*Hem skirt of dress, put hook & eyes on and do the tweaks needed
*Do my holiday cover work

My list for the rest of the day

Spent £3 in the charity shop today and £1.54 in the shop when I went to the Post Office - I now have £3.50 to last me the week :eek: I'm determined to do it though, that debit card is STAYING in the house for the week :cool:

My quidco payment came through to my bank acc today so another £45 went straight to pay off some of the cc balance :T

Well done you're putting me to shame, I'm taking the slow route but sometimes I feel like I've stopped.

kika - I've just got myslef a small target at the moment and the prospect of getting rid of the cc and starting to be able to put money towards fixing the house and moving out of home is keeping me going!

Arrrgghhh!!

I'm blooming flat out after the couple of days off it's scaring me, I shouldn't even be on mse but I've sneaked on

Will get a pic of my dress up if I can find one, don't even know if there's one of me! Had a blast over the weekend, the boyfriend was VERY ill on Saturday though :rotfl:

Finally got the cc balance transfer started so hopefully by the end of the week I'll be paying less interest!

Woop, off to work!

kika

You're doing well, sounds like you had a good time anyway.

Eep, I'm swamped and have totally lost track of everything - the last week I've had extra work on and been feeling rather ill with toothache and bad indigestion due to a super carp diet, I really need to cut back on the fizzy juice and eat better. Didn't even know the pain I'd been having was indigestion till today :rotfl:

My balance transfer has gone through so I'm feeling rather good about it and due to work I've only spent £1 between Tuesday night and Today!

Might have an extra 3 days overtime this week too, I know I've got to anyway but will find out about the others later in the week, fingers crossed as I could really do with the dosh to keep me on track.

Need to get some more stuff in my "for ebay boxes" listed and tidy my room - it's turned into a total tip and I can't find anything :mad:

Just getting down to the wrapping so I can get everything popped in the post first thing tomorrow, apart from that all done

A couple of my chilli plants have started flowering so I've got high hopes - bought them from a school sale as small plantsso haven't had the difficulty of growing from seed, that's a task for when we move into the house.

My dad's built a large cold frame outside so fingers crossed! I've got one little red strawberry on one of the plants too

Paid another £100 off my credit card but it's left me £15 into my overdraft, until tomorrow anyway when I get paid!

And I've got a bag of stuff together that won't go for enough on ebay so it's all set for carboot if the weathers good.

I'll have to stop reading this thread as you're so organized I feel useless! I make lovely lists but never get half of it done

debtbegone

Ahh, but organised I'm not!

I spent a whole week doing nowt towards getting stuff done so I'm waaayyyy behind in reaching my target

I find that if I pop my lists up here I get most, if not all of it done as I get more satisfaction crossing stuff out

Today I didn't have a list, got shown what work I'm doing next week (more overtime, yeay) got to the post office, playing some b!ngo and that's about it really!

Got paid for my first stint of overtime but I think they've overapid me, will have to find out tomorrow, but that's all set to go off the bos card

Going to the boyfriends for dinner in a few minutes, can't wait I'm blooming starving!

kika

I've just been on Buffy's thread and she says lists should start with eat chocolate:rotfl: I agree, at least I'd get one thing done
