    Thanks for the messages and it was good news about the car.

    Well it has been another couple of busy days and I am at work again today but this is the last day until Tuesday now. So this weekend I will be catching up on loads of jobs and sorting the house out.

    So list of things to do this weekend:
    - Tip run
    - Sort out sheets and duvet covers and put away nicely
    - Cut the grass (front and back)
    - Weed the borders and pots
    - Weed the front path and back path
    - Reply to tax credit letter
    - Sort CV for DD1
    - Do letter for nursery
    - Tidy middle floor of house
    - Clean bathrooms
    - Tidy garage
    - List more items for sale on FB
    - Send off phone to CEX
    - Chase Ex's repayment from HMRC
    - Sort out kids clothes and see if they need anymore clothes for holiday

    Right I think that's it. At least two of the kids will be going to their dad's Saturday until Sunday and the two youngest will go to my ex on Sunday for the day so I should be able to get a load done. I need to find time for myself to relax as well as I can feel myself getting tired.

    Thanks beanie, I do like to challenge myself!! To be fair some bits will be done quite quickly and I am at home tomorrow with the little ones so I will try and do some of the list tomorrow like the sheet and the paperwork type ones.

    My gardens are quite small so cutting the grass should be a half hour job at most.

    I might even do a couple of the bits today whilst I am at work if I get my work done quickly enough!! ;)

    [STRIKE]- Sort out sheets and duvet covers and put away nicely[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]- Cut the grass (front and back)[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]- Weed the borders and pots[/STRIKE]

    - Reply to tax credit letter - started a reply online, I need to scan or photograph my documents next
    - Sort CV for DD1

    So today I have done a bit more but this afternoon I was shattered and just fell asleep!

    - Tip run
    [STRIKE]- Sort out sheets and duvet covers and put away nicely[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]- Cut the grass (front and back)[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]- Weed the borders and pots[/STRIKE]
    - Weed the front path and back path
    - Reply to tax credit letter - started a reply online, I need to scan or photograph my documents next
    - Sort CV for DD1
    -[STRIKE] Do letter for nursery [/STRIKE]
    -[STRIKE] Tidy middle floor of house[/STRIKE] - Done and hoovered
    - Clean bathrooms - cleaned two now, only one left to do
    - Tidy garage
    - List more items for sale on FB
    - Send off phone to CEX
    - Chase Ex's repayment from HMRC
    - Sort out kids clothes and see if they need anymore clothes for holiday

    So tomorrow I will tidy and clean the top floor of the house and will try and do the weeding as the weather has been too horrible today to be outside gardening. I also need to do a tip run tomorrow as I keep putting that off!

    In non money saving news I have been having a down day, I have no idea why, just feeling sorry for myself. I know in my head that I don't want my ex back but I can't seem to make my heart feel the same. It's so hard and for some reason this afternoon I felt so lonely. I need something to distract me and housework just doesn't do that lol.

    Right enough of the depressing talk, I need to give myself a kick up the bum!

    It is the sunshine, and all that bare flesh that does it.

    Exes tend to be exes for a reason.

    Keeping a man has costs -monetarily or emotionally.

    Hope you feel cheerier this morning. Sorry you are feeling lonely.

    You need to sort you out before going down that path.
