It’s been over a week (10 days to be exact) since I last posted. To be quite honest with you I just haven’t had the motivation to think about posts lately. But I thought today I might send you all an update and let you know what I have been up to.

I had hoped to have all my Christmas shopping over and done with by the 1st December. I’m not sure how I am going to go with that. So far I only have a few present for the kids. Unless I really pull my finger out and get a heap done next week I don’t like my chances of having it all done by Dec 1st. I do however have wrapping paper, so I can at least get it wrapped as I buy it, instead of saving it all up and having a mammoth gift wrapping session on Christmas Eve (I hate that!).

We have settled into the new house and it now feels like we have been here for years. I am excited to spend Christmas here. We have promised the kids that we will put up the Christmas tree and lights on the outside of the house this weekend, so that should get us all in the Christmas spirit.

Rob is still looking for a job, he is getting quite worried that he won’t have a job before Christmas. I don’t mind if he doesn’t though, I’d like him to be able to come to the kids end of year presentation days and things for a change.

With Rob out of work I have been trying to save money. I’ve been doing little things that have helped to save us money over the last month. I’ve stopped buying biscuits and have been baking cakes and biscuits for the kids to take to school. I’ve been making my own yoghurt and I’ve been watching the shops specials and stocking up when I see a good bargain. I know that there is much more that I could be doing but it’s a start :)
