    Thanks V, I do find MOTs quite stressful.:)

    I have pegged out today and I would say the washing dried 80 odd %. Just going to air it over night. Got another 2 loads to peg out tomorrow. Can't wait........hehehe sad I know.:D

    Next week we need £60 to pay for childcare. Got another mammoth journey with sports club tomorrow.

    Have left the heating off the last few nights. Last night was a bit chilly but tonight it wasn't too bad. Must do meter readings!!!

    Sorry you're both feeling fragile. I hope you both have a lovely weekend. Feels like spring here and I've actually made inroads into the weed patch that my garden has become.

    Had a really mixed few days. Saturday night we had friends round, all very last minute. Ending up spending £28 in coop on food bits. We had the most fantastic night, I can't remember the last time I laughed that much....think the alcohol helped. The down side it took me all day Sunday to recover.....ooops.

    OH went to supermarket Sunday afternoon to get food bits for the week, spent £37. Have paid for childcare this week. Got more petrol. :(

    Did meter readings yesterday, current £76 debit. Have left heating off the last few nights but think may have to put it back on of the weather forecast is right.

    Had to do ironing last night due to my weekend antics.

    Me and OH back to normal....well whatever normal is for us.

    Still need to sort windscreen out. Cant wait for payday next week.

    It's a bit breezy today. Lol. Pegged out yesterday, dried a treat. Have been to sports club this morning. Took a flask, DS had £2 to get snacks, and had a go on the scratch card £1. OH and DS have just been and had their haircut £19.

    Had to get petrol yesterday, a prescription and some hair stuff. Need to send DS some money as well.

    Once I've thawed out going to get the housework done. Have pasta bake leftover for tea, will have some sausages as well as there is only a bit left.

    Forgot to mention one of the Bcard debts (old MBNA card) is down to £670. Paying £43 per month. I would like to over pay this one to get rid of it, but really need to get the emergency fund upto a reasonable amount.
