hi SM:wave:

but there are plenty of weeks to go.....:)

im glad the camping trip isnt until week 4 as they usually have had enough of being at home by then!

Jamie if you are short of any gear for camping asda are doing 25% off outdoor stuff this week. I bought my DS a three man tent, with two camping chairs, two sleeping bags and a lantern for £32 - bargain!!! Disposable barbeques are reduced too and other outdoor stuff including some kids toys.

JAMIEDODGER

cheers SM:)

i have loads of camping gear and quietly confess to owning 4 tents:D

so......day 35!

yesterday i managed not to spend anything again:D going to try and get away with only buying milk today. no bills are due out which is great!

Morning JD, glad to hear things seem to be going so well. Im doing ok too - finally sorted tax credits out and although they have dropped quite a bit still got a useable budget to work off for the next 12 months now until next renewal...

JAMIEDODGER

thanks dotty. still need to get lots of school uniform so august will be expensive and we also have our camping trip too.

glad your tax credits have been sorted, what a relief!

Verbatim

Bet you're looking forward to your holiday now JD. Where are you going?

Well done on the NSDs.

DA did you manage your F&F?

JAMIEDODGER

hi all. the madness of the summer holidays is nearly over, my kids go back on thursday. dd starts school for the first time, which means that is my last one off to school!!!

havent really posted during the hols as it has been manic, but i am now trying to get my self back into a routine (ie i set the alarm clock for 6.30 this morning lol) kids are still upstairs but i can hear some movement.

financially this are doing ok. have nearly paid my mum off:) will be paying the last of that this month and then start paying back my dad from october!!! hopefully will all be paid off by december:)

have bought a few xmas prezzies so pleased with that.

having my new kitchen put it, courtesy of housing !!!, third week of sept:D hopefully i will have saved enough by then to buy my new fridge. my fridge is in the shed atm as is too big for my very small kitchen, so need to buy a small fridge to fit in once kitchen has been done. that will make trips to the old fridge in the dark and rain s thing of the past:D

anyways, hope everyone is doing ok?

off to get kids up now...wicked mother i am lol

Verbatim

Nice to have you back JD.

How did the camping go? Hope it wasn't too wet.

JAMIEDODGER
