    I have just emptied out my bag and i have found my loose change that i had saved at work in there.... i forgot i emptied my bank at work last week.... there was only a few pounds but it is better than nothing!

    I have put aside £1.75 to go towards the money i owe mum and i have given my boyfriend £2.00 towards what i owe him.

    I've done some ironing to get my clothes ready for work in the morning and i will just take some bread with me for some toast at tea break and will have ww soup or ww spaghetti and toast for lunch. I will need to spend some money 2moro to buy some fresh orange juice and some healthy snacks for when i get hungry!!! So 2moro will be a spend day so count for month is 1 out of 2 so far.

    Am off to bed now

    Well i decided i could do without the trip to Asda before work but only cause it looked like it was going to rain and i really didn't fancy walking from the office to the shop incase i got wet :o the good thing about that is that it means that today is a NSD :j so far this month it's been 2 out of 3 so am very impressed with myself.

    My boyfriend went to the shop tonight and bought bread and cold meat so i could have another NSD 2moro if i decide i don't want my orange juice.... can't decide so i'll wait and see how im feeling in the morning.

    I had some toast for breakfast this morning and a small muiller fruit corner then for lunch i had ww tomato soup with 2 slices of bread and a packet of walkers smokey bacon crisps and a small tub of peach cubes so the only bad thing out of that was the smokey bacon crisps :T usually i wouldnt get my dinner until 9.30pm on a Monday night but i left work at 4 and came home and made my dinner before going to work in the shop at 6. It wasn't that healthy a dinner but i enjoyed it. I had a pie, beans and mashed potatoes and some brown sauce. Then tonight when i came home from the shop i had a coffee and two small packets of iced gems then i had a fab ice lolly :o so although it wasn't a very healthy dinner i feel much better for having it at a reasonable time.

    I have made another payment to MBNA this time for £1.00 i've decided if i can i want to make a payment every day to one of my debts even if it is only 1p it is going to make me more motivated to come on here and post that i have actually done something!!!

    I checked my quidco account tonight and both the magazine offers have tracked and my clicks for kelkoo and high street web have also tracked so if they validate then i'll be happy. I've done my kelkoo and high street web clicks for today so that's another 5p if they track.... im going to try and do those ones every day so i can count on some money coming through from quidco every month.... i know its only going to be pennies but for all the time it takes to actually do it its worth the extra 5 mins when i'd normally be sitting just watching tv!

    I really need to make an effort to get back into listing things on ebay just need to find the time, the motivation and the camera :rotfl:

    Am going to go to bed now and try and get some sleep i will make my sandwiches in the morning or will just take some bread and have soup or spaghetti if i cant be bothered making them!

    Well i did it another NSD today :j thats 3 so far this month!!! Im really impressed with myself.

    Im supposed to be going to my keepfit class at lunch time 2moro but don't know if i can actually face it and my leg is still sore so am not too sure about going.... the other thing is i can't really be bothered getting my stuff ready or making my sandwiches for the morning :o

    I have made another payment to MBNA today of £1.06 again its not much but at the moment its all i can afford!

    I didn't have a good night at my second job tonight and really wish i could give it up i've had enough but know i would need to find something else cause i cant afford to give it up and that makes me really sad and angry with myself for getting into a situation where i have to work 2 jobs :mad:

    Im off from the second job 2moro night so am looking forward to the break will post again 2moro when im feeling a bit better about myself and things

    Buddiebabe - hope you'll feel better soon. Well done on all your payments, however small - it all adds up in the end.

    Well not a NSD for me today.... so far today i have spent the following:

    90p on a scrambled egg roll
    £3.25 on a cheese and ham toastie and can of diet irn bru
    86p x 2 on Olay face stuff using my £5 off boots vouchers
    75p into a lift for someone at work

    so today i have spent £6.62 and i still have to get through work tonight!!! hopefully i wont spend much if anything tonight.

    I received a cheque from the post office today for a parcel that i posted in December last year. It has taken me numerous phone calls and wasted time and they only refunded me the cost of the actual item and not the postage... now if they admit that they have lost the item why should i have to pay for the privelege and also have to wait 8 months for me to get my money back??? Im going to have to write another complaint letter to them cause i aint happy!!!!

    Going to check that my wages from my second job are in the bank and then get ready for work!

    Buddiebabe - think I'm going to have to start doing payments a day again on my CCs. That's the very first thing I started doing when I joined MSE and I don't do it any more.

    I'm starting afresh with my MSEing on 28th August (pay day). as that is after my holiday as well. I really want to try and get on with it as I have slipped quite a bit lately.
