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

Monday.....




Today is my day.... I have a plan and today is the day it is being implemented...


So what is the plan, I hear you ask... Well first you need some background knowledge... Like my debt I have other secrets.. not yet shared with you...... I am an addict.. I am.. I have an addictive personality. So not just in spending, although god only knows what I spent 60k on...!! Of course I didn't spend 60k at all the lovely banks topped up my debt with interest.. but even still 60k.. that is an awful lot of money.. But we are dealing with that one...


BUT we can deal with it better if I address the other addictions I have...


1. SMOKING...


Now I have always smoked, cut down a few times but in the main always been a smoker and if I am honest I don't see that changing.. BUT.. I have invested in a rather expensive e cig which was recommended by a complete stranger I got talking to at the garage when I took my car in..! bit random I know... so over the last week I have been using it occasionally instead of lighting up the 36p cigerette.. From today it is going to work in the opposite way... I will chart my progress. If I ultimately give up smoking then all well and good but that is not the plan at the moment.


2. DRINKING..


I am from a family of big drinkers.. my nan was a brandy girl, my gran a bottle of gin a day.. my mum likes/liked her whisky and my dad has vodka on his cornflakes... my brother is a lover of the vodka as well.... so.. I don't drink spirits but do like the grape juice.. not on my cornflakes though... so back to change.. no drinking on school nights. This should be Mon - Thurs.. again I want to chart my progress..


3. EATING..


Now I am not huge by any stretch of the imagination but do have a pesky stone I do not want to take on my summer holiday.. so stop eating rubbish.. from today....


signing off back in a minute...

So Day 1.. Everything was sent to try me yesterday..


Its funny that we get to a point in life where we are piggy in the middle caring for older and the younger generation.. anyhow.. both of mine were out of sorts yesterday but I stayed away from any grape juice, did a walk on the treadmill and smoked about half the amount I usually do.. so all positive despite the distractions...!!! I probably ate 1 or 2 more biscuits than I should have.. oops.....




Day 2...


Plans already going wonky... mum's cab is out everynight till friday, was planning on a walk in between drop off and pick up tonight but now need to go and do some work... will (hopefully) keep away from the grape juice.. and keep plugging away at the smoking reduction.......As for the biscuits... not sure.....


No money news.... payment to creditors tomorrow from SC so looking forward to a % update....

Happy Hump Day..... well its not for me as I've only got tomorrow to go.. :j


I start the week all positive and by mid week have reverted back to type.... In my defence it is hard going here at the moment.. dd is really struggling so I shall continue to try and be good but can't wait until the middle of May when this is all over for another year...!


She is still planning on resigning from her pt job today, I have mixed feelings about it. But she doesn't enjoy it.. (its work..who does...) its a fairly old style shop, with women of a certain age.... I've no doubt she will find something else when the time is right... for now she needs to concentrate on her studies.. I'm dreading parents evening tomorrow... :eek:


Funny thing yesterday, her friends mum (the little bit nutty friend) texted me to ask whether we had/were looking at uni's/booked open days etc.. and maybe if the girls were looking at the same one's we could travel together etc.. same one... not if we can possibly help it....DD would like to go somewhere without 'her friend' who is a bit draining.... will have to duck and hide me feels.....


So no exercise yesterday.. but then I was standing on a flat roof of a 3 storey building taking photo's for work at 6pm... Did have some grape juice.. not bad on the ciggies.. but cooked burger and chips.. OH's favourite.. man food... not many biscuits though so a bit of mixed bag yesterday...


Will be on the treadmill tonight after dropping dd and having coffee with SIL and nieces...


17th Payment now gone to creditors and signature updated properly now mse have stopped playing with the format...


Only 88 months to go... will fly by i'm sure.. I can't believe the kids are breaking up again this friday, they have only just gone back from the feb half term...


Roll on Monday and payday.. :j
