Wendys Spend Less, Make More Diary

wendz86

Thanks guys. The presentation went really well and all the postcards that i took with me went so that is good. Only time will tell whether anyone got a job.

I had a good weekend. I was down in Southampton and took my Mum to lunch Sat for an early Mothers Day present. We went to Haha and was really nice but cost a fair but after the food, drink and coffees. Then I went out for dinner as well with my friends which was good and I had a nice salad as was still full up from lunch.

I went to see my friend and her baby again as I bought him a really cute little top from H and M. She is still tired bless her. I had a lovely cuddle though and he was quite happy with me awww!

Today we went to my Grandmas and had a sort of buffet lunch which was nice. I have been so tired all day though even though I haven't done much.

I am seriously short of money now and still two weeks till payday. I had to buy a bit more petrol to get home and also as we are going househunting Thurs but didn't fill the whole tank. Next weekend I am planning on staying in and doing a big clean so that will be cheaper.

Heh glad the presentation went well, but I know what you mean about money. It's passing through me like water at the mo for some reason. Need to stop.

I had a really fun day this morning. Work had organised for some of us to go on a tour of GMTV studios and have a breakfast. Was really fun and we got to watch them film all of Loraine Kelly and we met her and also Kate Garaway and Ben Shephard from GMTV. We also had a lovely breakfast with a great view of London.

I had to pay for Yoga for four sessions today so money stuation is even worse. Next month I am signing up for this thing where they take £5 from my wages wach month and I get money off Yoga and lots of other stuff. I will save £8 a month from yoga so worth doing it for that alone.

I did a food shop but we didn't need much which is good.I did get a bargain whole chicken for £1.50 which I have frozen so we can have a nice roast at the weekend.

Wow Wendz, your job sounds so amazing! Your day at GMTV sounds fab!

Sounds like your bargain chicken was a great deal too. Very MSE of you!:D

How is yoga going? Is it difficult?

wendz86

It is hard but I like doing it as it makes me feel like I am actually doing some exersize. They don't push you though and you only have to do what you can.

OH and I are going to look at some houses/flats tomorrow which I am excted about. Hopefully we will find something. The estate agents who are looking after our flat have asked if we can move out quicker than end of April so if we find somewhere tomorrow hopefully we can move in sooner than we originally thought.

I have had two NSD's so doing quite well.Hopefully my little money will last me.

domesticgoddess789

Well done on the NSDs. They all add up, don't they?
Hope you find somewhere you like tomorrow Wendz

Well some good news for us!

Today we found a flat we really like so we have paid the first part and it is being held for us, we just need to sort out the forms etc, exciting! It is a really nice flat that is in a newish development. It has two good sized bedrooms,so my sister will be moving in with us for a while. It also has an en suite on our room and another bathroom too. The development has got two restaurants and its own mini supermarket type thing and hairdressers and pub so is lovely. It is overlooking a lock for canal boats which is so lovely. It is only a five min walk to train station so wont take me too long to get to work either.

We need to get some furniture etc as is unfurnished so is going to be an expensive couple of months but am so excited!

OH and I have been trying to work out all the money stuff which is really confusing. Hopefully we will manage to work it all out.
