Abba1772's Debt Free Diary

Afternoon :hello:

Sorry I wasn't on yesterday between working, my daughters 15th and a hospital appointment for my floor I was literally run off my feet :rotfl

Yesterday was a spendy day £4.50 for playgroup then took Abbie to a ceiling obstacle course in Glasgow £42 and gave Kk and hubby £10 for the arcades as hubby is scared of heights then Abbie picked a Chinese buffet for dinner that was £55 :eek: have had to dip into the back up fund but I guess that's what it's for

Today has been busy had to phone in sick for hubby who had a dizzy turn this morning so he went back to sleep at 6am and I had to stay awake so I could phone his work at 7am :mad: so I got up and cleaned the kitchen out which is spotless

Started work at 9.30am, was out the door for 10am took the kids to homebaragains ans spent just under £10 on kitchen roll, two bottomless of irn bru, flavoured water for the kids, fairy non bio and a sealed tin for half of abbies birthday money which she's saving for Florida :T

Then took the kids to our local sports centre which had softplay and bouncy castles for £11.60........not bad for four kids :T then a trip to Greggs for lunch spent £4.10 on sausage rolls and steals bakes foe the kids and then we were off to an arts and crafts section in the town centre and kids made minecraft related art work and got to meet Steve from minecraft

Had to nip into savers and get hubby his cough medicine which is rotten £3.99 then Xander wanted to go into GAME as he wanted a Pokemon bag for going back to school so that's another thing off my list :T £24.99 so just abbies shoes to get, another packet of shirts for her and pencils etc and that us set for school

Walked home and kids are playing Disney infinity as they are absolutely knackered :T and I'm having a drink :rotfl:

Hubby feels better so he's away to fix his friends works van and service his wife's car then he's going to bed for a early night......in fact we all are and I'm bushed

Got a surveyor on PA today for a whooping 20p :rotfl: still waiting on my £50.40 hitting my circle account seems to be taking ages :mad:...........yes I'm impatient :rotfl:

Hubby gets a pay packet on Friday :T thank god :rotfl: it's been a long two weeks but we've made it plus I should have a nice amount to sent to the Halifax card soon

We've decided that we Are clear inv the debt pronto ..........we have £175 in the holiday fund, this will be used for the deposits for the theme park tickets which is £150 for the 6 of us then I'll use the remaining £25 to go towards my table fund complete with my survey money of £75 this leaves £125 to find for my new dining room table if I can't get it cheaper elsewhere e.g. Gumtree so any money hubby gets for homers will be put towards the table fund and the rest towards the debt, still hoping to get Halifax card under the £3k mark by the end of the month as I'm wanting it gone

He's much better thanks just needed rest........well kind of :rotfl: he did a homer handed me £40 :T so it'll get split between debt and table fund :T he's got another homer sitting in my driveway :rotfl:

You do have some busy days Abba, but sounds like you had fun.

It's a good little side business your DH has there. He always seems busy.

We do have fun...........that's why I love my job, it's hard work but so rewarding xx

We were going to go to the cinema today for the kids club to see Lego batman which would have cost me £15 but decided we are nipping to Asda so I can buy the DVD and I'll buy popcorn and we will come back to mine and have a cinema day in the house therefore saving me pennies :T

Hubby still not well he's under strict orders to get his bottom to the doctors as he's never taken two days of sick in a row :eek: it money we honestly couldn't afford to lose but we will be ok we always are

Working 8.30am til 3.30pm today so not too bad of a shift

Got a washing on the line waiting for kid s to wake up so I can get another in the machine a sling don't want to go into their room and wake them up as they are having a lie in

Need to get bread whilst I'm at Asda and a couple of weight watcher meals for tonight and that should be it for spends today :T

Avon delivery tomorrow managed to accrue £424 in orders means I get £97 commission :T I'll take that again it'll get split in the middle

Have a couple of pairs of kks shoes to put on fb selling pages clarks And van shoes so didn't want to just chuck them or charity shop pile the next so whatever I get for the. Will be getting put straight to the debt

Itching to decluttering don't know why but it's there so need to find something to clear out to satisfy it otherwise whatever isn't pinned down will be getting sold :rotfl:

Hope you all have a lovely day as the sun is shining in sunny Scotland right now............for now :rotfl:
