December Debt Destruction!!!

Good Evening Everybody..


I have had one seriously busy and slightly frustrating day! Coming home from work I was updating my other thread and went straight passed my stop - had to wait a mere 4 minutes for a return journey but it all made me a little annoyed. Secondly this week has been exceptionally busy.. so much so I have had NO time to get to Tescos.. meaning I went to the local Tesco Express...I hate them!..

I live in a well to-do area. I am not well to-do. The house I currently reside in is a whopping great £450,000 region, we have a jacuzzi in the garden, a massive living room that is stone cold, a large kitchen etc etc... HOWEVER my landlady ( henceforth referred to as LL ) is more of a penny pincher than me, I have used the Jacuzzi twice, the heating is only on to take the chill out of the rooms and she has been at it longer, is much better and is super savvy. However we hate the fact that the Mr T clearly seems to think we are made of money so it super expensive...AND worst still my favourite cheese puffs and onion rings have risen from 95p to £1.04.. NOT HAPPY!!

Anyhoo... I am on my walking weekend commencing tomorrow after work. Having got off my train at around 1800 I have trudged through Mr T and Costcutter to see which is cheaper, getting home I have made lunches for the next three days as I refused to pay for "pre-packed youth hostel" lunches whereby one receives soggy sandwiches and a manky orange... sandwiches for the evenings train journey to the Cotswolds.. sorted out moggy with fresh food and litter, moved my poor injured Hercules ( the m/bike) to a safer place, packed my rucksack with survival goodies, had a lovely shower and now I am wrapped up in thermal socks, hot water bottle, cat and many blankets... and I am shattered..

The point of my essay.. I spent at least £15 on what I would class as "wastage food"... I needed sweeties for the weekend, crisps and yoghurts ( 50p each?????), I got lovely bread for 56p though, reduced tomatoes and baby cucumbers, and reduced peppers...they sell NO EVERYDAY VALUE in this store and I walked home seething... Everyone knows the 7 P's.. and I just couldn't fit in a run to Tesco at all... I am going to be SUPER strict in my last week...

I will have exact figures available for viewing, scrutinising tomorrow as I am too tired to number crunch right now.. I am just so angry with myself and yes I will suitable punish myself ... When I return on Sunday from this walk I have 5 days of work, followed by two days of weekend overtime ( only 1 guaranteed at the moment), Monday at work then home to Ireland on the Tuesday.. I need to not buy any more food as I will get back and have 3 days of the month left until payday...

Money had been put away for this weekend so some money will come from that for the food but still.... GRR!!:mad::mad::mad:

Well I shall say Lilt your NSD has been declared official and has been granted. Well done on your explanations... was the exercise baby-bicep curls?..baby- deadlifts? That's a lot anyway but make sure you don't try and get it all done in one day on purpose.. gotta break it up and give your heart and lungs a shock. Either way well done... hope you didn't have to go outside to exercise..

PurpleJay I got that Mediterranean cous cous as well from AP - drove me nuts after the first four packets. Eugh! You could donate some...ahem...we won't tell anyone... but yes its very easily cooked and reheated.. sesame oil is good for stir fries and noodles..with a little chilli and garlic.. You could dress it up and have it along side the nut roast ( much better than meat )...nom nom nom..

Abundant I am certainly a miser...My current mood is happy though, because I am making a difference to ME... hope you feel better soon. Yes try the garlic... although you might feel proper queazy afterwards...

GelMC everything happens for a reason. You are on the right path and my thoughs are with you in your application for p/t work however I would be surprised should your boss not see how Psych will assit you in your everyday job anyway..she should be clapping her hands.... and you are not the only one that mentions I have a battle cry. I should get one penned to throw in here now and then...:rotfl:

Polly were you nearly a Polly popsicle..?..:rotfl:

Right to everyone else if I have missed you I am sorry but I will catch you in the next few posts... Searching well done for not buying tat..:)

I am going to fall asleep listening to the rain...

Onwards and Upwards...
