    Well im still alive, shattered, but alive. Kids didnt go to sleep until gone 2 :eek: Then woke up at 7:eek: They all seemed to have fun, well i hope they did.

    Not going to be up to much today, just tidying (dont ever give kids silly string and party poppers) I have already hovered twice but theres little bits everywhere. Going to have a look at budgets and meal plans. And thats about it, MIGHT be a NSD, but i really fancy a glass of wine tonight (after all my hardwork last night:o )

    Will probily be on here for a while too :p

    Hi Nats,

    They got through a whole loaf of bread! Couldnt quite believe they were still that hungry and found the huge bag of sweets id hidden in the cupboard!

    Well today was a NSD. Didnt get a bottle of wine, maybe tomorrow instead. Havent really got a lot done at all. Will empty and reload the washing machine an put a loaf in the breadmaker overnight.

    Still havent looked at budgets too much - its scary at the moment.

    I hope this has spaced out properly, ive tried editing this 3 times now, but it wont save the spaces. Ive gone over this month, mainly because i gave my dad £100 which wasnt budgeted for. Also i need to amended/change the figures around as my train fare went up at the begining of the month.

    I will be back tomorrow to post what debts ive paid and the plan of attack for February.

    Hello!!!!

    I love the snow!!! No work today as i cant get in, have already been up since 6 with DS, been to the park and are now home in PJ's getting warm. Gonna spend the day clearing and sorting all this washing, theres 3 bags under the bed :eek:

    Budgets are going to plan, need to post my totals for Jan on debt paid and fine tune Febs budgets, have already done quite a big shop for the month, £52 in asdas, not to bad, stocked up on washing bits and tinned stuff.

    So just going to enjoy pottering around today and catching up with bits i didnt do over the weekend.

    I REALLY DO LOVE SNOW

    Well managed to get into work today, grabbed a lift with dad so saved £2.60.

    I was hoping for more snow, yesterday was an excellent day with DS. We were the first ones in the park and it was so pretty.

    DS is at the childminders today and there no school so thats an extra £15 on childcare, plus the half term hols are coming up so i need to budget for that.

    Got a bit done yesterday, still not fine tuned my budget for Feb yet though.

    Best go back to work, gotta catch up on yesterday now!
