That's annoying collie our band c is £132 a month over ten months.

£11.25 at the play farm got ds in free
£3.25 on a drink and ice cream

Hello all, spendy day got a few to confess

may have spent £22 on Boden, however got 3 items for that which were 60% off and free p&P. But was naughty as dd really doesn't need more clothes!

Been into town spent £7.50ish in Wilkos on toiletries, caddy bags and dishwasher tablets.

£5 in Primark in 2 t.shirts, realised when I got home that had picked up the wrong size!

Another £9 in m&s on knickers for dd and lunch for me!

However did go and sort out my mobile, am on a sim only now for £9.99 a month which is much better than the £18 or so I was paying. Need to ring customer services about my BB though as first bill thats come out is def more than I was expecting! Why are these things never straight forward?

Was planning on meeting a friend for tea with the kids but have suggested they come here instead so will save a bit of money there I guess.

I love all posts here however random or mundane they might seem to poster they will help or inspire others. ..lurkers please post

When is Laska back from Holiday? She seems to of been gone ages

My Amazon stuff had turned up when I got home today, very exciting! Camera looks good, also got my adult colouring book and dds lego sets which I need to squirrel away somewhere. Oh and i nearly forgot I actually won a lego set from posting on a mn thread I was ridiculously excited - i never win anything!!

Your dd will be thrilled with the Lego sets girlie. Boden sells really well on eBay anyway so you can always make a bit back on it. Have you used the camera yet?.

I think laskas holiday is quite long. At least she's not from Germany. I can't imagine German tourists are very popular in Greece right now.

Yes I think she will Fluffy as well! Yeah have always managed to resell most of her Boden stuff so its not too bad really.

Hope laska is having a fab time (and took lots of money out with her!!)

Signed up for the Cheese on Orchard - has anyone else done this?

£13.50 in Matalan on underwear for DS - this is how exciting my life is!!

I haven't received an email from orchard for ages. Need to look into that.

Hi everyone , can I join? DH and I seem to fritter money away on something I haven't quite identified yet. And we need to save up for some necessary home improvements.

I had an NSD today; DH spent £2,200 . Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

I should add that DH's spending was also necessary , it wasn't a stealth boast!

Hello all! A lurker here popping her face in!
I need to get in on these NSD's. It's the odd coffee here or the magazine for the children that all add up!

Welcome to you both
I seem to recall Laska was going for 3 weeks.
NSD here, lasagne in oven made with left over veggie Bolognese and made spicy butternut squash wedges to go with it to use up half a squash. Looking forward to it, I adore lasagne!
Am exhausted and my knee hurts. Going to eat dinner, wash hair, do meal plan for next week then try to get to bed early.

It's official I am debt free.
Which means NO mortgage!!!!!

So the question remains, what do I do with my money???

Well done Evil. You must feel great tonight.

Buy to let house?.

I got 20k, and I'm in a rented at the moment. My salary is 12500 per annum, and I'm on benifits.

So council house?
Or
Another mortgage?

Will it count as better than an NSD if I count the change in my change bowl?

That's great Evil! Which way do you think you'd prefer to go?

I really want a lasagne now - I'm going to add that to next weeks meal plan!

tea well I'm not sure, I'd think I'd prefer a council place as then I can pop the money into DS saving account.

HA is the safer option I think Evil. Where are you though? You could buy a three bedroom house in Wales for £30k

I live in the SW, property here is amazingly expensive. Most 3 beds are quarter of a million. If you have a view it's a load more.

Thanks London!!!!

Hi tea and out.
Well done evil and collie.
Nsd number 3.

Evil are there any shared ownership properties near you? Thats my plan, you buy say 50% and then pay some rent on the other 50%. Are you looking to go back to work?

Welcome outwith and tea
