    So Saturday is washing, cleaning a bit, helping DD with a school project whilst DS goes to a party.. DH wants to do a bit more work on the door and I'm hoping to persuade him to wash my car.

    Need to do a Mr T order later and also need to either do some work or coursework - both so thrilling, I can't decide between them!

    I may well stay in my PJ's ALL day today...

    Weekends are just as busy if not busier than in the week aren't they. I'm usually shattered by a Sunday evening. Hope you get to relax at some point!

    My wageslip arrived, so I've divvied up the pennies and have sent £41.75 to CC1, DH forgot to tell me the car service and tyre was a little more than we had budgeted, so that is at zero (again)

    Few pounds sent to CC3 so that it sitting at £885.81 (don't expect to make any more impact on that this month.

    £4 OP sent to the mortgage (sorry SJ - I'm one day early) so I've OP over £700 so far this year.

    £1.81 sent to CC5

    Bought some tickets to an event at Easter yesterday (naughty, but life does go on)

    Family loan money put aside and we are down to £6775.61 (hope to get that down to £6700 by next payday)

    Our trip at Easter is taking up some pennies, need to get the cat vaccinated and pay for the kennel bill, but also will try and be clever with the food budget so we can use a week's worth of the budget whilst away from home for the 5 days..

    School projects completed for both, will try and encourage them to finish the last task tomorrow and then we are done with homework until next term.. and I am really planning to make sure this family is back out again as of next weekend, feels like we have been stuck indoors forever with bugs, christmas and other things!

    Me and DH are still under the weather, I will have to go Docs if I don't kick this cough soon.

    No work done in the house as the party kinda wiped DH out. Kids have gone down really quick tonight as well. Sitting here with some choc ready for takeaway

    Happy Saturday night all!

    Three items sold on fleabay and ready to post tomorrow. Ironing done, done my coursework and work as well.

    Items to put on fleabay tonight, hot water on for an early afternoon bath for the littlies.

    Mothers day cards written and ready to post.

    I'm done!

    £10 withdrawn from P-pal from ebay sales..£5 sent to family loan pot, £2.00 sent to CC3 and CC5 and £1 in the OP pot (trying to do a little here and there) Will update figures for CC5 when they do as I've also had Mr T delivery and sent over just over £1 extra as well.. difficult to keep track of this one as we still use it for daily spending on fuel and food.. but it is going down a £1 at a time.

    Shopping came in at £51.99 (so £3.01 under budget this week)

    Spent the evening planning our trip to London.. £18 forked out for parking at the hotel, but necessary.. plan is to do free museums and see some of the sights, but not planning for a manic weekend as we will all just be grumpy.. few bits came with the Mr T delivery as I'm going to try to limit the food bill as much as possible whilst we are there..

    Reminds me, must get the cat booked in for his vaccinations!

    Evening DF0D,

    Sounds like you're all organised!!

    You really should get yourself booked in at the drs re your cough. I made my DH go again after having the cough weeks and weeks and they've been given him some antibiotics now. He's feeling loads better.
    If it was the kids you'd have had them back there by now so make sure you go!!!

    xx
