Just having a quick cuppa before hanging out some more washing and getting another load of ironing done, managed to get quite a bit done, have put off doing some things in the house as its to nice to be indoors and they can wait until this evening.

Finances are all over the place and need to have a sit down and proper look at what is left to go in/out this month. Also havn't done paypal yet as I have a few items still not paid for and some items on ebay ending tonight so i'm putting it off until later. Hopefully I will have £30ish for each pot which is holiday, kitchen and DS school trip.

Morning.

Up early as my hayfever has kicked, I only get it for a couple of weeks and I'm convinced there is something in the woodland close to the house that sets it off as I never used to get it at my previous home so it must be a particular tree/plant pollen that does it.

Still feeling anxious and overwhelmed, i'm ready for half term week and having a quiet week at home when I can get on top of things.
First load of washing has been hung out, 2nd load is in and dishwasher is on doing its job.

Couple of freebies in the post this week, shampoo, face scrub and a pair of socks. Couple of ebay sales this week but to be honest I have been rubbish at listing and really need to get on with it. Redeemed a £10 amazon voucher from a survey site which meant I had enough to order a new duvet for DD, just need to save enough for DS now.
Haemorrhaging money at the moment, lots of birthdays, a retirement do, had to buy DS some new school trousers but did get these off ebay, DD needed some revision books, DS needed some School PE kit (wish this boy would stop growing). I have cancelled my veg box for next week and I have a grocery delivery coming tomorrow, hopefully I will have enough food in the freezer/cupboards to see us through half term week and will only need a small top up shop.

Going to try and watch bits of the royal wedding today, will use the time to multi task and catch up with some surveys.

Oh dear 10 days since I last posted,really not doing well on keeping up with things.

Glad to have got to the end of month as it has been incredible spendy and has meant very little has been saved, on a positive my bank account is in the black but my car has gone in for its MOT today I'm hoping it comes in under £100, also have had some much needed work done on the house and i'm waiting for the invoice for that which will be around £250.
Also spent £12 on a top up shop this morning when I went to the PO and then went or hay for DD pony and that was another £20.
Going to look at some kennels for dogs tomorrow for when we go on hols at the end of August, they want a deposit of £30, balance isn't due until we go away which gives me some breathing space.
SO buy the time payday comes around i'm going to be skint again.

Loving being off work this week as the weather is spectacular, i'm even starting to get a bit of a tan, we are off to B£amish later in the week with the kids just hope the weather is as good up there as it is here.

Not much else going on, lots of revision happening as both DS and DD have exams when they go back to school. i'm just waiting for a new month to start so I can concentrate on my goals, fingers crossed it's a frugal month and not a spendy month like this one.
