  • hello everyone, hope you are all having a good day. i love reading all the little ways you are helping to become debt free. all good ideas and help to keep me on track!!

    well i didnt do all my list yesterday either - didnt do my online shop, but didnt go and buy anything either, just have to wait till i get things delivered. i will do it tonight, dd had to have crackers and cheese for her lunch and no bread and i have no tea so having hot chocolate as my substitute..also dog doesnt have any food so will have to think what to do for her dinner.......
    today i will also do/have done:


    * Look at online banking, got to keep a tight yey on it as paid of £150 of the credit card so got to be careful for the rest of the mth...
    * check for any surveys, quidco etc...
    * done a wash on 30 and have more to do, will air dry.
    * ironing, will also help heat the house a bit, lol.
    * have a nsd (apart from internet shoppingwhich is budgeted and will come out tomorrow...)
    * turn things of that are not being used (still trying to get into the habit, lights when left room, tv etc...)

    only bad dfw thing i have to do at the moe is drive everywhere including the school run, as i was in hospital at the weekend and been told to take it easy, so will listen to them even thought i hate seeing the petrol line going down and i havent even been out of the village....got to think of baby though....

    anyway hope your all having a good day

    Of course they are wearing pants, they are under the black tights which are under the white slipper socks...

    I hope those slipper socks have the non-slip stuff on the soles... all that 3-way jigging about could get dangerous.

    This has gotten silly now (like that's a new thing...) Thanks for getting me through my day everyone!

    See, I was going to mention the black tights and white shoes but thought I'd be called silly. Glad you did it instead! :D

    But with regards to the pants...can't see that they even have a bum!!!

  • Well - if I could stop laughing for long enough I might be able to type.

    Bursting outloud in a lab, sniggering, not very scientific - but then again as ALL I have been doing is wieghing wood, just wood, chunks of wood. Then I guess a giggle is allowed. I mean how many bits of wood can a girl wiegh? answer this is the forth time I have wieghed 172 chunks of wood, all labelled and weighed before and after being cooked for 4 days (90 degrees if you fancy trying this at home). How exciting is my life (its a job!).

    Anyway diary, um yeah think good idea - KTJazz how about making soup surprise - you know stock cube random bits from cupboard (generally bendy or an odd assortment) then whizz up when cooked, call it something intreguing or obscure or prentend its a secret family recipe - I have made leftover tomato chicken (stew) soup today - tis tasty nutritous and sounds better than whizzed up leftover surprise stew tatties and a bit of the salad (wilty dodgy looking stuff) all now simmering away. Calling it 'Country tomato' I think, sure brother, lodger and childrens will be none the wiser. The dog did look at me as if to say - 'same old same old'

    Hope you are all good. Piq - um sorry - BIG DATE?????????? (is this your meeting or is this a DATE?) spill the beans my little pony sock wearing friend.
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:
