    Morning - another week of debtbusting awaits!

    Today I have a mystery shop to do after work......and a little more sorting to do when I get home to prep for a client tomorrow evening. I have refunded my amazon buyer for the DVD, and hope that my ebay buyer pays today so I can get that sent off and out of the way.

    OH starts his new job today, so I will get a lift in with him as he gets free parking.

    Have a good day, everyone x

    Surfbabe, don't you think that the act of writing a list counts as actually doing something?

    How about all lsits starting with:
    • eat chocolate
    • write list of jobs to do
    or should those be the other way round? :confused:

    OH I like that idea OO but I'm trying to be really good and not eat chocolate, crisps etc at the moment - in fact i emptied the house of them when my lot went to the Jamboree last week - they took the lot and I managed to lose 2 lbs !!!!!!!!!!

    I too started the day with a list in my diary. (not the thread as I was still sitting up in bed at the time.). Just logged on to check the bank balance. The gas/electric DD has gone out. Must read the meter and see how I am doing there, when I get home tonight. Going into work now. Have a good day all.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Ok, so my list reads.....
    • [strike]eat chocolate[/strike] what do you mean, dairy milk for breakfast is not a suitable start to the day :confused:
    • [strike]write list of things to do[/strike] see, progressing well on my list already :D
    • [strike]enter mystery shop results from weekend and send off receipt[/strike]Done
    • Do another mystery shop after work
    • Aim for a NSD (mystery shop will allow for purchase of bread and milk under expenses :D )
    • Get my cabin clear ready for client to visit tomorrow
    • [strike]check online banking against bills to pay[/strike]DONE - current surplus £1.99
    • [STRIKE]go to Halifax to reduce overdraft facility[/STRIKE] Done - that is another £100 of temptation I do not have!

    Looks good to me too.... and, oh, the smugness of those that work from home - my regular breakfast of oats, soymilk, Tesco Value dried fruit and sunflower seeds. Sorry :money: :D
