    Spent £3.00 on DS2 and DS3's football training tonight. Earlier on, spent £2.10 on football stickers, £2.27 on lunch and went to Tesco's to do some shopping which cost me £13.85...

    I am broke until tomorrow morning so had to spend my Clubcard vouchers which I'm annoyed about... :mad: I'll be glad when I get around to the CCCS appointment and sorting my money out. I always save up my vouchers and exchange them for deal tokens. I then take all the children to Longleat for the day which costs me £20 in Clubcard deals instead of £80 in admission. Today I spent £13.50 of vouchers which would have been £54 towards the day out. I'm a little bit sad about that and :mad: with myself.

    Ouch, expensive day today. My money went in yesterday so had to spend it while I still had it. Deep breath and ......

    Petrol £20.00, Football stickers £2.10, Stamps £2.04, Dressing ( for my bad heel ) £2.99 and £8.69 in Wilkinsons ( pick and mix £2.92 for the boys, two calculators for them at 99p each and deodorant and toothpaste for me )... then spent £3.47 on a 2008 diary to get my incoming monies organised. Off to football and £2.00 on the car park, £1.00 on a Bovril, £2.50 on a programme and £1.00 on a Golden Gamble.:eek: . Edited to add the £1.80 on two sausage rolls for DS3...I think I'll go to bed before I remember some more.

    Tomorrow will be £4.00 on DS2 and DS3's football training and nothing else....

    Spent more today than I intended to but to be honest, I don't care...:rolleyes:

    Twins won their football game 8-1 this afternoon and both of them scored. It's only the second time in 21 matches that's happened, proud dad watching too!! :j . I was naughty weekend dad and treated us all to a McDonalds ( £9.56 ) and some sweeties / football stickers ( £2.74 ) as well. They asked their mum if they could stay at my house and watch the football on TV tonight; she had to say "yes" really.....:D

    Diet went off the straight and narrow today but I did sell 13 of the newsletters today @ 50p each. I cough up for the production costs but donate all the sales to the club, should be around £50 by the end of the season.

    Had a little cry tonight when they went home but summer will be here soon. That means I'll see them Wed for four hours and Friday 3pm till Sunday at 4pm roughly which will be nice!

    Hi Duchy,

    That SOA is a little out-of-date and I do pay the CSA a sum every month. To be fair, it's being renegotiated at the moment as are all my outgoings so I'll re-do an SOA after the CCCS appointment.

    Maz,

    I kept the diary receipt as it only says "stationery" on the receipt so I'll claim it back somehow.

    I've started doing five mornings and three evenings worth of post runs this week until May 31st. The extra money will pay my friend off for the money I owed him when HB took so long to be settled. On Wednesday, I have a trip to London booked so that'll bring in the pennies.

    Today so far. Spent £7.07 on shopping and filled the car up with petrol ( £47.00 and 47 Clubcard points ).

    Come and join us on the lunch log challenge. It kinda makes you think about making packed lunches and bringing your own lunches more often. Not that i'm terribly succesful at it mind you!!!

    Well done on the london job... is it a each way job? or only one way?
