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

Surfbabe

Afternoon - just - well just heard my niece had her 5th baby at 8.40am.(she is 27 today) a little boy and she was only in labour 1hr 30mins. :j :j

Am currently trying to sort out DS accomodation for next term - he has paid two months rent but has never recevied a copy of tenancy agreement deposit asking and I've had a letter asking me to give my details as guarantor. :mad: :eek: :eek: .

That has taken all morning so far as I can find no phone number or email or website for the chap in question. have emailed local council to find out whether property is licensed as HMO and whether landlord is on acrredited register.

Oh well - I suppose it will get sorted -

gailey - one square of chocolate per box completed would be no good to me.....it would have to be the full bar, or nothing at all!

Surfbabe - congrats on being a great-auntie :j I hope you get the accommodation for DS sorted soon :mad:

My housework is coming along slowly, although I have done another basket of ironing, and the lounge has been hoovered......I will get some more done as they day goes on I expect......but I must remember to go out and do my mystery shop.

Hyp, sorry to sound fick, but how did you do your box chart? was it on the puter, or graph paper? I'm trying to make one on the puter, but cant work out how

hi spud, I am useless at technology but I just made a table in Word on the computer with as many columns and rows as I needed.

If you want, pm me how many squares you need and I will email you over a table.....

Ohhh been trying in Excel. Lemme have a look in Word

How much are your boxes worth? I dont want it to be too demoralising to have to wait ages to cross each one off

Sorry for the delay coming back, spud - I was colouring my hair.........

My boxes are £50, which is just right for me.

spud30

Dont be daft - hope your hair turns out OK

I've managed it finally. I started off with each box being £1, and couldnt work out how to change it. Eventually managed to get it on one page, including the mortgage at £50 boxes. I think I've been off work too long and me brain has switched off :rotfl:

Anyhoo, I just paid off an extra £2 so I can colour another box

Well done on getting egg down so far. I think your challenges are amazing. I am having a bad day today, just pouring it all out at the moment. So lunch is late and when its done I think I will start my list again.!

The hair has turned out well which is a minor miracle given that I forgot what time I put the colour on, and got engrossed in sorting out papers in a box on the landing.......and couldnt then remember how long the colour had been "working" for.......

Thankfully it looks ok, and my hair didn't start coming out in clumps

And very nice it looks too
Like the sound of coffee mystery shops
DS has a new Wii game that won't play-apparently some kind of new generation disc-so Nintendo are upgrading/cleaning the disc drive for free-even sending a prepaid postage sticker. Pretty impressive for a 2.5 year old console. CS was sooo esay to deal with-Why can't ALL companies be like that ?
Decided to remove a door so I can put the fridge into an alcove-after struggling to remove all the screws and getting rid of the door-turns out lead on the fridge won't reach any sockets -Ooops. We always leave the door open anyway (leads to the cellar) so it's best gone as it gives more room. Nipping down to Wilkinsons shortly for an extension lead.
