Hypno's recession busting debt diary.....

hypno06

Definitely at least one portion of your five a day, surfbabe- probably two

Got to the post office too late to post the parcel today - sorry Seaxwyn.....so I will take it into town and post on Monday. Sorry x

Have spent £27.50 on a private karate lesson for DD :eek: because she needed to catch up some stuff before her next grading, and have spent £2.30 on coffee and sweets (chocolate subsitute) while waiting for her

Tesco shop is due to be delivered any time and I think that will be about £80 which has to cover us for two weeks (apart from top ups of bread and milk).

I will have to pay for the mystery shop tonight, but will get that refunded in due course.

In other news, the shredder is well and truly dead, so is going to the dump with the bags of rubbish that we have sorted this week - I think there is another 8 or 9 going today so, again, another step closer to getting sorted! Baby steps!

Have had my chocolate today - piece of Fridge cake - it must be good for you as it has fruit in - does that count as one of the portions a day????????

If there are raisins AND sultanas then surely that's 2 of your 5-a-day?

and if you eat two pieces, that is double fruit and veg portions!

Mmmm, cake...
Time for breakfast I think. Both my boys are comlpetely out of it on the floor in the lounge - really cute. Don't know what DH did to them this morning while I was sleeping but it seems to have worked!
Ta for the concern BTW Hypno, but all's good around here, it's just tiring having kids, job, breastfeeding, housework & renovation, plus the usual money-making... as I'm sure you know better than anyone, so there's no point in whinging about it, we just have to get on with it and sadly things like posting on MSE suffer as a result. I'm going to make more of a priority of this though, as these threads do keep me on track (a bit ).

hypno06

Yes, I do know what you mean! But I would be terrified to let MSE slip for fear that the debt would rocket! It takes the place of housework in my book......MSE gets my debts down, housework doesn't

Nah, I *know* that's not a good enough reason for not doing my housework but it will just have to do for now!!

pandapaws

Sounds like a perfectly legit reason to me. Unfortunately I'm not getting anywhere with the housework as it is, so I can't sacrifice that for computer time!

hypno06

When you have a baby and working full time, housework very definately comes at the bottom of the list.

I was lucky (?) in that when my two were little, we had a Nanny who terrified me into doing housework......she would certainly give me short shrift if she didn't think my worktops were clean enough

Not chocolate, but free sweets:

That's gotta be better than housework!

Have you got her phone number??? she could make a fortune being handed around us DFW's!!!:D and you could be her agent and make a cut of her earnings!:T :T

good news! just queried with ladbrokes why my 25 snr hadn't been credited.should've been 2 weeks ago... they have credited me with 2 free 25 snr bets :T :T

Bad news! I've just grilled my chips instead of ovening them... house now stinks!!!:o
