My debt free dream....

babyhead

Well deja vu or what? I thought I'd done a post earlier. Don't know where that has gone. Oh well.. probably for the best - I was only rambling anyway

Have been to hospital with DS about his hearing today. :j as his hearing is perfect he just isn't speaking because he is lazy apparently can't imagine where he gets his procrastination from??! he he....;) Hopefully the words will come soon.... I was annoyed becuz they keep mentioning my lung disease as if "oh u have a lung disease, you must therefore neglect your child". Last time Social services came around to check the DS was "okay". They were happy - why wouldn't they be? We provide for DS in every way possible - Ok we don't have our own place (yet??) but that is not really the be all and end all and they weren't really bothered by this anyway... I am not sure what more I can do to prove that DS is okay I got a bit stroppy with his doc today as she kept mentioning it even after she was happy that it had no relevance to DS's hearing/development. I think that is what annoys me. Perhaps I am just sensitive. I don't know. :mad:

Plan for today is or rather WAS WORK then....

1/tidying up and sort out remaining DS clothes
[strike]2/sort paperwork out - and file important stuff[/strike]
3/take pics of ebay items and list
4/send ty card to doc
[STRIKE]5/write letter to council [/STRIKE]
6/[STRIKE]put ad in local mag about typing - have been thinking about how to get my extra 4k. I used to do some typing jobs on the side - think might put an ad in local paper to see if anything comes of it. Probably won't make much but any extra helps...and its something I can do whenever.[/STRIKE]
7/monthly review of finances/plans etc...

Still got lots to do then...:rolleyes:

Having achieved nothing more from my list I am determined to get things sorted today.

And as there is no MSE this weekend I won't be able to linger on here either so want to get as much stuff done as possible.

Done banking etc..having been paid again this month. :mad: Will be having words next week when I see finance officer. It really does take the biscuit! I think he only does it becuz he is rich and wants to prove a point :rolleyes:

Anyway...will get all my stuff done etc and then can give a good update on Monday when MSE is back open... that is my plan. Let's see how it goes... have a good weekend all (albeit MSE free !!)

Well having a nightmare today.
Rents have asked us to leave :eek: :eek: So have got off the phone to council to say we are now going to be homeless:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
As rents have said we can stay for a couple of more weeks - we have a meeting arranged to discuss a planned move. Their next available appt was 20/4 :eek: Rents have said we can stay until then. I don't know what to do next really. I knew it was bad but obviously didn't know HOW bad. Rents want to sell up and move. Not much I can do about this really and I would agree that they can't sell properly if we are here. Just means we are having a nightmare!!! Will have to wait until 20/4 and see what they propose. Good thing is at least it means we have to do something. albeit faster than expected. Council said that we are even more complicated by my need for home oxygen! Grr...thats not really my fault is it? Oh well.. will have to just wait and see. Will probably move us into city - lady at council said it as if that would be a problem?!?! Er no...anything u can offer us will be fine! I can't believe anyone would complain about this??? Strange conversation.

Therefore debt busting is on hold until we know what's going on. I do have some items on ebay though.

In the short term still cracking on with my list! Must get everything sorted out now - no excuse! :rolleyes:

NIGHTMARE! NIGHTMARE! NIGHTMARE! NIGHTMARE! NIGHTMARE! NIGHTMARE!

Hi,

I've read your thread over the last few days and I really enjoy it.

What a nightmare!!! I'm sure after reading your thread you'll get somewhere sorted one way or another, you just seem like that kind of person. Well done on what you've managed so far and good luck with finding a new home.

Helen. xx

Thanks Helen - Glad you enjoy reading my ramblings. Thanks for your well wishes. I am sure things will come together they do usually even if it isn't in the way we want it too!!

Well.. no MSE means I am super productive...perhaps I should ban MSE everyweekend?? (:eek:Nooooo) Hope everyone had a good weekend.
Have done all of my to do list :jHave got 5 items on ebay. Everything is tidy woop whoop! Am going to list 5 items on ebay every week from now on until I run out of stuff. I have even managed to find time to study this weekend. Although I failed my initial plan to get assignments done by end of march - only 2 left. Will carry on with this for the rest of the day. Have said OH can go to pub to watch footie later as a reward for being so productive this weekend! Ha ha!! Have also put some weight on. Only 1 more stone to go.

Things are a bit tense at home - so am just carrying on with stuff. Nothing more can do until 20/4.

Done banking etc. Nothing new to add. Scratchies are nearing payout again. Think I am going to give up with surveys. Been doing them since xmas and still no where near getting anything. Perhaps I will competitions instead? Hmm..will think...still need to think of some ways to get bit xtra towards 20k pay. Will have to leave this for a bit though until know whats happening.

Top priority atm is to finish my studying - can then forget this until next academic year (sept) Otherwise...

The council are terrible for housing. My partner and I got put in a 'silver' band due to health reasons but could be waiting years. Not good.

babyhead

ARGH - sorry to hear that. I think our council are quite good. will let u know how i get on ;O)

Monday again.....done banking and scratchies. Scratchies will be able to withdraw 10 tomorrow. woop woop.

Had a terrible night sleep last night. Kept worrying about things. OH gave me snuggles though and made it all better He went to work this am and I was still dead to the world. I always seem to sleep rubbish when I say "need to stick to my work timetable!". Grrr.....

Monthly review etc done aswell now. Ebay items have no bids atm but watchers so hopefully Have decided and agreed with my mum that if I sell the item my dad lent me the money for I will pay cc/OD off as this will save us 100 a month which I can then (in theory) give to dad or if skint can go towards other things. My mum is being nice to me atm just my dad who is evil :rolleyes: So lets just hope my ebay items sell...fingers crossed.
We have agreed that we can stay here until the end of the month. Can't really prepare a budget or anything for this as have no idea of figs :mad: have done a very rough estimate and we are in credit each month but will have to see. Will not be spending as much as poss for the rest of this month.
must remember to pay/collect catologue this week. is due on saturday. :mad: Oh well not many more months to go. CANT WAIT.

Anyway... work to do. Am only 1 hr behind schedule. So not too bad... catch ya laterz all. xxx
