales when the weather picks up for records, mine like doing that sometimes (as well as looking for ancient video games and consoles).

    Have a great Sunday with your new pup :D
