My debt free dream....

babyhead

Well... Plan for the weekend is -

1/ list 3 items on ebay totally 2700. If all sell then thats my dad paid off. woop woop. 1 of the items is the reason he lent me the money. He's not happy i'm selling it but then he's never happy! I don't use it enough to justify the expense IYKWIM.
2/ visit OH's family
3/ study
4/ write to GP
5/ enter competition for free meal for OH and I.

Other than that not much going on!! :rolleyes: Have a good day/weekend all!

WELL not liking the new sub board. Cant find anything. And im not a diary! Oh well spose I'll have to get used to it.

Not having a good weekend. My father and I have had a falling out. Nothing to do with the sale of the item above - that hasnt been mentioned yet :eek: - I believe the falling out is probably unreconcileable (sp?). It has been a long road and it has reached a dead end. It is unfortunate that we are still living together!

Scratchies are doing my head in - can withdraw 10 but it won't let me?? Stupid thing. Will try again tomorrow. :mad:

Ooh, sorry that you are falling out with your Dad. I hope that it does not turn out to be as bad as first thought.

As for the scratchies, try again tomorrow, then get in touch with their customer services if you can't withdraw. Bah!!

Monday again....I have loadsa work to do but have spent all morning playing with DS :jWent outside on his quadbike - he looks *so* cool!

<breaks to answer phone> Grrr...work related and even more work to do now! Grr...will have to work tonight too when OH gets in :mad: he will be pleased!! NOT. Oh well...least DS is happy.

Done banking - all fine. Scratchcard has let me withdraw I think. Will check tomorrow.

have listed 1 item on ebay - *should* sell. Have been watching similars for a while. One ended the other day @2k with 11 people bidding on it - theirs was 3 yrs old. Mine is 3 MONTHS old. Don't want a profit (although that would be nice:p ) just want 2750 to pay my dad back what he lent me to pay for it! We'll see but its hopeful that it might sell. Anything I get for it is a bonus.... will keep you posted!!

my list from the weekend -

1/ list 3 items on ebay totally 2700. Have listed the 1 - good as this is the most important
2/ visit OH's family DONE
3/ study NOT DONE
4/ write to GP NOT DONE BUT NO HURRY FOR THIS
5/ enter competition for free meal for OH and I. DONE - And they come back saying they wanted to do a story on us. OMG. I have tentatively agreed in the (perhaps false) hope that it might mean we get chosen (they select 20 people)....oh dear :rotfl:

I really must do some work though now. see you all!!

Sometimes its like one step forward and another twenty back....:mad:

Am in a good mood as have listed items on ebay and should sell. If they do sell then we are on target to be sub 30k at the end of this month....:D which makes me very very happy indeed! It will be amazing if there is even the slighest chance to do this!! woop woop!!

Am in a bad mood as have sent OH off to get petrol and few bits for DS like NAPPIES as some how hadn't realised I had only got 1 left!! :eek: and the bank won't let him withdraw any cash??? Lucky he didn't just fill up with fuel. Why on earth is the bank being a pain??? I have no idea - we actually HAVE money I have no option but to ask my mum to lend us some money to get some! Good old mum - spose she could hardly say no as DS would just be pi**ing and pooing all over her floor!!

BUT i get loads of grief from my bro/dad as to how we can possibly have no money? Well...besides the fact I haven't been paid for one of my jobs for the last 3 months (getting this tuesday!!) and the other job has only just paid me so hasn't cleared yet! Oh and there is the small matter of the 30k of debt we are in! Ha ha! I have told myself we are doing well. I have to believe this as it keeps me going!! In any case if we are on target to be sub 30k at the end of march - thats nearly 8k gone since November DESPITE all thats happened/gone wrong since then. I think that it is quite brilliant actually!! :T

I don't comment on my bros/dad's finances. My mum knows we are in debt and that am paying cc/OD off. She doesn't know about loans though! She doesn't moan so much. My dad has got 20k odd on ccs - do you see me telling him what to do with his money? Nope. My bro has a 140k mortgage, ccs and OD and has to struggle with work 24/7 in order to just pay his D/Ds. Do I say anything to him? Nope. At the end of the day - no one really knows about other peoples money (unless u r on MSE anyways...) and I have NO IDEA about their true financial situation as they have NO IDEA about mine! I only think I know - IYSWIM.

So the evil things have put me in a bad mood. Plus I have stacks of work to which I haven't started yet. Must crack on now or OH will kill me if he catches me on here. D'oh

babyhead

Just told OH about - small chance of being less than 30k in debt this month. His reply (and I quote)

"Oh well I ain't really bovvered about that love".

I am *so* glad my debt busting is appreciated....lol.

This is what happens when I TRY to be a good mother - I have to stay up until midnight to work! :rolleyes:

D'oh! Just thought I would post it here :rolleyes: to remind me for the future!! ha ha

Bed?

Morning MSE!

have done banking and we are 64p overdrawn? Not sure why. Seems t here is an unclear payment of 2 quid from something? !!!!!!? So annoying! will transfer over 1 quid from the other bank. stupid bank.

Got lots to do today and working tonight. Grr...am knackered! No bidders on ebay yet. come on people!!

Anyway....will catch up later.... xx

babyhead

Morning! Ah...thank god yesterday is over. So busy with work related stuff. Am completely knackered today now! Going to have a rest this morning before I go mental! DS has clearly missed me as is very clingy today! <bless him>

done banking. Still not sure what the 2 payment is for and it hasnt cleared yet either! Least wont go OD though. No scratchie money - I don't think it has gone through. Might have to give it up as a bad job - can't really contact them as I only ever do the free scratchies! Still hoping someone will bid on my ebays. If it doesn't sell it must be me! D'OH!

OH took DS to get his feet measured again. Another 28 quid gone. ARGH!

Anyway... fairly quiet day today

babyhead

Morning!

Done banking. OH did lots of overtime last week and paid today which is all good! Shame we haven't paid off the work loan yet :rolleyes: I think there is only one more week to go...will get OH to check. That will be an extra 80/100 a month! Woop woop!!!!

Scratchie money not in our account yet. :mad: think i will have to forget this! D'oh. :rolleyes: Still no bids on ebay - but lots of people watching though - bloody bid you idiots!! Will be so pleased if it sells. I bet it won't though - I am so carp at ebay. It must be the way i've listed it as i've been keeping an eye on for a while and they usually sell ok. If it doesn't will have to try again

Still knackered but must get things done today! Plan is work/study and play with DS.
Things I must do are - send chq of so can withdraw the money from the savings acc/sort dentist money/pay ccs/pay in cheques.

Not doing well with studying again - assignment due Mon and I havent started yet. :eek: and we have a busy weekend ahead...must get things done today!!! If im spotted on here feel free to beat me :rotfl:
