    Morning :hello:

    Hope everyone is well!!

    Not much to report - just checking in. Ok out for very good friends birthday meal this evening. Going to have to take out tomorrows budget today. Do have a tenner left though from this week. So hopefully stuff will be ok!

    Got to;

    1) Send off direct debit form for the account changing thing.

    2) Work out bills left to come out

    3) Try and go for a walk at lunch time. I need to get healthier!

    Have a good tuesday everyone :D

  • Morning Emms!!

    Hope you're off somewhere nice for the b/day night? Glad I'm not the only one inundated with birthday's and other celebratory events at the mo!!

    Sorry I'm not around much - I'm actively trying to stay off the computer - since I always think "I'll just pop on MSE for 5 mins" and I'm still there 2 hours later!! :confused:

    Still reading away though, and I'll pop in when I can! :D

    xx
  • Hello,

    Thought I'd pop in say hello and see how you are doing.
    I'll join you in the getting healthier thingy too- although won't walk this lunchtime as I have my sexy over the knee boots on:rolleyes:
    I have a fixed rate mortgage due to end in May, is that what happened to you? I wonder what my new repayment will be????
    Did you ring them or did they contact you, I'm with Halifax.

    Have a good day and a nice walk;)

    Hi Emms - I've not got anything to report either.... in fact my money is so dull today that I may have to go and do some daily clicks (something that I find incredibly tedious!)

    Hope you have a nice time this evening.! Nats x

    Hello everyone :D

    Laura – Thanks hun! Not sure where we’re off too yet! Was kinda hoping to find out from them last night so I could budget – but they weren’t quite sure! It should be ok though as they’re some of the good ones who understand I have no money!

    LOL at just popping on “for 5 mins” – I’m with you there!! Some of my friends are addicted to facebook – but I think I’m addicted to here! :o

    Nats – you MUST be bored :p!!! Know from your diary how much you look forward to them ….. :rolleyes:

    OBNW - :hello: over the knee boots?!??! What like the ones Julia Roberts wears in ‘Pretty Woman??? Very sexy indeed!! Can you imagine the wolf whistles if you did go walking ;)

    I posted in your diary about mortgage stuff :)

    1) [STRIKE]Send off direct debit form for the account changing thing. [/STRIKE]– Done and in the post

    2) [STRIKE]Work out bills left to come out [/STRIKE]- Woohoo :j only Broadband/phone to come out

    3) [STRIKE]Try and go for a walk at lunch time. I need to get healthier! [/STRIKE]– Did it – had to pop to town for a gift bag (got cheap one!) and chocolate for the pregnant girl at work (you don’t argue when she asks you to get her chocolate … ;)) so walked back the really long way I could. Reckoned I walked about 25-30 mins in total. OBNW – I bought my trainers in so I could power walk it!!

    Have a good rest of the day – its nearly end of Tuesday – almost half-way through the week :D

    I have actually never been compared to Julia Roberts (odd because it seems so right when you think about it;) ) Alf Roberts.......
    I'm 47 so it not so much wolf whistles I tend to get more hysteria, but my victims usually find counselling helps :p

    Happy happy Wednesday and we nearly half way there (not that I’m counting the days to the weekend or anything ;))

    Well today on my ‘direct debit changing mission’ – today’s companies are;

    1) [STRIKE]Water people [/STRIKE]- DONE!!!

    2) [STRIKE]Telephone people [/STRIKE]- DONE!!

    3) Sky

    4) Income insurance


    Lunchtime - I have been for another walk – for some strange reason I’m enjoying it!! And MSE wise – I should be having a NSD today. All good so far! And last night at meal didn’t spend – long story, but helps in my DF journey… .. This means I now have this weeks budget to save for Saturday (night out with friends, planned for ages). I’m not taking any more out though – so I will have to get by on that! Here’s to NSD days til Saturday!!!

    Hope you're all having a good day!

    [STRIKE]3) Sky [/STRIKE] Did that too yest afternoon

    [STRIKE]4) Income insurance [/STRIKE] and this!

    Nothing much to report this morning - I did acheive my NSD yesterday too and along with Saturday - I just need to update my signature!

    Today I need to get petrol and unfortunately completely ran out of time for making lunch this morning. Normally I do make it the night before but I was really busy last night. I am gonna see if the soup at work is nice as that's only £1.25 and I did bring in fruit and homemade flapjack.

    How is everyone?? I hope you are well??
