Hi all,
Just to let you all know, we got the programme re-accredited. All is well. I've had a g&t. Going to bed. Knackered,

Well done NK I hope you have a nice restful weekend planned.
Hope you are ok Collie.

Well done NK

Hope the inhaler works for you collie

Other than £90 tip for the removers, NSD. Tomorrow we are going to friends for dinner and I'm prepping a starter to take so will need to buy ingredients.

Well done NK.
2.50 on tights and £14 in home bargain on birthday bits. Need to do a fresh food shop at the weekend

The birds woke me up! Should be nsd today. Off to work and that's about it. Got paid and ctc but nothing spare after bills.

Happy Friday everyone! Should be NSD and DH did the shopping for just over £40 - I'm impressed! Just need to buy 3-4 things they didn't have tomorrow.

Hurrah for Friday. Shattered.

£4 for beavers and that's it today unless I squeeze in half an hour to go to morrisons for food.
Forgot I spent £6 ish in the range yesterday on Pyrex dishes as my small ones were broken

£8 yesterday on fruit at market. Couldn't resist a bag of gorgeous cherries

Thanks all! Had quite a few well done emails and text messages from various people including some important ones, so am basking a little now. Slept properly for the first time last night. I think I must have had a strickened look on my face coz people kept telling me to relax!!

Had a lovely day out yesterday, DH treated us to a hotel in London, but it meant an early start to get back to get DC ready for school.

I had about £50 yesterday and it has all gone. £7 on a cab to the station and the same back this morning. DH bought me 2 cardigans in Muji (plus knickers for the unexpected stay) £74, I paid £14, DH the rest. Grabbed a toothbrush and paste, plus hairbrush, about £10, nit sure where the rest went, bottle of water etc.

I did have a frugal win yesterday, while looking for the spare key in DS's bag, I found £5 I'd given him when doing the show in case he needed to buy food, plus I found the envelope the dancing school give them with their "lunch" money reimbursement of £9 (2 days worth), however, that was spent yesterday,

Don't you just love it Audit when you find an unexpected stash somewhere!

They were delicious Collie, huge and really sweet. Shame they're so expensive

Glad you slept NK and collie

I sent DDs to school with money for packed lunches, turns out 1 has had a couple that haven't been paid for so had to pay that today. My head has been too full lately to keep track of things but now that the container has gone to port and the dogs are organized I feel relaxed. We still need to complete on the house in the UK though.

Well done on that shopping Pointless. All I'll say about my DH is he had a small audiance a few weeks ago when I told him we don't need to spend a bloody tenner on heavy duty rubbish bags.

Today's soend so far, £4.50.
Yay!!!

Phoned sky, and they have reduced by bills by £20. Not bad for 10 minute phone call.:)

Now for the crap, HB, gone down from 66.04 to 52.66.
FFS :( :(.

Nsd.

Tomorrow will be spendy as off to London for convert in Hyde park then staying over. Was going to be more expensive but friend is driving so saving £50 on the train.

Not sure if there are any ROI posters or lurkers here but this week's Sunday independent has €10 off €50 lidl voucher as well as €10 off aldi voucher!

Hope there's a good date like Sun week & I might buy two papers!

Its Friiiiiiiiiiiiiday Woo Hoo!!

And its all the more exciting that is it pay day

So my account is back in the black, plus got my millage etc so should in theory be a slightly easier month to manage. That said I have my car service and MOT coming up which is always a tense time!!

Also my beloved camera died, will be £70 to fix so am thinking probably not worth it. Pretty gutted as I loved that camera! Anyway have any of you got a recommendations on a decent but not stupidly expensive camera? Am thinking less than £150 ish.....

Ooh! I just realised I must have been paid today too! That means it's time to pay nursery again though.
Would have had another NSD if a lad at school hadn't persuaded me to sponsor him a pound for something.
Very tired, going to make panir tikka salad (my veggie version of the chicken one in Jamie Oliver's 15 mins book) open a nice cold beer and watch tv. I'm easily pleased these days!

Oh spends today were low £1.60 on a drink and bar of chocolate for me, 90p on sweets for dd and my nephew.
