Strumpet's Diary - Welcome to Planet Strumpet!!!

MrsPorridge

Just renewed my house and contents insurance £108. So I will go overdrawn next month (unless a miracle happens). Will try and claw back as much as possible. I have made around £65 on Ebay this weekend - which cancels out my weekend spending!

I bought a newspaper and a yoghurt on Sunday. Filled up the car today £31.06 - had no lunch but felt like an apprentice being sent for a long weight:mad: Had an appointment today but the woman kept me waiting from 11.30 til 3.30 and then never had the courtesy to listen to me, I was convinced that I was an alien who had just landed on the planet and couldnt speak English:mad:

I am just drinking the second coffee of the day - my first was at 7.30 this morning:eek:

Poor Horace! How rude was that woman! She needs taking down a peg or two!

Hey - good news. Just checked my ISA to see how much interest my credit card stooze has bagged me and was surprised to find it was as much as £126.66:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

So this will go straight off my credit card debt!

During tax year 2007/8 I earned £30.69 so that makes £157.35 in total.

That was certainly worth doing, even though it was an administrative nightmare!

Had to go to ASDA this evening and buy a few odds and s*ds. Spent £23.54, but this did include 24 toilet rolls which we REALLY needed! I thought they were quite cheap as it equated to 34.75p/roll.

Seriously going for the first NSD of the month tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Off to bed for an early night. OH is catching up on "Heroes" so I'll enjoy a couple of chapters of my book and settle down for a good 9 hours sleep which I really need right now.

Night, my luvvlies!

Afternoon!

I'm off to the bank to bank £160 that I've saved in £2 coins since 01/09/2008
The money will ultimately be used to buy my new freezer but until we have run down the food in the old one, the money might as well be in the savings account earning some wonga!

Just found out that a chap I know from my home town of Kendal has just scooped £2.7 million on the lottery.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke!

*trying not to be green with envy!*

Afternoon Strumps

I come bearing gifts - coffee, bacon baps and french fancies:D

That woman won't be getting any business from me ever - if she is like that with potential suppliers now what will she be like when it comes to payments?

Had some spends today - a Daily Express 40p (I keep forgetting about their vuchers), 1 crunchie, 1 bounty, packet of unsmoked bacon, some french fancies, packet of suggestive biscuits and some hot cross buns - total £7.24 and then I paid out £195.50 for start up membership of my local chamber of commerce which should save me £2000 a year.

Oh and I had a self assessment tax form today - if tax doesnt have to be taxing why do we need to pay it?

Off to watch Neighbours.

Good morning all.

Well H, I managed an NSD yesterday and there's a fighting chance that I may manage on today also.

I was going to go ringing at my home practice last night but once home, I simply did not have the energy to leave the house once again. I think this seriously aided my NSD quest as, with not going out, there was no temptation to visit The Cross for a pint!

Completely emptied the freezer last night, throwing away stuff that I know I am NEVER going to use. If it's been in there for more than 18 months, it went in the wheelie bin! Then I catalogued everything in there so now I know exactly what I have available for meal planning. I have set up a Freezer Book with separate pages for Veg, Fish, Beef, Pork, Lamb, Chicken, Turkey & Miscellaneous Stuff (like home made stock, pastry, garlic bread etc).
All the food is sorted into boxes / baskets within the freezer so I can find what I want almost instantly!

I wish I could sort out the rest of my life with the same enthusiasm!!!

OH is out all this evening building an Altar of Repose at St George's Church for use over the Easter period so I have a full evening on my own during which I am going to make myslef get my books out and do some study for my resit. This will be made easier by the fact that the guy who bought my armchairs from Ebay, picked them up yesterday so I've got my dining room back!!!

Anyway, enough ramblings for now - I'm off for a date with a can of Heinz Mushroom Soup!!!

Horace

Cheap date - a tin of soup:rotfl:

Well I have been spending again - bus into town £3.30 (daysaver) and made good use of it by hopping on and off buses all morning:D I purchased some sexy sassy new business cards (sexy feel to them and totally elegant) so my credit card is now £205 lighter than it was before I went into the shop:D

Met my 'new' chap - or rather I rushed past him as I was in full business mode and as I got to the other side of the road I heard my name shouted, then another shout so I stopped, there was R rushing over to see me:cool: He said that I had ignored him - I didnt actually see him although he was pretty hard to miss in his fluorescent vest and bus drivers uniform (I don't know what it is about that uniform but it does things to me:eek:) so we walked almost to the print shop. When I came out he had disappeared, guess his break must have been over but I did hang around the bus stops like a bus driver groupie on the offchance that he would reappear - he didnt:rolleyes: Seeing him gave me a lift and he is due to come round tomorrow:j

Oh and I nipped into the cake shop too and bought some cake but did pick up a £2 coin in there:j
