Puzz tries again.. this time with claws... My DMP Journey. I will get debt free...

So last night I got a text from StepChange informing me they hadn't received my paperwork yet and to call if any problems.. so kind. So I have spoken to them this morning and advised it will all be sent out at the end of the week. Can't wait to get this started now...

Just taken a call from my boss.... conversation started with.. I hate to have to do this over the phone..... my heart started beating a wee bit fast at this point...!!! But it was to tell me they are leaving.... bit sad now, we've worked together for 10 years and there is only one other person in the team who has been there longer than me.... wonder what my next boss will be like...:eek:

Both my dd and my cat appear to be on the mend thankfully, just got to get the car sorted next as it needs a bit of work and she is getting on a bit in years... 12 !! But less than 70k on the clock so hoping she will keep going for the lenght of my dmp... otherwise it will be the bank of mum I have to go to....

Got disturbed this morning with a delivery of a large parcel, part of my RM postal work that I do, so I will need to factor into my budget next week, paying to send this on, also need a perscription and a suit dry cleaned... no charity shopping for me this week then...! On the upside it looks like OH will be away from saturday to thursday next week so the food shop can be minimal as I will eat from the freezer.

Quick post today being the weekend, knee deep in washing, cleaning etc..... oh the joy!!

Popped to local electrical charity shop, they had a small chest freezer but wanted £80 for it and it was smelly... I don't think so, you can buy new for £129... but have found one on gumtree so waiting to hear if that's still available at £45...

Got perscription £7.85 and paid for suit dry cleaning £7.50.. I've now been informed that the black ink is running out so more spends tomorrow, think its cheapest at asda so i'll pop down early in the morning that will be another £15.. so that will be my sundries wallet empty for this week...

Other cat now poorly with same symptoms so assuming it was a cat bug that one has passed to the other. I shall keep an eye on her, but she has more.....curves than the boy so not eating for a day or two won't cause her to be skinny like him!!! I don't think I need to go and spend another £47 down the vet at this point.. and neither of them like the sensitive food so most of that's gone in the bin....

Strictly and x factor tonight so a girls night in front of the tv whilst OH is at football/pub...

Off now things to do.....................

Monday again... how did that happen? Woke up this morning thinking it was sunday.. how depressing is that...

Oh well another day another dollar...

to kb_soma, thanks for popping by. Lovely to hear from others on the same journey.

Today I'm feeling... and would really like to be tucked up in bed, in fact I may have a little siesta later. On the upside both my cats now appear to be well so that's one less worry out of the way...!

Its month end and I've added up my spends.. over budget on groceries but that is my weakness and an area that I will learn to rein in... Somehow I didn't spend more money than I had though so bit confused by that one... I shall do the same next month as i'm practising for the start of my dmp which hopefully will go live 1st November.. Just waiting to hear back from SC now.....

All quiet on the postal and phone front, my biggest creditor will have received communication from me today... this is the scary one as it makes up 33% of my total debt.. please be nice to me......:D

Lovely to see my current account in credit, all my priority dd's will start tumbling out tomorrow onwards so I shall admire it for as long as possible today..... After that I shall start moving around what's left into the various budget saving accounts I have created.

Time for a cuppa me thinks...

Forgot to add finally got the last 10p on onepoll so £40 payment requested from them...

well done!!

how long did it take to make the £40... i think im going to be on there FOREVER lol

Hi Raggydoll85, It does seem to take ages but if your persistant it does pay out... My last payout was in April but it generally averages every 4 months or so depending how good you are at checking the site many times a day!!! Its a nice little bonus when you reach it..
