  • DAY 2 (a day late:o).

    Lovely family day out yesterday and although we were spending Christmas money we all managed to come home with some, I spent £80 of mine and got some lovely clothes, still have £70 left and didn't find any jeans that fit me properly so that's going to be an ongoing task :(.Spent £50 on lunch out for the 4 of us which came from the entertainment budget.

    Made a TT of 23p yesterday and also sold a BIN on 3bay which has netted me £10 for the savings pot, also redeemed a £16 amazon voucher from a survey site.

    Decluttered a eyeshadow compact as I had used up the colours I liked and was left with dark shades I don't wear,no idea why I was hanging onto it, anyway its now in the bin.
  • Today is a quiet stay at home day, DD has a friend coming round this afternoon to stay over, DH is out this evening at his sports club and i'm just planning on pottering and cleaning. No idea what DS is doing.

    Off work for a week now so going to do a list and hopefully work through it whilst I'm off. Went rummaging in the freezer for tea and found a cheese quiche to have, not had that for ages but really enjoyed it. Going to start decluttering as well but need to take all the Xmas recycling to the recycling centre first otherwise I'll probably need to hire a van for the stuff I'll have.PWPS you have done well with your list.xx

  • Well done on all your your things on the to do list, and nice meal plan - any spares can be sent my way!

    One thing I've found about jeans is that they go soft really quickly, perhaps I'm just buying cheap pairs but they don't seem to be the same material as I used to get when I was youner.

    Hope you've had a good day, H x
