    thanks guys for the support on the job front:)

    have a quietish day today.... need to go to tescos and to the post office to send off orders but thats it. i may do paperwork this morning or a trip to the library?? free parking!!

    this morning my rent and mobile bill have come out of my account so apart from groceries which i will pay for by cc+ as the money is already on there, I hopefully wont spend anything else.

    i have been reading an interesting blog, http://www.thesimpledollar.com in fact there is so much to read on there I havent even touched the surface on it!

    i hope it is going to be dry today as I have so much laundry to get through!!!

    morning:)

    spent within my £50 budget in tescos yesterday,

    Breakdown:

    Cleaning - 67p
    Toiletries - 7.28
    Food - 30.28

    I still have over a fiver on cc+ but have bought all I need for this week so I will probably bulk buy a good offer next week with the extra money:)

    Nothing has come out of the bank today just a credit in. I set up 3 new standing orders on the account yesterday to pay money directly into savings and off debt, these will start from next week. The more automated my accounts are the easier I find it!!

    Off to slimming club this morning.....hopefully I will have lost something this week:)

    I have parents meeting for dd at lunchtime to see how she has settled in at school. I think she is enjoying it although she still likes to make a fuss when I leave her!

    morning!

    really looking forward to my meal out tonight with the girls but i dont expect to lose any weight this week lol

    had all my hair cut off yesterday. about 10 inches!!!!! now have a much more manageable style.

    beanie lou - i think the dates are always different for school holiday. its only a week though and they will all be back.

    made my payment a day this morning. have also set up another couple of s/o starting soon. I am aiming on making as much of my banking automatic as possible.

    a lazyish day due here, mainly washing and housework. will venture out for 10 mins this morning to go to the post office but that will be it until this evening!

    Had a great time last night:) Went to Cafe Rouge with two friends and used my clubcard deals vouchers. You couldnt pay for drinks with them I just had a couple of cokes. The food was amazing! We had 3 courses each. My friend drove us, then we took the car back to her house afterwards and got a taxi into town. Went to the club (£7 to get it !!!!) a few drinks and then taxi home. Total spent including babysitter: £43.40:D Very cheap for everything we did and the sitter was £20 of that!

    I must admit I didnt feel much like drinking as I was so full from the food, so saved a hangover too:D

    Wont be doing much today as weather is ghastly!!! Just going to chill out with the kids.
