HHeee-whaaaa heeeee-whhhaaaaaa... I need a brown paper bag to breath into....
I'm getting into debt to buy a sandwich shop... it will be official sometime in the next two weeks.... and the good news, even though the place has been run almost into the ground, it is still making a profit! :j
Right, need to find a coffee machine to rent or a cheapy refurbished one to buy (at like, £1'000 brand new min!) :eek: And I found bio cups too (this shop will have no polystyrene if we can help it). Looking to try and over-pay the loan though, I really hate debt! Must look into that! OMG!
Oh and I better find out how to keep the books pretty soon too... heh, good idea that.... *hyperventilates*
Off to do some FLYing now....0 -
Today.. I have done.. not a blooming thing!!!!
I dropped the grubs at church group... nipped to my mothers.. collected said children.. did a spot of shopping and my friend turned up with her 3 so I've sat and talked and chatted and laughed and drank so much tea I am practically swimming ..
I loaded the DW twice.. that was only so we had plates and cutlery for dinner though...
So.. tomorrow afternoon I have 2 of the children at growth clinic and it is church group in the morning so I won't get anything done tomorrow either..
Hubby finishes work on Friday for 2 weeks... so I'll get even less done!!
Oooh.. I got a phonebill this morning.. I owe them.. NOTHING!!! lol.. I like bills like this but.. what a waste of time!! We have also dropped it down 2 tariffs so though that cost us £10 it means we will be paying £8 less a month from now on.. it all helps!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

Well TAG HHC moved into an hour's major clearance on the desk. It's such a disgusting job, because it's a total dumping ground, as it's right by the front door, and the dining room table. So it gets all the post, leaflets, papers, school letters, children's drawings etc, as well as really important bills/appointments letters/tax credits stuff/ tax returns/ you name it - it's dumped there!!! ..... but I discovered a hospital app for DD2 that I didn't know about, which we're not going to make, so good job I found that!!
So I ....

ooh, that's something I've considered - oddly enough my OH knows someone who's wife is selling up and the conversation about one only came up last week.
any thoughts about how easy it was etc to get one, i'd love to hear!"Stay Wonky":D

Tia - that's fab! You sound really excited about it now. You can't beat working for yourself.
Children fed...i'm going to declutter our bedroom, stairs (don't think there's anything there anyway), bathroom and landing. Then I'll do all the cleaning tomorrow and start with the packing. I must be ill....i'm never this organised:rotfl: xx0 -
Tia that sounds great - everything crossed for you.
Got carried away and only just stopped. Whole house S&S'd as appropriate, downstairs hoovered, DW, WM and TD emptied and filled, clothes folded ready to put away, children, dogs, fish and cats fed. I am determined it will not slide back into a mess before the weekend - has to be clean for the housesitter on Saturday. The ironing press is heating up for a HHI, but first I need to re-make a lego train for crying DS2.
Nearly wine o'clock! I have to wait till after I have ironed, the press is lethal after a few drinks.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
I'd like to say I'm in this week but who knows as I'm having a very :mad: :mad: :mad: evening since I've been in from work. OH and DD and my DS all home today and no-one has thought to lift a darn finger. I'm so angry. There is still washing in the machine from last night needs hanging out or TDing, clothes sat dry in the dryer need folding, the dishwasher has been full and clean for 3 days now as noone wants to bother unloading it, breakfast bowls on the table (OK well it was mine but noone thought to move it) and in the sink, the worksurfaces in the kitchen are grimy, the breads been left out,bthere are still bags of dirty washing on the kitchen floor (left by me as a hint for someone to do something), the dog hasnt been walked, theres a pile of OH's clothes to go upstairs that I gave him last night now sat on the side, the table is covered and I mean covered in packaging from the new laptop he's bought to replace the one that got rained on last week when the window blew open and drowned it, but of course its too much trouble to ring the insurance company to see it they'll pay for a replacement (cos I want to keep the old one - err it doesnt work) plus theres a new keyboard to try and work the old laptop from - err why didnt he try unpluggin this keyboard and trying that instead of buying a new one, he spent at least 3 hours in PC world, but he has just IM'd me from the dining room to ask me if I'd like a cuppa tea bless him, oh AND THE KIDS ASK ME WHATS FOR KIN TEA !!!!!!!!!!
And I left my list of replies ready to type out from this weeks thread at workMortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!0 -
:hello: I'm back!
Haven't caught up and doubt if I'll have chance tonight. Can some one fill me in if I've missed anything important!
Tia - that's great news - you sound really excited! - That's the only news I caught
