  • Good Morning Diary,
    Thank you for all the lovely messages :)
    DFOD, yes there is! Theres a line up already!!!!! Im using the drier at the moment due to the weather but it is so much easier to access now its in the kitchen and not the garage!
    So its pay day today (5 days early) and ive been moving money round already. Paid the girls their spending money too. They are the new dishwashers :D
    Plans for today are just waiting in for the gas engineer this morning who is doing the annual checks. Iceland are bringing a small delivery too then just need to take DD2 to her dads work so that she can get her phone back.
    I do need to do a small Mr Al's shop at some point this week too, but im not feeling it today!!!!!
    Happy Monday all xx

  • Good Evening Diary,
    Had a busy day today. Had a couple of appointments this morning and then went to fill my car up (£44) and then to Mr Al's for a shop. It was absolutely horrendous in there, people everywhere, one couple moved my trolley out of the way right in front of me! I wasn't best pleased! £77 spent in there. Then a further £28 in B&M. Went hunting for new bf's dads wine he likes. Found in B&M of all places! Also bought a battery operated lamp for my bedroom and a few other bits. Thats it, no more spending now. Well I literally need some sausages and chicken from the butchers but will decide tomorrow if I nip out or not! I think I need a day in!!!
    I have just applied for a zero fare pass for the girls. They told me nearly everyone on their new bus has one so decided to apply. I think its because their school is on a unsafe walking route from home so worth a shot for 5 minutes filling out. If they get it it will save me £80 a month on bus fares!!!!! Fingers crossed.
    Hope all ok xx
