    All sounding good pwps, lunch out sounds lovely. I want to take the kids out over the holidays but everywhere is so packed as we're in a tourist town. Might find a little secret gem somewhere.

    Hope you have a good weekend, H x

    Thanks Huggle, hope you have a great weekend to.
    Hope you manage to get out somewhere with your kids, everywhere is so busy though.

    Thanks DFOD, chilled evening with DD watching TV which was lovely.
  • Morning.

    Payday yesterday and money shuffle done, will send £100 to mortgage when rent comes in later in the month.
    Food shop done yesterday and spent £125 so £25 over budget, did get some good meat offers so stocked up, hopefully next week will be cheaper although i have noticed food prices creeping up. 

    Had a puppy visit and she is growing fast, 2 weeks and we can bring her home, so excited. Bought some bits for her from pet store £26 spent, still need to get puppy pen, we have a cage from when our older dog was a pup so at least that's one thing we don't need to buy.

    Visiting family later today and we are there for tea, so that's one less thing to think about, DH and DS are both at work and DD has gone to her boyfriends for the weekend, so a nice quiet day just me and the dog.

     Decided to just send £100 to mortgage rather than wait. Redeemed a £5 amaz0n voucher and paid £9 off CC. Also a small top up shop at Mr S, spent £5.10.
    Going to do some baking shortly as DS seems to be eating everything in sight, just me and DD for tea tonight so easy tea shop bought pie and oven chips.
  • Morning.
    Received £5 amaz0n voucher so have bought puppy pen, cost me £20 after vouchers. No other money news and don't expect to spend anything else to day as i'm just pottering at home. Ebay is slow and not many surveys about but will keep plodding.
     Visiting gran tomorrow and taking her to see her sister who lives about 2 hours away, so will be gone all day and have told kids they can fend for themselves for the day.

  • Decided to send the £10 saved on the puppy pen to CC, then ordered puppy food and a waterproof mat to go on the floor of the puppy pen so spent another £19, but all budgeted for.

    Ooh exciting getting all the bits ready for puppy to come home! I bet you can't wait.

    I hope your visit to your Gran is ok today x

    Great payment to the mortgage, that will be my next plan after the debt is paid.
