My debt free dream....

Morning....done banking/scratchies etc. All okay. Have withdrawn 10 from scratchies today :jThis will go into xmas fund.

Had a good night's sleep last night so feel LOADS better today. Docs are definately right that no sleep makes my lung condition worse. I was so wheezy and knackered yesterday. Didn't do a lot of work yesterday so must catch up today in order to stay on target! :rolleyes:

Have done a couple of things from my list Although I didn't get on the wii fit yesterday or stick to work hours but not to worry it is going okay!

Am waiting for loan payment to go out - should be today but not left yet?? - then I am done for the month I fear. Am not making any overpayments this month as need to keep a bit of cash back for whatever our housing situation brings up. All our house stuff is in storage atm but we def will need to buy a cooker and I don't know what else we might need so think better keep some reserve funds just in case. It is so up in the air!!

Ebay items have lots of watchers so hopefully this is promising...

Have set up my saving "pots" - updated signature with these. I'll include the scratchie money although it isn't in there yet. Can't update sig with monthly total as loan not gone out yet and fig not updated. will do this is couple of days. That's a bit depressing as it is only the first week of april! oh well...

Things are still tense at home. AND my dad broke my all time fave mug which I have had for like 23 years. I was not amused. It was an accident I know but still...couldn't have happened at a worse time as relations are already fraught :rotfl:I'm cheesed off but I do have a little perspective!

Think that is about as upto date as I can be. Plan for today is to catch up with work. This means that I shall probably be found lurking on here all day....:rotfl:Have a nice day to those who are bored reading this - it looks sunny outside for once! :j

Another day...done banking/scratchies etc...all fine.

Have managed to catch up with my work hours so that's all good. Looks like ebay isn't going to sell again! :mad: Think I will have to leave it a bit and try again in a month or so. :mad: Otherwise not sure how to get rid of??

As much of yesterday was spent working and didn't do a lot else nothing really to report on today.

Its sunny again! Yay!! :j Although it did pour down in the night :rolleyes: take care all and have a good day! My plan for today is to carry on with work hours and play with DS. Going to do some crafty stuff this morning so must crack on!

Morning!

Done banking/scratchies etc. All fine. OH got paid today and loan paid off so is his first full wages for a year!! YAY!! 80/100 quid a month will make such a difference! and with all the overtime he does. MY OH IS FANTASTIC. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. :D:D

Have sorted out phone rebate - is in envelope ready to go. One of those stupid clauses where it has to be received between x and y dates. So will be posting on 18th!!! Will sort out credit files over the weekend i think and finish my assignments. Haven't done any studying this week yet Oh well...will get it done this weekend. OH has long weekend so no excuse really! Need to find some more items for ebay too although we have loads so no problem there really. Lots of watchers and one item has a bid so thats good!! The expensive item didn't sell on ebay - one person offered to pay in installments but I can't really be bothered with that tbh. I have emailed the company to see whether they will buy back off me. It says on their website that they sell 2nd hand ones..so a long short but worth a try??

Have updated signature etc. bit depressing as only paid the minimums for this month so hardly made a dent. Its amazing how much difference an over payment makes!! I have paid catalogue but no ones paid me yet though :rolleyes: But I haven't seen them and should get it tomorrow I hope! I am still owed some wages aswell but all is in hand!

Its pouring down today - yukky yukky. Plan for today is work/DS/study...
have a good day all albeit a bit wet!!! xx

Quick update - emailed company said would offer me 1300 - eek!! I paid 2750 for it and it is 6 months old! eek! eek! eek!! Thats really bad...I wanted 2k for it ideally. So would be a loss of 700 BUT would be less hassle than selling on ebay. Hmm...decisions...will have to see what OH thinks.

Things generally seem to be going in the right direction....as for the £1300 - well, you have to weigh up the possibility of it not selling elsewhere - might be worth taking the £1300 and writing off the rest, just to say "it's done"....

Another quick update - hmm - things are progressing today no??

Council sent me a leaftlet to buy one of the S/O houses that have been built not to far from us. So I wondered whether there was any HA rental ones - rang council and there are 11 units AND they haven't been allocated yet. So depending on points/local connections etc etc.. we might get allocated to one of these. BRILLIANT! Will definately bring up at our meeting on 20/4 as surely its unlikely they would be able to sort all the allocations out in the four days next week? They are within are "chosen" areas and they obviously know about our situation so I guess there is no risk of us being missed out??? They weren't sure on the phone of a date for when they would be ready but thought June. So that is only 2 months of homelessness....:rolleyes: that is presuming they offer us one!

Also done my tax return - luckily (!) I have paid too much tax in my previous employment so I only have to find 426.4 by January. Will update sig etc properly tomo.

I think we agree HYPNO - OH has said to just "get rid of the thing". So will be sorting this out after the weekend.

Morning!

Done banking/scratchies. Nothing very interesting to report! Need to sort out spending money for this weekend and will probably over spend :rolleyes: Oh well. We are taking DS out for the day tomorrow as I think we all need a treat.

Got some work to do and want to finish off my studying.
Need to find 5 items for ebay.

I am failing miserably on the wii fit front :eek: Need to give myself a kick up the bum!:rotfl:

Have a good easter all!

Evening...what a lovely day.

Done banking/scratchies etc all fine. Paid catologue and got the money for it yay!

Need to find the items for ebay tomorrow but is fairly easy just need to go and retrive some bits from storage.

The postie bought good news today also - council have nominated us for a house quite locally...they probably think that we've said we are homeless on purpose (:eek:to people who do that???!)...but we honestly didn't know anything about it until today. We didn't even know where it was but have just had a look and seems ok! Oh well..don't count your chickens and all that :rolleyes: Will have to wait and see if we get offered it.

Anyway...take care all and happy easters xx

Arvo...done banking/scratchies etc. All fine. 3 of my items sold on ebay will be about 70 quid profit

Need to list 5 more items - will sort out tomorrow.

Other than that all is fine. Haven't done any studying yet either. Can not be bothered! Will do some soon though....:rolleyes:

Morning...this weekend has just flown by! Grr...

Done banking/scratchies all pretty boring. Had a relaxing weekend with OH and DS and so haven't done much else. Haven't sorted any items to go on ebay yet but it doesn't matter too much (!?)

Have emailed company to sort out getting the 1300 ish. Will try and neg up to 1500 but will see how it goes.

Here's hoping for some good news re housing situation today. Would definately take a worry away. I really don't know where we are going to go I think that not knowing makes it worse aswell IYSWIM but there isn't anything else I can do...we will either get offered something or we won't. There are great forces at work :rotfl:

All housing issues aside - things are okay and happy. Looks miserable out so good job plan is to have a quiet day in today!
