My Long and Winding Debt Journey

longforthesun

Pepe sorry you din't win as you say it must have been the drink.

HOw much for parking? Thats rediculous (SP).

Cold again here today have put the heating on but have turned all radiators except the living room one off. Got to sort out money and pay a few bills. I think i may just withdraw the amount of money we have left in our account spare this month and work with just cash. Still got a fair bit of food left so should not need to do a big shop this week just a top up shop. Need to meal plan again.

Yeah it was a NSD again.

I did have to pay a few bills but they are bills so I don't count them when thinking of NSD.

Tomorrow need to get out and get a few bits and bobs. Put the heating off about 2pm today and house is freezing again. Our problem is we have no insulation and a stone floor in the kitchen (not put in by us) we keep looking at getting insulation but its the money we need to fork out to get it that is putting us off. Unfortunatley OH earns too much money :rolleyes: to qualify getting it free under the goverments new plans in place to help, we would get a discount but even then we would still need to fund the other half. Don't want to get on my soap box but it maddens me that actually your average family do not qualify for extra help despite working and paying taxes but if we sponged off the social paid no tax we would get all the help in the world.

Oh and even worse news they came and read our gas and elec meter I am soooo not looking forward to that bill comming in.

hi LFTS,

You sneak in and out again and I never catch you online!
Yeah, the weather seems to have decided to fit the season at last. The car was icy at 1a.m when I went to work and now its just that fine rain thatt 'soaks you right through' ( thanks Peter Kay for that one ).
Just a boring day really with no deliveries to people who give tips or tea, so it was a nett spending day.
Staff sales day tomorrow ( chicken factory ) so two birds for £2.50, I think I'll have Sandra Bullock and Kate Winslett.:p

We are like ships passing in the night (i think thats the right saying)

I looked like the Mitchelin Man today when I went out it was that cold. I would have been okay if I had fallen I had that much padding i probably would have bounced!

Really Sandra Bullock? Not my cup of tea. I always say to OH Angelina Jollie or Jennifer Anniston and he always goes for Angelina as do most men. No idea why guys go for her if i was a man jennifer anniston for sure she is far more prettier.

Lucky you getting cheap birds.

Well a NSD for me couldn't be bothered to go out to shops and as there was nothing that we needed urgent so have left it.

Have put some washing on and have put the heating on as mine and DS jackets were soaking after comming back from nursery so need to get them dried before the school run.

Have also cleaned my living room carpet it had some dirty marks on it so got the bottle of cleaning stuff and got most of the marks out so feeling really pleased with myself.

Nothing to report re the DMP.

Hi LFTS,

Weather driving me nuts!! Working from 3am til 7am in London, sweating like a pig in 15 degrees, now I'm home its p'ing down so stuck indoors aaarrrggh!

Still, got a £5 tip today as some twit invoiced a customer for the wrong stuff so he made an extra £40 ( He also gives me cheap/free meat so that helps ) result!

Sun def NOT shinning, I think its hidding:D . Going to make 'factory reject' KFC portion chicken casserole ( without the fingerlickin' bit ) for dinner...do I seal it first?

pepe2008

Missed again!!!

I hate driving in the rain. You will need to give me the recipe for KFC styled chicken OH and kids like it (i'm not too kean on it).

What you going to spend you £5 tip on?

longforthesun

Went to shops and spent £27. Have not managed to do a meal plan for this week but tonight is chicken rice and tortillas.

Weather has been lovely today I even went out without my jacket.

Nothing in the post again re our DMP. I know i sholdn't complain.

Hi LFTS,
The £5 tip went in the car, that will get me to work and back nearly twice. We had our American rellies over yesterday, according to them mycar has 'mexican overdrive' which is freewheeling wherever possible....too right!!

You're rihjt about the insulation, like most things in this flamin' country, if you are a layabout you are given it...but if you work hard to have JUST enough you gt no help whatsoever and that goes for School trips, meals, prescriptions, housing, evrything.....perhaps I shouldnt have bothered at school !$?*!!

But they do say th best things in life are free.
