Hello all.
Busy week back at work and totally shattered, also had my birthday this week.
So i have received some lovely presents for my birthday, flowers,wine, smellies lots of chocolates and money/gift cards which i will use as and when needed, have spent £30 already on some new pj's and a tunic top. I received a £5 birthday voucher from hotel chocolate and the body shop, so have used them to get some free bits.
Finances are ticking along ok, made a small ebay sale and received £15 from a survey site so have sent £20 to CC2, Grocery shop this morning and £70 spent and didn't seem to have a huge amount, suppose that's how it is at the moment.
Have a good weekend xx0 -

Morning all.
Up with the lark this morning and have already got a few jobs done, dogs have been fed and walked, chickens sorted. Load of washing washed and put on line and 2nd load in, Dh made a yummy cooked breakfast which will probably keep me going until teatime. Received a wildflower planter for my birthday so have planted the seeds and put it out in the garden, also planted another pot up with some bee friendly seeds that i found in a drawer, Sowed some lettuce leaves trying to do this every couple of weeks, we eat loads during the warmer months. I was given a bunch of rhubarb yesterday so have stewed it all up and put into tubs to freeze later once cool.
Plans for the rest of the day is more washing, clean the bathroom, I have a couple of bits to go ebay so need to get motivated to do that.Dog training later as well. Not sure who is in for tea apart from me and DH, DS went out last night to watch the Tyson fight and probably won't appear until at least lunchtime and i'm not sure if he is at work and DD is at her boyfriends.
Finances are ticking along, payday Friday so just feels like the end of the month slump.
Have a great day xx
