Floozie's Lightbulb Diary

How exciting, a :money: new car! Mr. Floozie will have an incentive to carry on being smoke-free in order to make up the difference.

Do Vauxhalls come in uber cool colours or is this a very sensible grown up car?

ps. Your sig is just a bit out of date. June was so last month and the month before that. (Can you tell I'm recovering from an Ugly Betty marathon?)

p.p.s. Happy payday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr Floozie is doing brilliantly with his smoking - or rather with his NOT smoking. Not one cigarette has passed his lips for two weeks and two days now. He's still on patches and has a plastic cigarette which he is constantly puffing on or chewing on. He is loving having some money leftover

Will update sig forthwith!

Our Vauxhall is a very grown up, metallic very dark blue. It's not my cup of tea, I liked looking like an explosion in a paint factory. I was trying to show my colleague the car out of the window this morning however being quite high up, I couldn't work out which car it was as there were several similar.........oh well, at least I will be able to drive past my mum's without her phoning me cos she's seen the car LOL

Oh my bloody goodness! I have hardly any money left at all already!!!!

£670 remaining after bills.

£44.00 football subs
£13.20 paper bill
£80.00 petrol (might be less but not sure yet)
£20.00 playscheme
£39.00 bus fares
£100.00 car fund

leaves me £374.73 and 30 Days to payday. I think I am going to have to really reign in my shopping bills this month (eek) and forget about the diet! Also have to buy DS1 some school shoes and probably school trousers this month too.

Just looked at loan figures:
Loan 1: Last month = £7095.86. Now = £6999.01 (YAY)
Loan 2: Last month = £4412.80. Now = £4274.90
A reduction of: £234.75

Not sure about loan 3, but should receive a statement in November time.

PS - also remembered, from reading through this thread trying to see what the loan figures were last month, that my brother owes me £40 for the sofa!

Not sure if you already know but the Sunday Mail have Tesco vouchers in for non-food tomorrow - apparently last week it included clothes and back to school stuff.

Floozie thats really not a bad start to the month. It gives you a tenner a day until the next payday which will go so much further now your OH isn't spending half that on fags each day.

I'm sure you can come up with an alternative to the diet that doesn't cost as much even if its simply getting on and off the bus a stop earlier and walking a bit further each day. Empty mouth of coffee. Could you do an aerobics class or swim? Its not like you actually need to lose weight (or at least the you I met didn't scream oh my god lard !!!!!). I guess its more finding a weight and shape you're happy with. OH is currently losing weight through stealth. I've substituted a lot of the meat in his diet for lentils. Hes not impressed although the DDs think they taste better than mince.

Thanks for that, but I need to wait until nearer the end of the holidays as my eldest lad keeps having growth spurts so they'd probably be out of date. I didn't know about the vouchers though, I bought the NOTW as I wanted to read about Kerry Katona's drug abuse :rotfl::rotfl:

DH gets £200 per month pocket money which he never ever manages to stick to and is always scrounging extra money a week before pay-day however I have given him the hard word that I will NOT be subbing him this month, he has £200 for the whole month just for himself and I have £370 for the whole family.

That was very nice of you to say I don't need to lose weight but I do, I'm currently a 16 and want to be a 12 which means I need to shift at least 3.5 stones.

I eat out of boredom and because I am in the house a lot more with it being the school holidays I am boredom eating a lot more. I hate swimming with a passion, but I do like going to the gym and I adore walking, as long as I have 'something' at the end of it - for example, have 40 minutes to walk 2 miles to pick up DS2 from school, or a 2m walk into town to go shopping for something nice for myself. Saying to myself I'll walk 2m into town, then ring DH to pick me up just wouldn't cut it as there's nowt to motivate me.

Me too. It would be rude not to!! Funny how that Mark has gone out when the camera in her en-suite caught her busy 'hoovering'.
