Buddiebabe's new beginnings....

buddiebabe

I hope we can come up with something. I have looked into a few ideas and have requested some brochures for places in Scotland so that its not to far to travel and hopefully not too expensive.

Im still feeling lousy and i've struggled through another day at work today. Alot of the time i couldn't concentrate and just sat there staring at my computer screen. In the shop tonight it was a bit easier cause i had no choice but to concentrate when i was counting the cash and i was constantly busy so there was no time to feel ill or sorry for myself. Im making up for that now.

I was thinking about taking monday off as a holiday to give me a break from both jobs. I know its only one day but it might just be what i need. The only thing is i don't really want to waste my holidays i do that every year. Im not working in the shop on Monday night but my boyfriend is working all day monday... another reason i feel bad for thinking about taking the day off.

I've not focused much on saving money over the last few days cause i've not been feeling too well and as a result i've spent more than i would have liked :mad: I've not taken my lunch with me any day this week which isnt good. My boyfriend has made my lunch for 2moro so thats one less thing to worry about.

I get paid 2moro and i've got £150 extra in my wages from working overtime and there is no council tax to be paid this month so technically i should have £269 extra, however, i am going to struggle to pay everything this month Nothing seems to be adding up or going right.

Am going to try and get some sleep now.... if i can stop coughing.... ITS KEEPING ME AWAKE!!!!

Tried to get to sleep but couldn't stop coughing :mad: :mad: :mad:
im so tired but am wide awake!!!

I decided not to waste the time so have spent the last 30mins relisting everything in my unsold list on ebay and uploading the 40 items i had put on turbo lister. I now have 211 items listed on ebay :j now all i need is 211 buyers :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Am going to switch this off now.... i need sleep!!!

Hope you managed to sleep and are feeling better. Being ill is very draining. It's not a waste of holiday to take it when you need it. Enjoy planning your holiday - when are you going to go?

buddiebabe

Hey

Mangaged to get a good 6 hours sleep last night and woke up feeling semi normal! My throat is still really sore and i still feel really tired but unable to sleep. My mouth is really sore now and i've got a few small ulcers starting... i guess im just really run down. The pharmacist in the shop told me to take lots of vitamin C so i've to take 2 500mg tablets a day and when i took them last night i felt quite queasy but they seem to have helped. Im really going to need to start looking after myself.

Im taking a weeks holiday in May and another in June we have decided we will go to the nice hotel in May and then an even nicer caravan in June (it looks better than my house!!! ) The two holidays will both be in Scotland the hotel we've been to before and it was lovely and the caravan park i used to go to with my parents when i was small and i just remember the lovely long sandy beach so im looking forward to both of them and the best part of all is that there will only be one week back at work in between them!!!!:j

My wages went into the bank today and have just as quickly vanished :eek:

I have enough money in to cover all the direct debits and payments coming out until the end of the month but not quite enough to cover the payments until i get paid on the 12th next month.

I've paid just the minimum payments on the following:

MBNA £75.79
RBS M/C 1 £203
RBS M/C 2 £117
TESCO £48

So i still have the following to pay this month:

£194 that i am short to cover all direct debits
Orange mobile phone bill (amount unknown as yet)
Interest on my current account (amount unknown as yet)
Debenhams minimum payment (amount unknown as yet)
car insurance £20
Road Tax £20
MOT & Servicing £50

I still have 3 weeks wages to get from the shop but will also need to get petrol and shopping with those. I have 2 weeks worth of money to get from my boyfriend which cover the savings for the car insurance, road tax and MOT & Servicing. It should also cover the debenhams, interest on my current account and orange mobile phone bill so the only thing i am left with is the £194.

So i have 19 days to get this money together which works out at £10.21 per day don't know how i'll be able to manage this but im going to have to give it a good try. Im hoping some of the things i've listed on ebay will sell soon out of the 211 i have listed three are selling (only one from the hundreds of stuff i listed this morning but its early days yet :rolleyes: )

Am off to check ebay stuff again and then its time for bed

Hi Buddiebabe,

Hope you are feeling better now. How lovely to have those holidays to look forward to.

Good luck with all your Ebay listing - I'm afriad I didn't get my act together in time to list mine. My DH is feeling down with all the money stuff and I'm trying to stay positive for him, but in turn its starting to get me down.

Am hoping for a very low spend weekend - always my danger time.

take care.

Well im feeling alot better today but my voice has gone it's just a squeak now which is getting worse by the minute. I've decided im not going to work on Monday i've got an appointment at the docs on Monday so i hope that they'll be able to give me something for it.

Its so strange not being able to talk.... i just feel really tired now and i've still got tonight in the shop to go and all weekend so will need to see how i manage.

Better go get ready for work will try and update later on tonight

Well i made it through work tonight. Everyone was having a really good laugh cause i couldnt speak but then someone said something and i actually managed to speak :j but didn't even realise i was doing it until half way through the conversation :rotfl: Im still not feeling great my heads sore and my throat still hurts.

I got my wages from the shop today and they were £58 which was better than expected so it wasn't too bad. I haven't bought petrol yet or any food for the house but im kinda hoping i wont have to buy too much this weekend. My boyfriends talking about going out 2moro nite which if he does it will give me a few hours to myself that i can try and get some stuff listed on ebay and some housework done... everything is falling behind again cause im just too tired to do anything. I dont want to overdo it and make myself worse than i am but i need to try and get some extra money in.

I have not checked my survey / cashback accounts for a while so am going to do that and see what i have in them if there is anything i can get out of them.

Not really much to update i was working all weekend and the rest of the time i've been spending is in my bed still feeling ill. My sore throat has got much worse and im still so tired all the time. Just hope that the doctor will be able to give me something for it when i go 2moro.

I have applied for some freebies and entered a few competitions but not managed much else. I've been reading some of the other diaries with interest but not felt up to posting. Think its just the way im feeling at the moment.

I've got so much stuff i need to get done but again i dont want to try and rush about doing it and end up making myself worse. I did get some food shopping on Sat night which should do us for at least this week as long as i stick to just one dinner a night instead of two

The other night i was going to check my balances on my cash back accounts but i ended up on quidco then i gave up!

Going to go see if there are any new freebies to apply for

Hi Buddiebabe - how did you get on at the doctors?

Hope you are feeling a bit better today.

buddiebabe

Hi

Well i went to the doctors this morning and didn't get anywhere. I got a trainee doctor that just asked the same questions over and over again then asked me what i wanted him to do. In the end i just gave up and left. He said that i must have had an infection but it was obviously clearing up. It was a complete waste of time and made me feel worse.

Im still not feeling great. I still have no energy and my throat still hurts but im just taking ibuprofen and paracetamol and not doing much.

I have done two loads of washing today.... but only as i need the clothes for work. I have also listed 52 videos on ebay today so that means two boxes of things to get taken out the house up to mums so thats good... it will clear a space in the hall :j I should really be doing some ironing or some housework but am still not feeling up to it! So am going to try and get some more things listed on ebay tonight.

MrsPorridge how did you get on at the weekend? Did you manage a low spend weekend?? Are you feeling any better about things?
